A Bypass Switch, also known as a Bypass Tap, is a small and robust device that ensures in-line security devices, such as Intrusion Prevention Systems and Malware Sandboxes do not cause network downtime if they fail or are taken offline for configuration updates and troubleshooting.
If a security device fails or needs to be taken offline, the Bypass Switch ensures continuity by instantly re-routing the traffic to a pre-defiend alternative path.
Bypass Switches also monitor the health of security layers by sending and receiving heartbeat packets and taking instant appropriate action in the event of degradation of security device performance.
We supply Bypass Switch solutions from world-leading manufacturers and can recommend and install a suitable option based on your unique challenges.
