Stronger Security Starts with Network Visibility
Fix the gap in your security architecture.
Fact: You Can’t Protect What You Can’t See
You’ve carefully planned your network security architecture and purchased the latest, most advanced security tools. But that’s not enough.
- Up to 50 percent of traffic never reaches your security tools because of dropped packets or blind spots
- Malware can hide inside encrypted SSL/TLS traffic
- Attackers now use port spoofing to elude perimeter detection
An effective security posture based on zero trust principals requires seeing all traffic across your network — not just a portion. You also need to know what the threats are, and how best to respond. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline makes it easy by giving you one platform for deep and pervasive visibility across your entire network.
Reliable Visibility to Detect Threats Faster
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
SSL/TLS Decryption Is Needed…Now
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.
If You’re Not Seeing Apps, You’re Not Seeing Threats
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

“We used Gigamon to support the G20 Summit's cybersecurity. The equipment helped the related parties share monitoring of the system and security without reducing the service level.”
“Before Gigamon, we had out-of-band SSL decryption everywhere, and we were decrypting about 65 percent of traffic on average. Now, with the GigaSMART SSL decryption engine, we typically get well over 90 percent visibility in the encrypted traffic.”
“With Gigamon we are able to gain visibility into our environment through a single pane of glass. This is crucial given we can’t protect what we can’t see.”
The GigaVUE® V Series allows us to see East-West traffic — not just traffic coming in and out of the organization. Now we see traffic within the organization.”
