Protect your company data
Encryption for optical networks
Encryption directly on the optical layer of the network (layer 1) helps you to effectively protect your sensitive data from cyber threats - without any loss of performance during data transmission. You can also prepare for the future by using quantum-safe encryption today, which gives hackers no chance even when using quantum computers.
As experts in optical networks and cyber security, we offer customized encryption solutions that are precisely tailored to your needs. Whether hybrid standard encryption or quantum-safe encryption: you can rely on our layer 1 experience and our expertise for maximum security!
Why Layer 1 encryption?
Absolute security: Layer 1 encryption offers maximum security because the data is encrypted directly on the physical layer. This protects your information from eavesdropping attempts and data leaks before it reaches the other network layers. This enables companies and authorities to meet the ever-increasing compliance requirements (e.g. NIS-2, KRITIS, BaFin).
Zero latency: By implementing Layer 1 encryption, the speed of data transmission is not affected - for lightning-fast and secure communication without any delays.
Easy integration: Layer 1 encryption can be seamlessly integrated into existing network infrastructures. Encryption does not require extensive changes and is compatible with most devices and technologies.
Stay “crypto-agile”
Standardized methods for protection against cyber attacks ensure the authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of your data today. But will they still be sufficient tomorrow?
The BSI recommends: stay agile!
Being able to respond quickly to future security requirements is what the term “crypto-agility” was developed for in the industry. The aim is to make the design of encryption methods “as flexible as possible in order to be able to react to developments, implement future recommendations and standards and possibly replace algorithms that no longer achieve the desired level of security in the future.”

We ensure the greatest possible security for your data tomorrow - let's talk about the options!
Your experts for fiber optics and encryption
For over 20 years, dacoso has been the leading specialist for optical data connections. And early on, we integrated AES-256 encryption into data center interconnects and site networks at Layer 1 - a solution that met with great interest, especially among security-conscious companies and authorities. Today, we are the market leader for encrypted DWDM connections in the DACH region and our customers include renowned banks, insurance companies and large corporations.
We research for more quantum security!
dacoso is also a pioneer in quantum-safe encryption. Together with our Swiss partner ID Quantique and our DWDM supplier Adtran, we introduced quantum key distribution (QKD) solutions for our customers at an early stage. We continue to work on this and are involved in constructive research projects with universities and manufacturers.
