Ask almost any CISO about their biggest challenges, and managing compliance consistently ranks near the top. The complexity of navigating multiple frameworks, coupled with the high stakes of non-compliance, makes this area particularly intimidating for security leaders. The reality is that achieving and maintaining compliance can be made significantly easier with network telemetry. 

We'll explore several industry and cybersecurity compliance frameworks—examining why they exist, what they require, and who they impact—before demonstrating how network telemetry addresses specific controls more effectively. Through practical examples, attendees will see how leveraging network metadata can simplify compliance processes, improve audit readiness, and deliver faster, more reliable outcomes for critical security requirements.

Decoding the Compliance Puzzle: DORA, HIPAA, NIS2, PCI and Beyond

Guilty until proven innocent—that's where NetOps lands every time an application slows down, followed by hours of investigation to prove that it wasn’t the network. What if Application and Security teams could access the same network insights as NetOps, but within their own SIEM and observability tools?   

End the blame game once and for all by empowering cross-functional teams with shared network intelligence. Shift from reactive firefighting to proactive performance assurance with complete visibility into lateral traffic, including container-to-container and IoT/OT. We’ll show how network telemetry identifies anomalies including port spoofing and unsanctioned AI usage. Teams also have the “evidence” needed for fast and accurate root cause analysis. Turn the network from the leading suspect to your best detective.

Is it Always the Network's Fault? What the Evidence Reveals

Network visibility is essential for maintaining performance, ensuring compliance, and strengthening security across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. In this keynote, EMA analyst Chris Steffen will share key findings from the 2024 EMA Network Visibility Radar Report. Attendees will gain insights into the core capabilities that define a strong visibility solution, the growing importance of deep observability, and the vendors leading innovation in the space. With practical guidance on solution selection and a comprehensive view of the current market, this session will help organizations make informed decisions that align with their strategic IT and security goals.

Navigating the Network Visibility Landscape

Remote offices present critical visibility gaps for security monitoring. Distributed locations typically lack dedicated security infrastructure and operate over bandwidth-limited connections, creating blind spots and complicating threat detection. 

Gigamon V Series addresses visibility challenges across distributed networks. Through lightweight deployment on remote office servers, V Series captures detailed metadata from lateral traffic, without heavy infrastructure or bandwidth requirements, and then sends this metadata to centralized security and analytics platforms. This session explores remote office security and demonstrates how V Series delivers comprehensive lateral traffic visibility where needed most. Attendees will gain practical insights into deployment strategies and see a live demo showcasing the depth of visibility achievable with this approach.

Securing Cloud Workloads with On-Prem Tools
