Cubro Bypass Switches provide a fail-safe access port for an in-line active security appliance such as an intrusion prevention system (IPS), next generation firewall (NGFW), etc. Cubro Bypass Switches are deployed between network devices and in front of security tools, providing a reliable separation point between the network and security layers. They lead to comprehensive support of network and security tools without the risk of network interruptions. Bypass Switches enable multiple security tools to process traffic from a single network link.
