Spotlight · IOTA

TAP, capture and analytics in one box.

IOTA is a line of 1U/2U devices: a passive TAP, lossless capture and built-in Wireshark-grade dashboards. Suitable for branches that don’t have their own SIEM.

  • Inline or TAP mode, switched with a jumper
  • 2-24 TB storage, weeks of retention
  • Web UI with TCP metrics, top talkers and application breakdown
  • Export to Splunk, Elastic or Wireshark on demand
  • API for SOAR integration

Use cases

Where you need Profitap.

Compliance-recorder

A hardware TAP + LiveWire/Gigamon: full-pcap retention for central bank, government and PCI DSS requirements.

A source for NDR

A lossless TAP is a must for ThreatEye, Vectra, Darktrace or any packet-based NDR.

Troubleshooting in the field

ProfiShark in the engineer’s pocket: go to the branch, plug it in, open Wireshark and diagnose in minutes.

Replacing SPAN where it fails

SPAN overloads the switch CPU and drops packets. The Booster series moves mirroring into hardware.

Data center TAP fabric

XX-Series 100GbE TAPs and C-Series aggregators feed one packet broker, so you can see traffic in any segment.

IOTA in branches

Small branches without their own SIEM get IOTA’s built-in analytics, plus pcap on demand as a backup.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Profitap.

Why do you need a hardware TAP if you have a SPAN port?
A SPAN port is a “copy by rule”, limited by the switch’s processor. Under load, SPAN drops packets, duplicates them and adds latency. A hardware TAP passively copies all traffic at the physical layer. It loses no packets and does not affect the live network. Compliance recorders and NDR systems rely on it.
What is Profitap IOTA?
IOTA is a line of all-in-one devices: TAP + capture + built-in analytics. It records traffic to its own storage and shows dashboards by application, IP conversation and TCP performance. 1G, 10G and 25G models are available. It works well for NetOps as a two-in-one device.
What is ProfiShark?
ProfiShark is a portable USB 3.0 TAP the size of a thumb drive. You connect it to a laptop to troubleshoot in the field. It comes in 1G, 2.5G and 10G versions, runs on USB power and works with Wireshark. A key tool for network forensics engineers.
Does Profitap support fail-safe mode?
Yes. All Profitap TAPs are passive: if power is lost, the network link stays up (bypass). This guarantees that installing a TAP won’t create a single point of failure in the production network.
Can Profitap be used for SSL decryption?
No. Profitap copies traffic passively, as is. SSL decryption is handled by a separate packet broker (Gigamon, Cubro) or an active SSL decryption module. Profitap works well with any of them.
