“Before Gigamon, we had all out-of-band SSL decryption, and we decrypted something like 65 percent of traffic on average. Now, with the GigaSMART SSL decryption engine, we normally get well over 90 percent visibility into encrypted traffic.”

Challenges
- Kwizda's main web interface is where customer pharma orders are placed and processed via XML so it needs to always be available and responsive -- and secure.
Solution
- Gigamon Security Delivery Platform with:
- Gigamon Inline Bypass module
- GigaSMART® traffic intelligence application for inline and out of band SSL decryption
- GigaVUE-FM
- GigaVUE Cloud Suite for VMware
Benefits
- Gained ability to decrypt traffic encrypted with Diffie-Hellman, and perfect-forward secrecy
- Maintained the ability to monitor network activity while meeting regulatory needs to encrypt east-west traffic between SAP servers within a VMware cluster
- Ensured availability of medicine ordering application by leveraging inline bypass module
- Achieved unified management across the physical, virtual and VMware infrastructure using GigaVUE-FM
