The suite of products
Network bypass switches
Niagara’s Bypass Switch ensures failover or fail-safe capabilities for an inline networking device or a network security tool such as a firewall, NGFW, IDS/IPS, WAF, DDOS and many other flavours of threat detection platforms. If the network or security appliance fails or needs to be taken off-line for whatever reason, its traffic is automatically rerouted, ensuring uninterrupted traffic flow on the network.
Network packet brokers
Niagara’s Packet Brokers deliver access to network data to NetOps & SecOps to enable detection, investigation and response to threats in real-time.
Network and Virtual TAPs
Niagara’s TAPs are used to create a “copy” of the traffic for use by various monitoring devices. It allows traffic mirroring, and it is part of an organization’s network stack. There are 2 offerings: passive and active TAPs. The TAPs support a wide range of connectors, fibre types and interface speeds.
Open Visibility Platform
The platform offers organizations the agility to host virtualized security applications and monitoring tools. It consists of a modular multi-purpose node which supports the taps or switch bypass functionality as well as a packet process acceleration module for solutions hosting and traffic processing.
