• Achieve 100 percent link-layer network visibility across LAN, WAN and cloud boundaries
• Gain visibility into SSL traffic, one of the greatest points of vulnerability for network security
• Add or remove in-line network security and performance acceleration tools with minimal change control and without network service downtime
• Avoid oversubscribing or underutilizing network security and monitoring tools
