FirstLight Launches Encrypted Wavelength Solution For In-Flight Data Security

FirstLight has added an encrypted wavelength solution to its portfolio of services.

This solution is designed to simplify end-user security management using an integrated, web-based application network tool. It enables ultra-low-latency encryption, securing sensitive customer data while in-flight.

The solution provides cost-effective and scalable wire-speed encryption for end-to-end data protection without sacrificing network performance.

FirstLight’s Encrypted Wavelength solution encrypts data at the physical and most basic layer where data first enters before traveling across a network.

The hardware and software components that are the foundation of FirstLight’s solution are compliant with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2, offering assurance that FirstLight’s Encrypted Wavelength solution complies with stringent encryption algorithms, and best-practice user authentication standards.

While attractive to all businesses, the product is designed to support industries that are subject to security compliance and regulations, including those in healthcare, finance, municipal government, and law enforcement, which often deal with sensitive information such as social security numbers, medical histories, and financial information.
