IT security, whether deployed at the edge of the network, within a traditional data center or enterprise, all have a common theme — cybersecurity tools need proper packet visibility to protect. Or commonly stated — you can’t secure what you cannot see.

Threat detection, Intrusion detection systems (IDS) and forensics tools rely on complete packet data to properly analyze for network protection. Network blindspots and dropped or duplicated packets inhibit the performance of these tools, potentially missing anomalies or threats. In today's cybersecurity environments, this is not acceptable. Network TAPs ensure best practices for instrumenting packet visibility for out-of-band monitoring tools, over the commonly used switch SPAN.

Simplify your security stack

Today’s security strategies incorporate both inline and out-of-band solutions, with a suite of active blocking and passive monitoring tools. Many security teams are looking for ways to future proof their network ahead of the Edge explosion by architecting remote locations and data centers with purpose-built inline bypass, packet broker and cloud visibility solutions, which provide the resiliency and performance your tools need to ensure these segments are secure and scalable. 

Garland Technology’s full line of inline bypass TAPs and packet brokers are designed to simplify modern security stacks, with the first integrated bypass family to handle your entire security strategy — from remote sites, data center and enterprise.
