Optimizing Your Data Center

Join us for an insightful panel discussion on Closing the Cybersecurity Preparedness Gap with Deep Observability, featuring Gigamon customers. This session will delve into the security challenges facing CISOs today, moderated by Gigamon Chief Security Officer Chaim Mazal. Customers will share real-world experiences, strategies, and solutions they have implemented to better secure and manage their hybrid cloud infrastructure. Gain valuable insights on strengthening your organization's hybrid cloud security posture.

The public cloud has been a game-changer for many organizations. In contrast to traditional on-premises architectures, it enables applications to be deployed with flexibility and agility. The downside is that public cloud costs can be high and, in some cases, exorbitant when it comes to adding management capabilities like ensuring visibility. Join Gigamon CFO, Dave Arkley, and resident cost-expert Ryan Mahoney, as they detail how Gigamon helps you to gain the pervasive cloud visibility you need while lowering your total cost of ownership by up to 80 percent.

Explore the synergy between Cribl and Gigamon in enhancing data observability, network performance and security.  In today’s data driven landscape, organizations face the challenge of managing vast amounts of data while ensuring performance, security and compliance. This session will show how Cribl’s innovative data routing and transformation capabilities, combined with network intelligence from the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, enable organizations to gain deeper insights that streamline operations, and power informed decisions.

Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP are modern marvels with immense scalability and flexibility. These benefits can also come with sticker shock when your cloud environment is not optimized.  For example, complex tapping and mirroring architectures often lead to unnecessarily high billing costs, especially for packet-based security tools like Cloud Network Detection & Response. In this session, we’ll examine alternative designs and solutions to the default monitoring options from public cloud platforms that can save you a bundle in infrastructure costs.

From an operational perspective, using an agentless solution such as mirroring for virtual traffic access seems ideal. Nothing to install, easier to manage, less expensive etc. In fact, the opposite is true. Agent-based traffic access solutions are easier to configure, yield higher performance, and usually cost less than their agentless counterparts.  In this session, we’ll expose the myths and misconceptions about using an agent for traffic access. We’ll also discuss why agents for traffic access are different than traditional tool agents and explain why they might be the best option for your network.

The need to inspect encrypted traffic is critical given the prevalence of encrypted malware lurking in our midst. But with over 90 percent of enterprise data being encrypted, managing this traffic and determining when and where to decrypt it remains a significant challenge for many organizations. Gigamon provides a range of decryption solutions and in this session, we’ll explore the pros and cons of the most common deployment scenarios and help you to learn how to decide which model is most efficient and effective for your organization.

GigaVUE-OS and GigaVUE-FM offer a rich set of features and capabilities - so many that users can be overwhelmed. In this session, we’ll highlight five high-value features that you may not know about but that could dramatically improve the return on your investment, optimize your workflows, make your tools more efficient, and help keep your networks healthy and secure.
