How Passive Optical LAN Can Remove 84 Points of Vulnerability from Your Network

Passive Optical LAN can drastically improve the physical local area network’s defensibility, enabling consistent protection policies that are centrally managed – all while reducing human error and increasing network stability.

The greatest proof of Optical LAN’s ability to tighten an enterprises’ cyber security posture by reducing a companies’ attack surface, is best illustrated by how OLAN reduces network points of vulnerability.

For example, let’s start with a copper-based legacy corporate LAN design that connects 4,032 Gigabit Ethernet from eighty-four 48-port workgroup switches and one distribution/aggregation switch. The process to harden this enterprise network to ensure secure operations would need to address:
