At the heart of the product line is the VANGUARD™ Fiber Optic Network Monitoring System. Using patented technologies, VANGUARD ensures the integrity and availability of network data by monitoring spare (unused) strands of fibers within optical cables making up the network infrastructure. This 24/7/365 monitoring allows the system to immediately detect and report even the most subtle tampering of the most sophisticated intrusion attempts conducted for the purposes of data theft (tapping) or denial of service.
With Plug-and-Protect™ capability, VANGUARD can rapidly be added to existing network infrastructure. As an added advantage, monitoring standard armored fiber optic cable with VANGUARD could eliminate the need for costly electrical metallic tubing (EMT), greatly reducing the overall CAPEX and OPEX for an organization, providing instantaneous ROI, and enabling cost-effective scalability across various sites around the globe.
Gartner reports that 75% of all network cabling is located in publicly accessible spaces, making it a easy target for data theft and destruction that could degrade network performance or availability.
