I have a client who has a fiber optic line between two buildings.
There is no physical security and so they are concerned about someone
tapping into the fiber line and capturing data.
I read something a while back about tapping fiber optic lines
Hi,
Can anybody recommend a good SELF PACED CBT on CD(s) or Web Based Training?
I am interested in taking some advanced level security courses on UNIX,
Win2k, firewalls, vulnerability assessments, firewalls, networks, etc. I

security (about a decade as a network admin, now taking on more and more
responsibility) and have Googled the Propfind command... only a handful
of results (including a MS Whitepaper I am currently reading).
Does anyone know

The two ways they mentioned (wrt monitoring fiber optic traffic) would

In order to tap into a fiber line you have to break the sheath. The signal
is entirely optic, if you don't break the sheath you can't even see the
signal. However, even if someone does decide to break into it then they've
got another problem, exactly how to do it, it's extremely difficult
I'd recommend getting as many of the CompTIA certs as you can (in between
