Network and information security has become increasingly important with growing usage of the Internet and other information and communication technologies.

In today's society, much depends on networks and information systems. Additional requirements for security will rapidly increase as networking and computing develop further and electronic communications become part of all aspects of our daily lives.

Enhanced security is therefore a key element for the success of broadband.
