06 / MODERNIZATION
Adapt as services evolve
Connect traffic from monitored hospitals, clinics, data centers, and virtual environments to the tools that support your evolving care infrastructure.
TLS decryption
Encryption protects communications. Visibility supports secure operations.
TLS encryption protects enterprise and remote-service communications, but it can also conceal malicious activity from inspection tools. Niagara Networks makes selected, authorized TLS traffic available to designated security and analysis tools.
Combine TLS decryption with selective filtering and data masking to investigate threats while limiting sensitive information in monitoring feeds. Validate supported sessions, deployment mode, and operational constraints for each traffic path.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to commonly asked questions about our solutions, services, and architecture.
Why is network visibility important for energy organizations?
Energy operations depend on reliable connectivity across operational systems, enterprise applications, remote sites, and cloud services. Network visibility gives security and operations teams the packet data needed to investigate disruptions, understand network behavior, and analyze potential threats across monitored environments.
How does Niagara Networks support visibility across IT and OT networks?
Niagara Networks TAPs and packet brokers collect and distribute relevant traffic from monitored IT and OT links to security, forensic, and network performance tools. This helps teams investigate issues across enterprise and operational networks, with the visibility design matched to each site’s requirements.
Can energy organizations inspect encrypted traffic while limiting sensitive information exposure?
Yes. Niagara Networks enables authorized inspection of selected, supported TLS sessions. Traffic filtering and data masking help limit sensitive operational and business information delivered to monitoring tools. Supported sessions, deployment mode, and operational constraints should be validated for each traffic path.
How can energy organizations manage growing monitoring traffic from distributed sites?
Packetron and ePacketron optimize monitoring feeds through deduplication, application filtering, and data masking. These capabilities help reduce unnecessary processing and preserve tool capacity as traffic grows across remote sites, facilities, and enterprise services.
How does Niagara Networks support availability around inline security tools?
Niagara Networks’ inline bypass solutions support traffic handling during security tool maintenance and failure events. Bypass behavior is matched to operational requirements, helping organizations plan for continuity across their energy infrastructure.
