Niagara Network's Open Visibility Platform enables carrier-grade agile security deployment with hyper-converged packet brokering for pervasive network visibility. Serving as an open deployment hub, the Open Visibility Platform hosts security solutions directly on the Network Packet Broker appliance and provides it with the appropriate, pre-processed, and decrypted network traffic to deliver comprehensive content visibility and control to SecOps. The Open Visibility Platform brings new value to channel partners in deploying security solutions faster and easier with less threat of internal roadblocks.

"We are honored to present Niagara Networks with a 2020 Visionary Spotlight Award for Cybersecurity," said Beka Business Media president and CEO Berge Kaprelian. "Niagara Networks was recognized for its unique Open Visibility Platform. Congratulations to the entire team at Niagara Networks."

"We are pleased to be honored with this distinctive award which recognizes the significant breakthrough of the Open Visibility Platform as a game-changer for anew agile security paradigm," said Ben Askarinam, founder and chief executive officer, Niagara Networks. "The Open Visibility Platform brings much needed agility to enable organizations to deploy new cutting edge technologies to keep pace with mounting security threats and the latest cybercriminal techniques."

With the Open Visibility Platform, channel partners, can quickly and easily deploy any solution, without limitations, using the Niagara Networks appliance as an open deployment hub that vouchsafes the reliability, availability and performance of the network while accommodating nearly an unlimited number of solutions.

The Open Visibility Platform is:

A new platform to bring NetOps and SecOps teams together with new levels of efficiency. The platform becomes a shared traffic visibility environment to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of both organizations.
A breakthrough in its ability to host any NetOps or SecOps solution, even proprietary, "black box" or on-demand solutions, and is not limited by an approved vendor list. Now, organizations have the freedom to choose, and not be tied to offerings of a particular vendor.
Provides exactly the right traffic to each solution and can process the traffic in the way needed, such as with TLS decryption, de-duplication, data masking, meta data and IPFIX extraction, and more, offloading the requirement and performance drain for each solution to do it individually.
Designed and manufactured in the US, free from even the possibility of nation-state mandated compromise.
