Our project:

The NVS Access team works with a range of visibility solutions that aim to block incoming threads and eliminate potential points of failure by inspecting and controlling network traffic.

Our products range in complexity from simple taps that replicate traffic from one port to another to advanced network packet brokers that filter, aggregate, load balance and most importantly spot failures in customer network to avoid loss of traffic.  

Testing approach focuses as well on security and ease of configuration ( a number of options are available https/ssh/netconf/snmp) and high availability scenarios  - most of our products have features that enables the device to function when power is lost either by using a battery or a backup replica of the device.
