Maximum Performance and Powerful Packet Level Visibility for Connectivity Across your OT and IT Environments
Garland EdgeLens Solution
Garland’s EdgeLens series is an advanced bypass TAP with built-in packet broker functionality that centralizes network traffic, making network tools more efficient by sharing network traffic with monitoring and security tools. EdgeLens provides visibility for a hybrid configuration of an active, inline network device and out-of-band tools, such as LiveAction. EdgeLens provides identical network traffic streams through the active inline device and to the capture engine of LiveAction LiveWire or LiveCapture. The benefits of both devices seeing the same traffic are:
• Correlated data for real-time monitoring and root cause analysis using network packets.
• Historical look back and playback of the network traffic.
• Validating and updating network policy changes and spotting anomalies.
• Network data recording for compliance and security forensics.
• Root cause analysis for application and network related problems.
TAP -> TOOL
How it Works
- Intelligent network visibility starts with using Garland Technology Network TAPs to copy full duplex traffic from the IT and/or OT network. Garland’s TAPs help overcome limitations that occur when SPAN/mirror ports are used, while providing data diode functionality to guarantee unidirectional traffic flow.
- To optimize the network, the tapped traffic is delivered to a Garland Network Packet Broker for aggregation, load balancing and filtering.
- The Forescout Platform processes the groomed data in real-time to automate the discovery, assessment and governance of all OT, IoT and IT assets. Forescout uses this data to provide network security, risk and exposure management, and extended detection and response.
- Forescout’s continuously expanding Industrial Threat Library and ICS-specific Indicator of Compromise (IOC) and Vulnerabilities (CVE) database works to protect asset owners from advanced cyberattacks, network misconfigurations and operational errors.
Forescout is the only automated cybersecurity vendor with a single platform for continuously identifying and mitigating risk across all managed and unmanaged assets – IT, IoT, IoMT and OT – from campus to data center to edge. For more than 20 years, we have delivered cybersecurity innovations that protect many of the world’s largest, most trusted organizations in finance, government, healthcare, manufacturing and other industries. www.forescout.com

Bypass manages the availability of inline tools, preventing a single point of failure in the network by “bypassing” the device in the event it fails or needs to be updated. Reducing network downtime. Bypass is unique to the other TAP modes, as it is an inline use case not out-of-band.
