Zero Trust offers a powerful framework for reducing risk and improving resilience, yet it remains widely misunderstood. Many organizations believe they're implementing Zero Trust while deploying fragmented solutions or single policies without a cohesive strategy or measurable outcomes. Results inevitably fall short of expectations, creating confusion, skepticism, and stalled progress in critical areas like micro-segmentation and continuous monitoring. 

Gigamon's Public Sector Field CTO and Security CTO will discuss overcoming these challenges by aligning ZT strategies with the network using real-world examples. ZTA deployments within the US Federal government present ideal use cases because of strong policy mandates, mission-critical security requirements, and a robust partner ecosystem.

The Case for Zero Trust: Proper Security by Any Name

As mandates like DOGE and FAR 2.0, spending reforms, and AI reshape the public sector, agencies must sharpen visibility, improve efficiency, and reduce risk to do more with less.

Ask AI and Next-Gen Documentation, Crack the Case

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

Imagine the possibilities when service providers can easily access valuable insight about their mobile subscriber base. Information such as what devices and OTT applications subscribers are using as well as when and where they use the mobile network. Marketing, advertising, infrastructure planning, customer service, and product development can all benefit from better subscriber insight, but traditional approaches to collect this data have been costly and complex. In this session, we will cover the latest Gigamon solution innovation that cost-effectively delivers enriched mobile subscriber metadata directly to data lakes and analytics engines, enabling service providers to realize the full potential of subscriber data.

Learn What’s Possible with Enriched Mobile Subscriber Analytics

GigaVUE-OS and GigaVUE-FM offer a rich set of features and capabilities - so many that users can be overwhelmed. In this session, we’ll highlight five high-value features that you may not know about but that could dramatically improve the return on your investment, optimize your workflows, make your tools more efficient, and help keep your networks healthy and secure.

Five Capabilities of GigaVUE-OS and GigaVUE-FM You May Not Know

It’s not a matter of “if” but “when” organizations are breached. That’s the premise that Federal agencies operate under and it’s one that would be prudent to follow. With an Assumption of Compromise, it’s assumed that threat actors are currently living off the land (LTOL) using applications and protocols already available in workloads. Why LTOL and similar attacks can go unnoticed is because of a critical gap in traditional logging that is often overlooked. Learn why relying on logs from a firewall or router as the single source of truth is not enough. In this session, we will take a broad look at logging from the perspective of government threat hunting, and how it can be greatly enhanced with network-derived intelligence to make it far more resilient and harder for bad actors to defeat.

The “Assumption of Compromise”: Government Agency Best Practices

Not knowing whether a performance bottleneck is caused by the network or the application itself often leads to a “blame game” among application, network, and cloud teams. This finger pointing can delay resolution and also stifle collaboration. Join us to learn how Gigamon can help you to more quickly and precisely pinpoint the root cause of performance bottlenecks and finally end the “blame game”.

End the “Blame Games” with High-Precision App Troubleshooting

DevOps must deliver business agility and high application performance together with strong application security. How can security and infrastructure teams work with DevOps to ensure network intelligence-derived security is incorporated directly into the software development process – without compromising speed or quality? In this session we will walk you through a free-to-try, self-contained AWS-based Gigamon tool that demonstrates how network-derived intelligence can help application owners identify and prevent misconfigurations, compliance violations, and vulnerabilities.

“Wow” Your App Owners with Application Insights Derived from Deep Packet Inspection

Every security organization owns a suite of solutions composed of tools covering endpoints, applications, cloud, and network hardware.  While these tools deliver the functionality promised, threats are still getting through – so we know more work needs to be done. Folks, it’s 2024 and we still don’t know what’s running on our network!  Join us as we walk through: how you can identify critical gaps in your organization’s security posture, the components of a “modern” security posture and finally, how to use network-derived intelligence and telemetry to consolidate tool functions across multiple areas (cloud, observability, security, network) into a single cohesive and proactive security posture.

What Today’s Security Stack Can... and Can’t Do

From an operational perspective, using an agentless solution such as mirroring for virtual traffic access seems ideal. Nothing to install, easier to manage, less expensive etc. In fact, the opposite is true. Agent-based traffic access solutions are easier to configure, yield higher performance, and usually cost less than their agentless counterparts.  In this session, we’ll expose the myths and misconceptions about using an agent for traffic access. We’ll also discuss why agents for traffic access are different than traditional tool agents and explain why they might be the best option for your network.

To Tap or Not to Tap and When is an Agent Not an Agent

Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP are modern marvels with immense scalability and flexibility. These benefits can also come with sticker shock when your cloud environment is not optimized.  For example, complex tapping and mirroring architectures often lead to unnecessarily high billing costs, especially for packet-based security tools like Cloud Network Detection & Response. In this session, we’ll examine alternative designs and solutions to the default monitoring options from public cloud platforms that can save you a bundle in infrastructure costs.

How to Slash Cloud Monitoring Costs

According to the 2024 Gigamon Hybrid Cloud Security Report, fewer than half of over 1,000 global IT and security leaders surveyed claim to have lateral East-West visibility across their hybrid cloud infrastructure, which includes container-to-container communications. Threat actors know this and are actively exploiting this oversight, as evidenced by recent high-profile attacks which employed lateral movement to evade detection. In this session, we will cover how you can gain simple and scalable deep observability into container environments, at both packet and metadata levels.  You’ll also learn best practices based on recent customer deployment use cases on how to acquire traffic from any container along with accessing and aggregating container traffic from multiple cloud platforms.

Deep Observability for Kubernetes Lateral Traffic

Meeting compliance standards for data privacy and security is mission critical. Whether you’re in healthcare, retail, financial services, or in the public sector, data privacy regulations require that all data-in-motion and data-at-rest for cloud applications adhere to strict security standards. However, ensuring compliance for applications running on public clouds has proven extremely challenging... until now.  In this session, we will discuss and demonstrate how organizations apply Gigamon Application Metadata Intelligence to meet and maintain regulatory compliance.

Closing the Data-in-Motion Compliance Gap

Even with encryption, ransomware and other threats can find their way into your environment. While encryption is foundational for security and privacy, adversaries can take advantage of encrypted channels to hide activities within virtual workloads and to traverse laterally across the hybrid cloud infrastructure. Gigamon Precryption™ technology is the gamechanger that gives SecOps teams plaintext visibility into encrypted traffic and lateral movements – without the complexity or overhead of traditional decryption.  This session will go through how Precryption technology reveals hidden threats plus the latest enhancements to this innovative technology.
