Eliminate Blind Spots in Lateral (East-West) Traffic
Gain deep observability, enhance performance monitoring, and strengthen your organization's security posture.
Establish Effective Security and Monitoring Postures
Organizations are monitoring hybrid cloud infrastructure in an increasingly challenging cybersecurity threat landscape.
Traditional perimeter security architectures that rely on log-based security tools provide an incomplete view of what is happening once traffic enters the infrastructure.
Cloud-first organizations require deep observability into all hybrid cloud network traffic. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline enables:
- Effective security and performance monitoring by combining proven analysis strategies with efficient access to network-derived intelligence
- Instant identification of applications communicating across hybrid cloud infrastructure
- Simplified access to traffic that is difficult to analyze, including encrypted, container-to-container, and VM-to-VM traffic
- Deep observability into all lateral traffic across hybrid cloud infrastructure, spanning virtual, physical, public cloud, and container workloads

Why East-West Visibility is the Key to Strengthening Your Security Posture
How Gigamon Can Help
Gigamon uniquely supports organizations by helping to eliminate security blind spots in lateral traffic, helping them to gain an effective security and monitoring posture. Regardless of the scale or complexity of an organization’s hybrid cloud infrastructure, Gigamon can access and efficiently deliver network-derived intelligence from lateral traffic across hybrid cloud infrastructure to various tools that are being used for security and performance monitoring. This enables teams to proactively analyze and respond to issues through a deep observability strategy that integrates traditional log-based tools with access to network intelligence derived from lateral traffic. This combination extends the value of existing investments in security and monitoring tools, making them more efficient and effective.
Detect Port Spoofing
Reveal concealed threat activity in lateral traffic by looking beyond port information to accurately identify which applications packets are using.
Acquire Application Observability
The integration of log-based data with application metadata intelligence enables organizations to fully understand what applications are currently running and where they can be found to identify security risks and enhance performance.
Secure Virtual Infrastructure
Gain deep observability into encrypted traffic communication between VMs and containers to eliminate blind spots across your hybrid cloud infrastructure.
“Deep Observability is important for us because we have a large segmented network. Gigamon allows us the ability to monitor our all traffic, including East-West, not just traffic coming in and out.”
“Now we know everything that’s happening on our on-premises network as opposed to only 20 percent of it. The visibility adds a lot of value. We can have everything going to a single point without having multiple tap [test access point] devices all over the place.”
“We selected Gigamon because it is the most complete, total solution that’s capable of supporting all kinds of traffic in our current environment.”
“The Gigamon platform enables us to feed all the different tool sets we have acquired and offers us X-ray capability, not only in the physical world but also in the virtual world.”
