Network Infrastructure Security
Fiber Optic Technology Solutions Are Simple and EffectiveEvery Chicago area business participating in today’s globally digital landscape understands that threats to their network infrastructure is part of the price of doing business. Public and private Illinois businesses in sectors as diverse as healthcare, transportation and finance stay vigilant while continually searching for new and better solutions to block determined cybercriminals from gaining access to network infrastructure.
A Secure Network Begins with Building a Tougher Network Infrastructure: Physical Layer 1
Endpoint encryption has become the industry standard over the years, but why not start at the foundation by improving physical layer 1 security strategies?
To give you an idea of how the physical layer 1 can help protect your network infrastructure, explore a few of its many functions:
Defines Bits
Physical layer 1 determines the manner in which bits convert from 0s and 1s into signals.
Figures Data Rate
Determines the rate at which data flows in bits per second.
Synchronizes Devices
Ensures that sending and receiving devices are fully synchronized.
Sets Transmission Mode
Deciphers the direction of transmissions and whether they are simplex, half-duplex or full-duplex.
Gauges the Interface
Determines the way that devices connect to a particular transmission medium, such as radio waves or Ethernet.
In practical context, Physical security layer 1 differs from controls and vulnerabilities at higher levels in a fundamental way.
The higher layers of security deal with security controls intended to prevent denial, disclosure or alteration of data while physical layer 1 focuses on blocking intruders, thieves and vandals.
Physical layers serve as the front line—like roadblocks—against any physical intrusion that might include the following:
Data Theft via Music Player or Designated Storage Device (Podslurping)

Neglecting physical security concerns while attending to the higher layers could result in an easily preventable data compromise situation.
You can cover it all, from the bottom to top layers.
Whether you are seeking high-level data protection for critical infrastructure, private enterprise, classified networks or foreign government systems, a defense grade security provider that focuses on optical fiber monitoring to catch attacks at the physical layer could be the answer you have in mind.
Optical fiber is the primary medium for high-capacity communication in today’s digital sphere, responsible for the transportation of bits, data, file traffic, and aggregated internet each day. Optical fiber monitoring provides an efficient way to quickly identify, localize and neutralize problems with your fiber-based network infrastructure.
Our Technology – Umbrella Security Systems
High-level technologies include:
Video Surveillance, Access Control, High-Definition Cameras, Cyber Security, Mass Emergency Notification Systems and much more.
The safety and security of your business are a top priority. Having a commercial access control system is essential to protecting your staff, property, and company information. In this complete guide, you will learn how to make informed decisions about your access control system and how to secure your business.
Video surveillance systems are more important than ever in today’s business environment. All businesses – large or small – need an effective system to protect their assets and remain profitable. According to the United States’ National Crime Victimization Survey, billions of dollars are lost every year to robbery, theft, and burglary.
Security camera systems may be the most powerful tool in protecting your business. Through proper implementation, business security cameras can deter crime, improve situational awareness, and even identify areas for improvement in business operations.
Umbrella Security Systems can help you plan for emergencies. There is a wide variety of software and hardware solutions available on the market, and Umbrella Security Systems can help you choose the right mass notification system to protect your business.
Every business participating in today’s globally digital landscape understands that threats to their network infrastructure is part of the price of doing business. Public and private businesses in various sectors stay vigilant in blocking cybercriminals from gaining access to network infrastructure.
The IoT smart sensor is a security monitoring device that detects threats in sound, light or air. The complex sensor solution is solving major health and safety problems within a compact mechanical design with no recurring software expenses.
