Gigamon offers a deep observability pipeline that harnesses actionable network-level intelligence to amplify the power of observability tools. This powerful combination enables IT organizations to assure security and compliance governance, speed root-cause analysis of performance bottlenecks, and lower operational overhead associated with managing hybrid and multi-cloud IT infrastructures.

Unlocking Speed, Precision, and Efficiency in NDR 

NDR is a critical component in most organizations’ cybersecurity tool stack, and ExtraHop is one of the leaders in the NDR market. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline increases the speed and precision of ExtraHop’s threat detection by ensuring it has access to all network traffic regardless of whether this is data center or cloud traffic. Join WWT, ExtraHop and Gigamon experts as they discuss how ExtraHop and Gigamon combine to provide: 

- The fastest, most precise, and efficient network threat detection 
- Access to lateral, encrypted and container traffic to eliminate blind spots  
- Massively reduced cloud traffic access costs

Maximizing Network Threat Detection: Enhancing Security

As organizations migrate to the cloud, they face a new wave of cybersecurity challenges. Today’s security measures frequently fall short in detecting and responding to threats that move laterally across virtual infrastructure, often using encryption to hide. In this webinar, we will cover how a single cybersecurity program built on network visibility across hybrid cloud environments can lead to effective threat management against today’s attacks. 

 

Join us as we discuss: 

 

- Ransomware attack techniques, focusing on virtual lateral traversal 

- Deep packet inspection’s role in identifying and mitigating network threats 

- Illuminating blind spots in your hybrid cloud environments to reduce risk posed by lateral movement offensive techniques  

- Incident response strategies for rapid containment and remediation of network threats 

- Best practices for integrating threat management into your hybrid cloud security architecture 

 

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the latest threats using network traffic as an attack vector and walk away with actionable insights to improve their organization's hybrid cloud security posture from comprehensive network visibility.

The need to inspect encrypted traffic is critical given the prevalence of encrypted malware lurking in our midst. But with over 90 percent of enterprise data being encrypted, managing this traffic and determining when and where to decrypt it remains a significant challenge for many organizations. Gigamon provides a range of decryption solutions and in this session, we’ll explore the pros and cons of the most common deployment scenarios and help you to learn how to decide which model is most efficient and effective for your organization.

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.

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.

Building defenses, protecting our walls and guarding the castle. They all sounded a lot easier when the castle walls were solid, clear and defined. These days, it can feel a bit more like you are jousting in fog to protect borders you can’t see or define. Not only are bad actors evolving, but the cloud environments you are asked to protect and secure are rapidly multiplying and becoming more complex. It is time to get out of the fog and stop jousting with air!

Protecting and Securing Cloud Environments

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.

Optimizing Your Data Center

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.
