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 information. Visibility supports secure services and learning.
TLS encryption protects community and education 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 and deployment requirements against your inspection policies.
-

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to commonly asked questions about our solutions, services, and architecture.
Why is network visibility important for state and local government and education?
Public portals, learning platforms, and administrative applications depend on reliable connectivity. Network visibility gives security and operations teams the packet data needed to investigate slowdowns, service disruptions, and threats that could affect community services and learning.
How does Niagara Networks improve monitoring across distributed offices, schools, and campuses?
Niagara Networks TAPs and packet brokers collect and distribute relevant traffic from monitored government, school, and campus links to security, forensic, and network performance tools. This helps teams investigate issues across distributed sites, with the visibility architecture matched to their applications and monitoring requirements.
Can organizations inspect encrypted traffic while limiting exposure of resident and student information?
Yes. Niagara Networks enables authorized inspection of selected, supported TLS sessions. Traffic filtering and data masking help limit resident, student, and staff information exposed in monitoring feeds. Inspection is scoped to approved communications and aligned with organizational security policies and information handling requirements.
How can government and education organizations make better use of existing monitoring tools?
Packetron and ePacketron optimize monitoring feeds through deduplication, application filtering, and data masking. These capabilities reduce unnecessary processing and help preserve analysis capacity as shared services, digital learning, and campus applications generate more traffic.
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 can be matched to public service and campus requirements, helping organizations plan for service and learning continuity.
