Businesses need high-performing and secure networks to support day-to-day operations and foster growth. A healthy cybersecurity posture and optimal user experience on the network depend on the ability to analyze the right traffic insights from the right sources. Profitap’s network observability solutions are the backbone of modern-day network troubleshooting and cybersecurity measures.
Profitap offers a broad range of in-house-developed tools that can be tailored to client requirements. This all-in-one approach simplifies the process for companies to implement or upgrade network analysis solutions, allowing them to deploy a complete solution with fail-safe data access, traffic optimization, and traffic capture and analysis capabilities.
Profitap Observability Platform
The IOTA platform has been developed as an all-in-one network visibility solution for easily analyzing captured traffic onsite and remotely. IOTA helps you capture an accurate copy of the network traffic, which can be used to analyze and identify bottlenecks, latency issues, and protocol behavior. Without the help of network monitoring tools, finding the root cause of a network issue can feel like finding a needle in a haystack.
Especially when it comes to timing analysis, the ability to analyze a trace file with accurately captured packet timing is a valuable vantage point on which to base your analysis.
Real-time detection |
Baseline traffic analysis |
| Profitap’s network security solutions offer real-time monitoring capabilities, allowing businesses to identify any unwanted activity or anomalies on their networks promptly. | Our solutions provide advanced traffic analysis tools that help establish baseline traffic patterns, making it easier to detect unusual or suspicious activities. Learn how to baseline your network on the Profitap Knowledge Base. |
The IOTA dashboards allow you to monitor real-time and historical network traffic. They let you quickly identify the root cause of performance issues, such as high latency or bandwidth congestion, gain insights into network behavior, identify performance bottlenecks, and troubleshoot efficiently.
With IOTA's advanced analysis capabilities, you can pinpoint specific protocols or applications causing problems and take immediate action to resolve them. We provide full visibility into 3000+ applications and protocols (DNS, HTTP, SSH, Office 365, DNS, VoIP, TCP, WhatsApp, Netflix, etc.).
Forensic analysis |
Lawful interception |
| With detailed packet-level data capturing, our network security solutions enable businesses to conduct forensic analysis and quickly identify the root cause of any security incidents. | Profitap’s network TAPs are recognized in court as reliable data sources. Using TAPs enables organizations to comply with legal requirements and gather reliable insights from the network. |

In this layer, we manage the traffic coming from capture points in the network that need to be monitored. This is done with purpose-built tools called Network Packet Brokers (NPBs). NPBs filter and process traffic before it is forwarded to the appropriate tools, effectively reducing the volume of data these tools need to process. This processing can include stripping out redundant data, deduplication, slicing packets to remove unnecessary payload, and intelligently directing traffic based on the data's relevance to security or performance needs.
Reduced data load: By filtering and sending only actionable data to monitoring tools, NPBs reduce the bandwidth these tools need to process.
Cost savings: Lower bandwidth consumption on monitoring tools translates to lower costs, as these tools' pricing often scales with bandwidth. This is especially true when implementing them, as we discussed in our Cost-effectiveness of Network Packet Brokers blog article.
Improved performance: With less data to process, monitoring tools can perform more efficiently, potentially providing faster insights.

TAPs are hardware devices strategically placed at key locations within the network infrastructure, such as routers, switches, or firewalls, where data access is necessary for monitoring or troubleshooting purposes. To leave no stone unturned, in virtual environments, a virtual TAP, or vTAP, can be installed on virtualized servers, providing comprehensive access and visibility into the east-west traffic flows.
Our Secure TAP range helps meet cybersecurity requirements such as the ANSSI’s CSPN guidelines (also recognized by the BSI), ensuring that new traffic access hardware is secure and reliable.
⦿ Achieve full access and visibility across your physical and virtual networks.
⦿ Obtain fail-safe, permanent in-line network access to live traffic in high-speed networks.
⦿ Protect the network link availability for in-line security tools.
⦿ Eliminate the risk of single points of failure in accessing the network traffic.
⦿ Deliver lossless traffic aggregation from multiple in-line links or out-of-band connections.
The Profitap network observability platform allows businesses to source all network monitoring tools from a single vendor, ensuring integration, performance, and simple communications. This makes Profitap the go-to solution provider for modern network management, cybersecurity, and performance diagnostics.
Our integrated approach, encompassing all facets of network analysis, from traffic capture and analysis to data flow management and traffic access, lays the groundwork for efficient and secure network operation.
