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.

A hybrid cloud infrastructure provides significant benefits in terms of operational agility, efficiency and scalability. However, the management and security of hybrid and multi-cloud environments can be a serious challenge. Join this session to learn how the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and Nutanix’ hyper-converged infrastructure optimizes use of resources to deliver end-to-end visibility; real-time operational insights; fast, precise threat detection, and robust security in even the most sophisticated hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Despite global information security spending projected at $215B in 2024, today’s organizations are losing ground against cyber criminals. In our annual survey of more than 1,000 security and IT leaders worldwide, we explored cybersecurity challenges and top priorities to secure and manage increasingly complex hybrid cloud infrastructure. Our survey found 1 in 3 organizations were unable to detect a data breach in the last 12 months using existing tools. Why? Join our CSO Chaim Mazal for this keynote session as he shares survey highlights, insights on the state of cybersecurity, and how organizations must adapt to close the preparedness gap.

Discover how network-derived intelligence with enhanced metadata empowers you to lower security risk by proactively identifying threats, streamline PCI compliance, accelerate your Zero Trust objectives, and lower costs. In this session, you’ll learn how to unlock the full potential of your network data to gain unparalleled visibility into your hybrid cloud infrastructure and empower your InfoSec and SecOps teams to make informed decisions.

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.

Even with encryption, ransomware and other threats can find their way into your environment. While encryption is foundational for security and privacy, adversaries can take advantage of encrypted channels to hide activities within virtual workloads and to traverse laterally across the hybrid cloud infrastructure. Gigamon Precryption™ technology is the gamechanger that gives SecOps teams plaintext visibility into encrypted traffic and lateral movements – without the complexity or overhead of traditional decryption.  This session will go through how Precryption technology reveals hidden threats plus the latest enhancements to this innovative technology.

Meeting compliance standards for data privacy and security is mission critical. Whether you’re in healthcare, retail, financial services, or in the public sector, data privacy regulations require that all data-in-motion and data-at-rest for cloud applications adhere to strict security standards. However, ensuring compliance for applications running on public clouds has proven extremely challenging... until now.  In this session, we will discuss and demonstrate how organizations apply Gigamon Application Metadata Intelligence to meet and maintain regulatory compliance.

According to the 2024 Gigamon Hybrid Cloud Security Report, fewer than half of over 1,000 global IT and security leaders surveyed claim to have lateral East-West visibility across their hybrid cloud infrastructure, which includes container-to-container communications. Threat actors know this and are actively exploiting this oversight, as evidenced by recent high-profile attacks which employed lateral movement to evade detection. In this session, we will cover how you can gain simple and scalable deep observability into container environments, at both packet and metadata levels.  You’ll also learn best practices based on recent customer deployment use cases on how to acquire traffic from any container along with accessing and aggregating container traffic from multiple cloud platforms.

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.

Every security organization owns a suite of solutions composed of tools covering endpoints, applications, cloud, and network hardware.  While these tools deliver the functionality promised, threats are still getting through – so we know more work needs to be done. Folks, it’s 2024 and we still don’t know what’s running on our network!  Join us as we walk through: how you can identify critical gaps in your organization’s security posture, the components of a “modern” security posture and finally, how to use network-derived intelligence and telemetry to consolidate tool functions across multiple areas (cloud, observability, security, network) into a single cohesive and proactive security posture.

DevOps must deliver business agility and high application performance together with strong application security. How can security and infrastructure teams work with DevOps to ensure network intelligence-derived security is incorporated directly into the software development process – without compromising speed or quality? In this session we will walk you through a free-to-try, self-contained AWS-based Gigamon tool that demonstrates how network-derived intelligence can help application owners identify and prevent misconfigurations, compliance violations, and vulnerabilities.

Not knowing whether a performance bottleneck is caused by the network or the application itself often leads to a “blame game” among application, network, and cloud teams. This finger pointing can delay resolution and also stifle collaboration. Join us to learn how Gigamon can help you to more quickly and precisely pinpoint the root cause of performance bottlenecks and finally end the “blame game”.

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.

It’s not a matter of “if” but “when” organizations are breached. That’s the premise that Federal agencies operate under and it’s one that would be prudent to follow. With an Assumption of Compromise, it’s assumed that threat actors are currently living off the land (LTOL) using applications and protocols already available in workloads. Why LTOL and similar attacks can go unnoticed is because of a critical gap in traditional logging that is often overlooked. Learn why relying on logs from a firewall or router as the single source of truth is not enough. In this session, we will take a broad look at logging from the perspective of government threat hunting, and how it can be greatly enhanced with network-derived intelligence to make it far more resilient and harder for bad actors to defeat.

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.
