Garland Technology

Garland Technology is a hardware-based network visibility solutions provider founded in 2011 and headquartered in Buffalo, NY, with U.S. manufacturing operations in Richardson, TX. The company designs and manufactures physical network access hardware including: - Network TAPs (Test Access Points): hardware devices that capture 100% of network traffic without packet loss - Packet Brokers: aggregate, filter, and distribute traffic to monitoring and security tools - Inline Bypass TAPs: maintain network uptime by automatically bypassing failed inline security tools using heartbeat packet monitoring - Hardware Data Diodes: enforce one-way data flow for high-security environments Garland's core value proposition centers on providing complete, unaltered packet-level visibility into network traffic for use by downstream security and monitoring tools such as IDS/IPS, SIEM, DLP, and network performance monitors. The company emphasizes a hardware-first approach, contrasting with SPAN ports and software-based monitoring solutions that can drop packets under high-traffic conditions. Their solutions are vendor-agnostic and designed to integrate with existing security tool stacks via their TAP to Tool methodology. Products are sold without recurring license fees or software subscriptions. Target markets include critical infrastructure, defense, finance, and healthcare sectors. The company serves enterprise and government customers requiring reliable, lossless traffic access across on-premises, OT (operational technology), and cloud environments. Garland operates a partner program that includes integrators, MSSPs, technology partners, and solution providers.
