When you're deployed in the field responding to a cyber incident, guesswork isn't an option.

Your network detection tools, forensics platforms, and monitoring solutions all depend on one thing: complete, accurate packet-level data. Yet many cyber Fly-away Kits rely on SPAN ports or inadequate configurations that result in dropped packets and blind spots.

The consequences? Missed threats, incomplete forensics, and potentially catastrophic security gaps.

Garland Technology's Network TAPs and Packet Brokers are purpose-built to eliminate these risks. We provide guaranteed packet delivery across IT and OT networks, giving your security tools the comprehensive traffic visibility they need to function effectively.

Because in cybersecurity, you can't protect what you can't see.

Did you know Network TAPs are CALEA-approved for law enforcement data intercepts and forensics? That's because of their 100% reliability in both data capture and timestamps.

Yet many OT security teams still hesitate to implement them. Why? Misconceptions about security vulnerabilities, deployment complexity, and scalability hold organizations back from achieving true network visibility.

The reality: TAPs have no IP or MAC address to exploit. They capture intrusion attempts in real-time. And with aggregation capabilities, you can monitor multiple links with a single device—doing more with less investment.

Stop letting myths compromise your security posture. Get the facts on Network TAPs and see why they're essential for modern OT environments.

Last week's footage from Air China flight CA139 showed a lithium battery exploding mid-flight. Everyone walked away safe, but it raised an important question about our own networks.

If we wouldn't want these batteries in a carry-on bag at 30,000 feet, why would we trust them in data centers?

We just published a deep dive on why batteries don't belong in Network TAPs and what actually works for power redundancy. Spoiler: dual power planes beat batteries every time.

🛠️ Network Engineers & Security Teams: Remember when passive decryption with RSA key exchange made traffic visibility simple?

TLS 1.3 changed the game with mandatory ephemeral Diffie-Hellman. No more passive decryption. Every visibility point now needs an inline device.
The math is sobering:

10 visibility points = 10 potential failure points
Each device failure = broken TLS sessions
Result? Increased complexity and decreased reliability

But here's where it gets interesting... NIST's new project explores innovative approaches like controlled static DH keys and ephemeral key export agents.

Want to understand how these solutions could transform your visibility architecture?

OT security teams face a dilemma:
• Air gaps: Secure but impractical
• Firewalls: Practical but vulnerable
• Hardware Data Diodes: The sweet spot?

Traditional data diodes have mostly been confined to high-security facilities, but they're now gaining traction in private and OT networks.

What makes Hardware Data Diodes different from both firewalls and traditional data diodes? We break it down in our latest article: https://hubs.la/Q03h-qWq0
