In legacy environments, monitoring was a simple affair. Today, with the proliferation of encrypted traffic (TLS/SSL), virtualization, and east-west traffic flows within data centers, the network has become opaque. Traditional monitoring tools—IDS/IPS, APMs, and SIEMs—are often blinded by the sheer volume of data or the encryption protecting it.
A standard IT network switch forwards data directly between network nodes. It is not designed to mirror, filter, or process multi-gigabit traffic for external security inspection without introducing latency or packet loss. cubro network
For CTOs and CISOs, the conversation around visibility tools often boils down to Return on Investment (ROI). Cubro presents a compelling economic argument: In legacy environments, monitoring was a simple affair
Cubro operates in a triangular competitive field: A standard IT network switch forwards data directly
At the forefront of this critical sector stands .
Cubro’s TAPs are unique because they are "fail-safe." If the TAP loses power, the fiber link continues to pass traffic (optical bypass). Their Open Gear series allows for rack-mounted, high-density fiber patching combined with TAP functionality.
By placing a Cubro NPB in front of these tools, an organization can strip away the noise and feed the tools only the data they need. This extends the lifespan of existing tools and prevents the need to purchase expensive upgrades when network bandwidth grows.
