WHY VISIBILITY MATTERS
The Truth is in the Packets™
Comprehensive threat detection demands total network visibility. You need to make sure every bit, byte, and packet is captured, delivered, and evaluated. Only then can your security tools deliver peak protection from cyberthreats across your computing infrastructure.
Network TAPs eliminate the risks associated with SPAN ports, such as dropped packets, misconfigurations, and performance bottlenecks. The enhanced visibility helps threat detection tools, such as intrusion detection systems (IDS) and network detection and response (NDR) solutions, monitor 100% of traffic – table stakes in today’s dynamic fight against evolving cyberthreats.

TAPs vs. SPAN
Why Getting It Right Matters
Using SPAN ports for threat detection often leads to incomplete and unreliable results:
- Packet loss. SPAN ports prioritize live network traffic, dropping packets under heavier loads.
- Misconfigurations. Misconfigured SPAN ports can stop traffic delivery altogether, creating blind spots.
- Security risks. SPAN traffic is vulnerable to attacks, allowing hackers to evade detection.
Garland Technology’s Network TAPs and Hardware Data Diodes eliminate these risks by providing a unidirectional data flow to your threat detection tools, ensuring there is no risk of packet injection back into the network.
A COSTLY LESSON
When $4 Million Isn’t Enough
One organization spent $4 million on state-of-the-art security tools but relied on SPAN ports to connect them. This choice led to incomplete data delivery, missed threats, and a costly network compromise. Changing the network infrastructure enabled the organization to maximize its investment.
Garland Technology’s Network TAPs capture every packet, allowing threat detection tools to successfully detect anomalies that SPANs may miss, better safeguarding your network – all while maintaining smooth, uninterrupted operations.

PROACTIVE THREAT PREVENTION
Stop Attacks Before They Happen
Prevention is the first line of defense in network security. By ensuring complete traffic visibility, GarlandTechnology’s Inline Bypass solutions integrate seamlessly with firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS),endpoint protection platforms (EPP) and other threat detection tools. This proactive approach blocks malware,phishing, and unauthorized access, reducing risks and improving your organization’s security posture.
Maintain 100% Network Uptime While Enhancing Security
Garland Technology’s Inline Bypass solutions deliver packets securely and efficiently without disrupting network performance. Even if a security tool is compromised or taken offline, Bypass TAPs and Bypass Packet Brokers bypass the inline security tool and ensure network uptime.

Scale Easily to Handle Organizational Growth -
and Evolving Threats
With Garland Technology’s highly scalable solutions, organizations can adapt to evolving threats and add new
security tools without downtime. You can evaluate and deploy emerging technologies using live network traffic to
bolster advanced defense capabilities, without the headaches of downtime or complex network re-configuration.
