What Gigamon Brings to Observability

A practical guide to generating insights from network traffic for operations and security  

In today’s hybrid and multi-cloud world how do organizations keep up with the volume and complexity of the data being generated and leverage it to deliver business outcomes? AIOps can help, but it’s thirsty for high-quality, complete data. Much of the telemetry is there, but it’s often siloed and diverse, cluttered with irrelevant information, and lacks critical context for security and performance use cases. How can you cut through the noise and feed your AIOps engine only the necessary data it needs to make smart, quick decisions?    

In this webinar, Carlos Casanova, Principal Analyst, Forrester, and Bassam Khan, Vice President of Product and Technical Marketing Engineering, Gigamon, will discuss how organizations can strengthen their AIOps efforts by leveraging network communications, the one normalized telemetry across any hybrid-cloud infrastructure. They will illustrate ways to deliver insights derived from network traffic for enhancing security, improving application performance, faster troubleshooting, and optimizing AIOps costs.

Maximize Existing Security Tools - Address Palo Alto CVE-2024-3400

Use of encryption for network traffic continues to rise, for both good and bad. Today over 85% of malware relies on encryption to hide in plain sight. The need to decrypt and inspect traffic is easy to see and is recommended by The NSA. Deploying actual decryption in a cost-effective and scalable way while meeting privacy and compliance requirements might not have been easy. However, it doesn’t need to be difficult or expensive. 

Gigamon TLS/SSL Decryption offers a centralized, high-performance solution that improves existing security tools by decrypting traffic once and inspecting it many times. Decrypting traffic exiting the network enables command and control detection, preventing data exfiltration and strengthening the company’s compliance stance. By being able to selectively choose what traffic to decrypt and what not to, it becomes possible to engage the right tools to enhance the security posture effectively.  

This webinar is designed to equip security and network architects with knowledge of current decryption trends, known challenges, and recommended solutions by demonstrating real-world use cases.
