Businesses continue to invest in advanced security defenses like next-generation firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (NGFW and NGIPS), data loss prevention (DLP), and other inline tools. These tools can significantly strengthen security, but may also add complexity, operational cost, and even risk.

Mitigate these and other challenges by including bypass switching intelligence as you migrate to next-gen solutions. Read the solution brief, “Ixia iBypass: Avoid 5 Common Security Risks in One Simple Step,” to learn how a bypass switching works to:

  • Prevent costly delays and surprises during inline deployments.
  • Avoid introducing single points of failure.
  • Ensure resilience and high availability.
  • Maintain devices without impacting the network.
  • Assure scalability.
