As critical infrastructure and industrial companies invest in digital transformation to increase operational efficiency, cyber risks have become more prominent, resulting in unscheduled downtime, negative corporate brand perceptions and data & security concerns. 100% visibility is becoming a challenging task as the size and complexity of networks increase. Current cybersecurity strategies combine both inline and out-of-band solutions with a suite of active blocking and passive monitoring tools. Network TAPs provide best practices for providing packet visibility from commonly used switching devices to NETWORK AND SECURITY monitoring tools rather than SPAN connection. Threat detection, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and forensics tools, as well as tools for network protection, can access complete packet data to analyze.
