Firewall or Inline Security Upgrade
Minimize downtime during security upgrades with a Keysight bypass switch
Cut Deployment Times for Any Firewall Upgrades
Maintenance windows are precious. When it comes time to upgrade your firewall appliance or add another inline security tool, Keysight can help you minimize the time spent configuring a resilient path for those upgrades. Installing an Keysight external bypass switch takes only about 4 minutes since it is already preconfigured for major security vendors.
Using the bypass switch in tap mode, traffic can still flow in your live network while also being replicated to the IPS or other inline security tool. Once your IPS is configured, tested, and ready for deployment, it can be easily placed inline with no further network disruption. A typical IPS install can take anywhere from 2–4 hours. The benefit to network downtime from using an external bypass becomes significant when you have dozens of IPS upgrades.
Deploy IPS With Minimal Business Disruption
Keysight provides a fail-safe security architecture for customers migrating to inline security appliances. Keysight external bypass switches safeguard security tools deployed inline with automated failover protection, to prevent temporary tool disruptions from escalating into costly network outages.
And when you want total resiliency, only Keysight supports active-active high availability configurations that ensure continuous traffic inspection and near-instant recovery.
