“We’re honored to be recognized by Forbes and rank in the top ten of this year’s Fast Tech 25,” said Paul Hooper, CEO of Gigamon. “We credit our inclusion to our innovative technology, our leadership of the visibility market that we created, and our dedicated employees. Visibility is a fundamental requirement to deploy a meaningful security architecture to provide enterprises the insight they need to best protect their critical data assets.
