TechFix – Securing the Hybrid Cloud

Visibility deployments in large and distributed hybrid cloud environments can be time-consuming as well as challenging. IaC, or Infrastructure as Code, can greatly simplify the process of scaling visibility solutions. The use of IaC addresses the issues of scaling deployments, upgrades, and rollbacks. In this session, Gigamon engineers will demonstrate an end-to-end deployment of Gigamon Cloud Suite for VMware using Ansible playbooks along with automating new technologies for accessing encrypted traffic.

Dev teams are running fast iteratively modernizing apps, often without involving operations teams. Unmonitored network blind spots continue to increase attack surface and make troubleshooting more difficult, often leading to finger-pointing at NetOps teams. 

At this webinar VMware and Gigamon Product teams will provide you with walk throughs, use cases and best practices, and even show you a demo of new, cutting-edge technologies.
- 5 steps for successful cloud migration and app modernization
- Recommendations for containerizing and re-securing apps 
- How to eliminate all east-west blind spots, including container communications, and
- New technology demo: Feeding intelligence from cloud traffic to your SIEM and observability tools

Clear Away The Fog with Gigamon Deep Observability: As the cloud becomes foggier and more complex, the need to provide teams and the tools they rely on with deep observability into all activity and traffic becomes critically important. For almost twenty years, Gigamon has been the leader in ensuring visibility and tools efficiency to enhance an organization’s public, private and hybrid cloud security postures. Join Gigamon to discover:

- How Gigamon Deep Observability pipeline delivers complete visibility into hybrid traffic
- Techniques to optimize traffic to tools and between hybrid platforms
- A revolutionary new approach to handling cloud traffic encryption and decryption

App developers are running fast, but have they kept security in mind every step of the way? Even as more applications are containerized, accessing and inspecting container traffic remains elusive. That is, until now. Gigamon Universal Cloud Tap (UCT) is a gamechanger for container visibility. Hear from a veteran Gigamon Sales Engineer as he shares best practices for accessing container traffic to better secure your applications.

Encrypted traffic is a major blind spot, especially in hybrid could environments. Gigamon has introduced a breakthrough approach that, for the first time, gives your tools full visibility into all encrypted cloud traffic without the heavy lift of traditional decryption methods or the complexity of key management. Our single, non-agent approach works with all encryption protocol standards, including TLS 1.3. Learn about this novel approach and how to put it to work for you.

If your security tools rely on logs, you may not be seeing the whole picture. In fact, the picture may not even be reliable. That’s because logs can be overwritten, manipulated, and deleted by bad actors. To achieve a more proactive security and compliance posture, adding network-derived context to MELT data brings the entire picture into focus. In this session, we’ll discuss how immutable network intelligence enables you to spot SSL/TLS vulnerabilities, identify port spoofing, and stop rogue activities before damage is done.

In this engaging session, our expert speakers, Tim Christie, and Mark Jow, will unveil the revolutionary Gigamon Precryption™ technology. Discover how Precryption eliminates the biggest blind spot in modern hybrid cloud infrastructure: With Precryption, you'll gain plaintext visibility into all encrypted communications without the need for decryption.

Encrypted lateral traffic: Is there a bigger blind spot? We can only search where the light shines, not where we lost that proverbial key. The shadows today’s hybrid-cloud digital infrastructure provides a hiding space for both threat actors and pesky app troubleshooting issues.

Do any of these apply to your organization?
- Lack of network traffic visibility into east-west, lateral virtual traffic, including container pod-pod or client-server communications.
- No practical way to decrypt that traffic, especially TLS 1.3.
- Current SIEMs and observability tools cannot see and run analytics on unmanaged host communications.
- Tools cannot ingest network packets because of capability, capacity, and cost challenges.
- App owners resist agents in their apps and workloads.

You will get a behind the curtain look at this new technology and see a demo of emerging real-life use cases that are just now coming to light. Join us for a view into the future of security and operations.

Threat actors conceal lateral movement and data extraction within encrypted communications, making it incredibly difficult to detect when they are present. Gigamon Precryption™ technology is a breakthrough approach to increasing network deep observability in hybrid cloud infrastructure.

This technology increases deep observability while simultaneously enabling organizations to meet encryption compliance standards. At the same time, Gigamon Precryption technology is reducing complexity and costs to decryption. Precryption offers plaintext visibility into encrypted communications before the payload is encrypted – no decryption required.

In this complimentary webinar, attendees learned how to:
- Understand Precryption technology and why it is different
- Eliminate blind spots and prevent cybercrime using Precryption
- Help security teams achieve TLS 1.3 compliance, boost DNS security and extend Zero Trust architecture into the hybrid cloud

The Security of hybrid cloud models is a crucial topic that holds significance in today's technology world. As the landscape of artificial intelligence continues to expand, safeguarding your data within the diverse realms of cloud environments becomes paramount.

This webinar will shed light on how prioritizing cloud security is essential for organizations. By investing in best practices for cloud security, businesses can not only fortify their data against potential threats but also optimize cloud performance.

Discover how the partnership between WWT, Gigamon and Nutanix can provide an innovative approach to securing your hybrid cloud environments.

Feeding traffic from AWS to security and performance monitoring tools can become very expensive as environments scale and deploy NDR/XDR sensors. Organizations can be overwhelmed by the surprisingly high costs of AWS, especially when load balancers are needed to support large amounts of volume.

The complexity of hybrid application environments obscures root cause identification hinders proactive incident resolution, and negatively impacts user experience. Organizations need a unified observability solution that delivers full-stack visibility, leverages AI for predictive and prescriptive insights, establishes user-centric Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and generates timely, actionable alerts to maintain optimal service delivery.

For our inaugural Product Clinic, John Gonzales, Technical Success Manager, delivers a deep-dive technical demo on how to deploy GigaVUE Fabric Manager from the AWS Marketplace.
