Planning for Visibility at Cisco Live! U.S. 2016

Written by Chris Bihary | 7/5/16 2:00 PM

After attending Cisco Live Berlin back in February, we marked our calendars for July 10 to July 14 when the show comes to Las Vegas, NV. The Cisco Live shows are meant to bring the world’s foremost technology innovators together for an event filled with educational and networking opportunities.

As we learned in Berlin and last year in San Diego, Cisco Live gives us an opportunity to spread the word about the need for network TAPs for guaranteed network visibility.

At Cisco Live in Las Vegas, Garland Technology, a Certified Cisco Solution Partner, will be in the invitation-only Cisco’s Security Partner Village for the World of Solutions Vendor Showcase—and we hope to see you there!

Going to Cisco Live in Las Vegas this Year?

We took every opportunity at Cisco Live Berlin to convert people from SPAN ports to network TAPs as they came by our booth. If you’re going to be at Cisco Live, be sure to check in with the Garland Green Team (shown above), including Chris Bihary (CEO/Co-Founder), Randy Clark (Director of Sales), and Chris Pieri (Sales Manager) to learn about our exclusive Cisco Security Solutions for FirePower

Don’t just stop by our booth, though. Sit in on Chris Bihary’s presentation on Tuesday, July 14th at 1 p.m., entitled “How to Find Your Blind Spots: Plan for Visibility.

In this 10-minute talk, Chris will present high-level and practical insight into planning and requiring visibility in today’s complex networks. Not only that, but the discussion will also cover how modern network security architecture must support a growing security stack including firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, forensics and more to guard against the growing threat landscape.

If you’re still trying to get by with SPAN ports, Chris’ presentation will teach you exactly why now is the time to make a change to network TAPs for proper visibility.
