TAPs are an innovative solution to an increasing and recurrent problem within organizations which is the need of connecting multiple monitoring tools to common points on the network.

This solution eliminates overloading switches while doing SPAN or Mirror ports and gives the ability to have multiple tools doing simultaneous analysis on a common network point.

Companies can have a passive and permanent point of access to traffic that must be analyzed by several technologies like:

• Intrusion Prevention Systems

• Sniffers

• Web Filtering Tools

• Anti-SPAM Systems

• Data Protection Systems
