The Government
We Understand the Unique Challenges for Government, Military & Law Enforcement Networks
Protecting the data and networks of U.S. government agencies and military branches is tantamount to our national security. The amount and types of federal data have grown far more complex and voluminous in recent years. Now more than ever, governments and law enforcement need fast, adaptable, and scalable network monitoring solutions. APCON’s family of network monitoring solutions provides visibility, improves security, and optimizes monitoring tool efficiency for even the most strictly guarded networks.
These government entities trust APCON:
Federal agencies and other entities need to take urgent actions to implement a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, perform effective oversight, secure federal systems, and protect cyber critical infrastructure, privacy, and sensitive data…such as industrial control systems supporting the electric grid and avionics cybersecurity.

Network Monitoring and Security Solutions Agencies Can Rely On
Security
No government agency is safe from cyberattacks. A breach could take decades to fix due to the personally identifiable information (PII) such as fingerprint data and background investigation information held within the network. Agencies’ networks require the ability to detect and mitigate attacks the instant they occur.
Visibility
U.S. government agencies are consolidating datacenters to save space and use fewer resources. Although this has saved millions of dollars, these consolidations are causing data loss and government network visibility issues because of different network architectures. To capture, view, and analyze data, a dependable network monitoring solution must be deployed.
Compliance
To meet citizens’ expectations and to keep up with the digital IT ecosystem, government, military, and law enforcement agencies are looking for ways to improve transparency and engagement while complying with rules and regulations. With advanced monitoring features, agencies can customize their datacenters to meet compliance requirements and constituents' demands.
How It All Works Together
Today’s government agencies are more vulnerable than ever before. When deploying network monitoring solutions, these agencies need to feel confident their solutions deliver the right network insights while protecting and securing critical information. That’s why they trust APCON's network monitoring and security solutions to deliver the right network traffic to the appropriate tools while providing real-time insights.
Scalable Architecture
Learn MoreAPCON offers the only scalable family of network monitoring solutions for government agencies’ core and remote data centers. As these networks consolidate or grow, IT pros can easily add additional capacity to meet growth requirements without forklift upgrades.
Virtualization
Learn MoreSince government agencies are trying to reduce the cost of data center hardware, software and operations, many organizations are using a combination of virtual and physical environments. APCON’s unified physical and virtual monitoring solution provides complete network visibility using existing monitoring tools, staff and diagnostic processes.
Easy Management
Learn MoreGovernment agencies are under pressure to replace manual collection and reporting with automated monitoring. With APCON’s award-winning graphical user interface, IT pros now have a centralized location to build, save, view and recall device connections.
High Availability
Learn MoreAPCON’s solutions are designed for government networks that demand high availability and system compatibility. Standard integrated hardware features and modular switch design ensure no data is lost in the event of component failure.
Fail-Safe Reliability
Learn MoreCitizens rely on government agencies to be effective 24/7. Agencies’ networks must stay operational even when security tools fail. With APCON’s bypass solution, you will no longer have a single point of failure on your network.
Advanced Features
Learn MoreAPCON’s advanced features such as deduplication, pattern matching, packet slicing and protocol stripping ensure monitoring tools efficiency, accuracy and keeps government employees and constituents information secure.
If the federal government can respond ... by ramping up its security measures and monitoring, and by demonstrating that it has in place sufficient logging capabilities to pinpoint what was targeted and taken from its systems—then it may yet be able to demonstrate how much progress it has made on cybersecurity in the past few years.
