RESEARCH REPORT
2026 Hybrid Cloud Security Survey
AI confidence rises faster than proof.
The Market is Changing
AI is changing the economics of cybersecurity while reshaping how organizations build, secure, and operate hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Frontier and open-weight models are expanding choice, enabling organizations to align AI models with the cost, performance, security, and data requirements of each application and workload.
As applications, agents, and automated workflows generate more data in motion, organizations need complete visibility and trusted context across distributed hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Higher-quality intelligence depends on a foundational telemetry and intelligence layer that delivers trusted network-derived telemetry to people, tools, and AI systems.
President and CEO Shane Buckley on preparing for the Intelligence Era
Deep Observability Is Key to Transformation
Deep observability transforms network traffic into trusted network-derived telemetry that improves the quality of the intelligence delivered to cloud, security, observability, and AI platforms. With richer visibility into data in motion, organizations can uncover hidden threats, improve operational performance, validate ongoing compliance, and reduce the complexity of securing and managing hybrid cloud infrastructure.

From Network Visibility to AI-Powered Deep Observability
2004 – 2018
THE FOUNDATION
Network Visibility
Founded in 2004, Gigamon helped organizations gain visibility into network traffic and improve the performance and effectiveness of security and monitoring tools. As infrastructure expanded, Gigamon established a foundation for acquiring, filtering, and delivering the right traffic to the right tools at the right time.
2019 – 2021
HYBRID CLOUD
Hybrid Cloud Visibilty
As applications and workloads moved across data centers, public clouds, virtual environments, and containers, Gigamon extended visibility across hybrid cloud infrastructure. This evolution helped organizations reduce blind spots, optimize traffic, and improve the effectiveness of existing security and observability investments.
2022 – 2023
BEYOND VISIBILITY
Deep Observability
Gigamon advanced network visibility into deep observability by transforming network traffic into trusted network-derived telemetry. Combined with metrics, events, logs, and traces, this telemetry gave organizations richer context to uncover hidden threats, resolve performance issues, and validate ongoing compliance.
2024 – Today
THE AI ERA
AI-Powered Deep Observability
As AI reshapes cybersecurity and hybrid cloud infrastructure, Gigamon is advancing AI-powered deep observability. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline delivers trusted network-derived telemetry and AI-driven insights that improve the quality of intelligence used by security and operations teams, existing tools, and AI systems.
“With Gigamon, PT KAI has gained deep observability into risk and threat telemetry, and seamlessly integrated with our security tools, enabling informed decision-making and improved compliance.”
“A huge benefit we have experienced from our Gigamon deployment is being able to provide assurance of compliance to the government and our stakeholders. We can feel confident that we are proactively reducing cyber risk by improving asset visibility and ensuring alignment with the CAF-DSPT.”
“Deep Observability is important for us because we have a large, segmented network. Gigamon allows us the ability to monitor all our traffic, including East-West, not just traffic coming in and out.”
"As organizations accelerate their cloud adoption journey, comprehensive visibility across hybrid environments is no longer optional—it's essential for maintaining robust security posture. Our collaboration with Gigamon brings together AWS's cloud security capabilities with Gigamon network-derived telemetry, helping our joint customers detect threats faster and respond more effectively through AI. This integration shows our commitment to providing customers with powerful tools that enhance their security operations while maintaining the agility and innovation that cloud enables."
