Stronger Security Starts with Network Visibility

How you supply network traffic to your security tools is critical. If you rely on switch or router generated NetFlow or SPAN ports, your security tools are not getting everything they need for reliable analysis. A better way to collect and send traffic to your tools is by using network TAPs together with Gigamon, which sits between your tools and the network layer.

The key benefits are:

• Full-fidelity traffic: No more sample-based data or dropped packets due to overloaded equipment
• Cloud visibility: Get visibility into every corner of your network – not just on-prem, but also all of your cloud traffic
• Container and VM visibility: Monitor VM and container traffic in private or public clouds either with cloud-based tools or by selectively backhauling traffic to you on-prem security stack

Up to 80 percent of internet traffic will be encrypted by the end of 2019.^[1] Cybercriminals use encryption to conceal malware, hide command-and-control traffic and cloak the exfiltration of stolen data. You need a way to efficiently decrypt traffic, share it with tools and then re-encrypt it.

Gigamon SSL/TLS Decryption centrally decrypts all network traffic, taking that burden off expensive security tools, and exposes hidden threats, malware and data exfiltration attempts.

To accurately detect threats and mitigate shadow IT, you need full application visibility and traffic control. Gigamon Application Intelligence gives you the power to automatically identify applications and then send the right traffic to the right tools, so you don’t waste expensive security resources. Next, Gigamon provides your security tools with valuable context around protocols and applications, helping you shorten investigative cycle times.   

• Application Filtering Intelligence sends only relevant application traffic to security tools while filtering out the rest; use existing investments to secure east-west traffic
• Application Visualization accurately identifies more than 3,000 applications using deep packet inspection so shadow IT activities and port spoofing attempts don’t pass unnoticed
  
• Application Metadata Intelligence provides more than 5,000 metadata attributes, giving your SIEM and other security tools an unfair advantage over attackers
