• Network Operations: configure, direct and control traffic in the network to the relevant monitoring and analysis tools
• Network Security: detect, react and respond to emerging threats using packet- or flow-based traffic analysis
• Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDC): automatically monitor and secure virtual workload traffic with ease
• SecOps and NetOps: identify, monitor and troubleshoot traffic hot spots to reduce mean-time-to-repair (MTTR)
  

With increasing demands for more agility, automation and security across the IT infrastructure, you need a solution that helps you automatically detect and mitigate threats and integrates into your existing network and security environment. GigaVUE-FM enables Software-Defined Visibility by supporting programmable interfaces using REST APIs to provision and manage the network traffic and data accessed by the visibility nodes within your network. These APIs can be used by traffic monitoring tools (security, NPM, APM), IT operations management and SDN controllers to:

• Enable the Defender Lifecycle Model by programming the traffic policies to respond to new threat patterns: e.g. decrypt SSL/TLS, generate NetFlow, or even drop traffic in inline mode if malware is detected
• Discover and collect inventory information of the Gigamon Platform to be used for capacity planning or configuration management database (CMDB) analysis
• Update traffic flows in the Gigamon Platform based on network traffic re-direction
