RE: Fiber Taps

["Talisker" <lists () securitywizardry com>]

Rob,
I faced a similar situation a few years back and collated a list of every
tap vendor http://www.securitywizardry.com/taps.htm As far as I know it
still details every vendor except one, I lost the details for them, though I
don't remember the company.  I also have details on a tap detection system
which goes beyond the standard threshold alarm.

Be careful they vary greatly in their capabilities

cheers
