Improve Cybersecurity Posture and Meet Compliance Goals
The cybersecurity threat landscape for financial services is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Cybercriminals and state-sponsored actors—now equipped with AI—are launching increasingly sophisticated attacks, threatening even the most secure firms.
At the same time, regulatory pressures are intensifying the compliance burden. Data privacy, identity theft, fraud, and breaches are driving new global compliance standards including PCI and DORA, as well as new frameworks such as Zero Trust security. Organizations must navigate these issues along with the growing complexity of hybrid cloud infrastructure across a myriad of customer-facing apps that generate more network traffic than ever.

“Gigamon has helped us in a number of areas: advanced visibility, performance capability, and intelligent and advanced threat management. Today we are leveraging AMI capability to help us troubleshoot performance issues and safeguard our PCI environment as we move to PCI-DSS 4.0."
"I’m impressed with the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline. It’s easy to consume and self-explanatory. The documentation is also very good. It’s easy to understand for those that didn’t install it. The fact that it’s taking something fairly complicated and simplifying it is pretty impressive."
"The ease of use and customizable features provide lots of flexibility and allows us levels of visibility into our multi-cloud environment we have never seen before."
"To be able to extend our span sessions, reduce overall traffic in the network, and stream to our security tools helps maintain our network health. In a way, we avoid more CapEx by not acquiring more tools."
Frequently Asked Questions
As financial services organizations migrate workloads and sensitive customer data to the hybrid cloud, protecting these assets from cybersecurity threats and attacks is critical to success. Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) is a security approach that focuses on safeguarding the individual components and communications of cloud-based applications and services, ensuring their confidentiality, integrity, and availability, especially in dynamic cloud environments. CWP helps organizations address these challenges by providing a dedicated layer of security for cloud workloads, going beyond traditional endpoint and network security.
Financial services firms face a wide range of cybersecurity threats, including phishing and social engineering attacks, ransomware, data breaches, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, insider threats, and third-party risks. These threats exploit vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and human behavior to steal sensitive data, disrupt operations, and cause financial and reputational damage.
Zero Trust is important for banks and all other financial institutions because it provides a robust defense against escalating cyber threats, strengthens data protection, and enhances compliance with evolving regulations. By implementing Zero Trust principles, these institutions can minimize the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, ensuring the security of sensitive financial data and maintaining customer trust.
Gigamon supports financial institutions in achieving compliance goals by providing complete visibility into all data in motion, enabling them to maintain regulatory compliance and defend against cyber threats. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline helps organizations prepare for compliance audits or other reporting by ensuring that all data on the network remains compliant at all times. This enables banks, other financial services firms, and any company processing credit card payments to meet compliance standards such as PCI DSS 4.0 and those related to digital operational resilience (DORA).
Deep observability means gaining comprehensive, real-time visibility into all aspects of a financial institution’s hybrid cloud IT infrastructure from the application to the network level. As its name suggests, deep observability provides a deep understanding of all network activity that helps organizations proactively identify and troubleshoot application performance issues; enhance their overall security posture; detect cybersecurity threats more quickly; and ensure regulatory compliance.
