Managing & Optimizing Data Flow
Profitap AcademyTo get a complete overview of the network, there are many points in the architecture where the traffic needs to be accessed. This is where Network Packet Brokers provide an extra layer to the monitoring platform, which helps aggregate and distribute the right traffic to the right tools efficiently. Network Packet Brokers orchestrate traffic coming from TAPs and SPAN/mirror ports across the network and perform advanced, intelligent traffic management to ensure that monitoring tools receive the appropriate packet data. Maximize the utilization of your toolset and leverage a Network Packet Broker to optimize the end-to-end traffic flow.
Explore our training videos, white papers, and use cases and learn how to optimize the performance of network analysis and security tools with Profitap Network Packet Brokers!

Use Cases & Solution Briefs
Telecom Provider Optimizes Security Platform Performance
Profitap was tasked by a leading Telecom provider to better integrate and optimize a cybersecurity solution into the network infrastructure. Key technical criteria were to collect relevant traffic from key capture points in the network and to feed it to two cybersecurity platforms that were centrally located.
Complete Network Visibility for Real-Time Detection and Response
A threat that goes unseen will go undefeated. Network visibility is crucial to protecting organizations from cyber-attacks. Without full traffic visibility, the security teams are limited in their ability to see the entire attack lifecycle, which in turn limits the understanding and context of what is really happening.
Industrial Network Visibility & Security with Profitap and SCADAfence
SCADAfence’s non-intrusive platform for deep packet inspection (DPI) together with Profitap’s network test access points (TAPs) and Network Packet Brokers (NPB) solutions, work together to bring network traffic visibility and asset inventory management in real-time and compliance to all OT & IoT industry regulations.
An End-to-End Data Center Monitoring Solution
Flowmon and Profitap’s joint solution offers the most efficient end-to-end monitoring platform for a high-speed data center network. Our Network TAPs deliver full visibility into the network, providing the necessary data to Flowmon’s security and monitoring tools.
Dissecting Network Traffic with Profitap & ntop
Profitap and ntop joint solution gives you the ability to capture packets that are flowing over your network lines. Our Network TAPs combined with ntop’s full line of software offer full access and visibility into your network. This way, the root cause of a network problem can be identified and solved quickly and accurately.
