Traffic Access

Profitap Academy

Network analysis starts with getting actionable data in a reliable and secure way. There are two common methods for gaining access to the network: test access points (TAPs) and switch port analyzer (SPAN). Deploying network TAPs is the key method for accessing network traffic. Network TAPs are more reliable and offer significant advantages over the use of SPAN ports to monitor the network, such as providing secure access to packets of all sizes and types by creating an exact copy of all traffic flowing across the network without impacting the network performance.

Explore our training videos, white papers, and use cases and learn how you can get complete access and visibility into your network with Profitap Network TAPs!

    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.
