Niagara Networks Solutions for the Public Sector

Niagara Networks helps organizations build a complete visibility layer that captures traffic from critical links, conditions traffic for downstream tools, decrypts traffic where policy allows, prevents oversubscription, and scales with the network. This supports SOC, NOC, forensic, compliance, and performance monitoring workflows by ensuring tools receive reliable and relevant traffic.

Niagara enables data center visibility across high-speed links, spine-leaf fabrics, virtual workloads, east-west traffic, encrypted sessions, and hybrid cloud paths. The solution combines TAPs, packet brokers, packet intelligence, SSL/TLS decryption, inline bypass protection, virtual visibility, and centralized orchestration to deliver optimized traffic to security, monitoring, forensic, compliance, and performance tools.

Niagara Networks provides the visibility layer behind modern security operations by delivering reliable packet access, traffic conditioning, inline failover protection, SSL/TLS decryption, and centralized control across physical, virtual, and hybrid environments. This helps ensure the right traffic reaches the right security tool in the right format without creating new points of failure.

Niagara’s visibility architecture supports faster troubleshooting and improved network performance monitoring by giving NetOps teams access to clean, complete, and optimized traffic. This helps teams diagnose congestion, packet loss, latency, application issues, and infrastructure behavior with less operational complexity.

Niagara Network Intelligence Applications extend visibility beyond basic packet forwarding into advanced L4-L7 traffic processing. Capabilities include packet slicing, deduplication, NetFlow/IPFIX generation, data masking, application filtering, TLS decryption, tunnel support, GTP correlation, header stripping, and regex filtering. These functions help reduce tool load, improve SOC/NOC workflows, and enable deeper application-aware visibility.

Niagara packet brokers and bypass platforms help organizations scale monitoring and security architectures by balancing traffic across multiple tools, matching high-speed network links to lower-speed appliances, and extending the life of existing infrastructure. This is especially valuable when migrating from 10G to 40G, 100G, or multi-100G environments.

Niagara provides trusted, USA-made visibility infrastructure for public sector, defense, energy, healthcare, and other mission-critical environments. The solutions are designed for high availability, cyber resilience, performance, and flexible deployment in complex networks.

Niagara supports healthcare organizations that need packet-level visibility while maintaining flexibility for new security tools and expanding analytical coverage. Niagara helps healthcare teams improve SOC traffic delivery, protect sensitive workflows, and support visibility across distributed clinical and data center environments.

Niagara Network TAPs provide reliable packet-level access to production traffic across copper, fiber, passive, active, optical, and bypass deployments. They enable organizations to capture traffic from critical network links without relying only on SPAN or switch mirroring. Niagara TAPs are ideal for security monitoring, packet capture, compliance, forensics, and performance analysis.

Niagara Advanced Network Packet Brokers aggregate, filter, replicate, optimize, and load balance traffic from multiple network sources to multiple security and monitoring tools. They help SOC and NOC teams reduce tool overload, eliminate irrelevant traffic, and deliver the right packets to the right tools. Niagara packet brokers support high-performance 10G, 25G, 40G, and 100G deployments with carrier-grade reliability.

Niagara inline hybrid bypass switches protect inline security tools such as firewalls, IPS, WAF, DDoS appliances, SSL inspection tools, and threat prevention platforms. They help maintain network availability during tool failure, maintenance, software upgrades, or power loss. Niagara bypass solutions support fail-safe inline security architectures for mission-critical networks.

The Niagara ePacketron platform transforms the visibility layer into a high-performance packet intelligence engine. It offloads advanced Layer 4-7 processing from downstream security and monitoring tools, including deduplication, packet slicing, flow slicing, application filtering, header stripping, regex filtering, NetFlow/IPFIX generation, TLS decryption, data masking, mobile visibility, protocol reporting, and packet capture.

Niagara TLS decryption enables approved encrypted traffic inspection by decrypting traffic once and distributing relevant decrypted flows to multiple cybersecurity and monitoring platforms. This reduces the decryption burden on individual tools while improving visibility into encrypted threats and application behavior.

Niagara cloud and virtual visibility solutions extend traffic access and packet brokering into virtualized, private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid environments. They help reduce blind spots in east-west traffic and provide consistent visibility across physical and virtual infrastructure.

Niagara Visibility Controller provides centralized control and provisioning of Niagara visibility infrastructure. It allows teams to manage TAPs, packet brokers, bypass switches, and traffic policies from a unified interface, helping simplify large-scale SOC, NOC, service provider, and government deployments.
