Introduction: The Need for Faster, More Secure Networks The explosion of cloud computing, IoT, and video streaming has pushed WAN bandwidth demands to unprecedented levels. While Ethernet speeds have evolved from 10G to 100G and beyond, encryption technologies have struggled to keep up. Enter MACsec (802.1AE)—a Layer 2 encryption standard that provides line-rate security without compromising performance. Unlike traditional IPsec, which operates at the IP… Continue reading MACsec: The Future of High Speed Ethernet Encryption for WAN Security
