Gigamon Cybersecurity Self-Guided Tour

Gigamon leads the forefront of cybersecurity innovation by offering a robust observability pipeline that leverages actionable network-derived intelligence to enhance the effectiveness of an agency’s cloud, security and observability tools. This integrated approach ensures not only security and compliance governance but also accelerates root-cause analysis of performance bottlenecks, while simultaneously reducing operational overhead associated with managing hybrid and MultiCloud IT infrastructures. By transcending conventional security and observability methodologies reliant solely on metrics, events, logs and traces (MELT) data, Gigamon delivers unparalleled value. Real-time network intelligence derived from packets, flows and application metadata enables a defense-in-depth strategy and comprehensive performance management across diverse cloud environments. Through proactive threat identification and rapid anomaly detection, Gigamon empowers agencies to fortify their security posture, mitigate risks and expedite troubleshooting, thus elevating cybersecurity to new heights of effectiveness and efficiency.

Metadata Integration with Splunk

Splunk can ingest network-derived intelligence metadata extracted by Gigamon Application Metadata Intelligence and enables users to create dashboards that help identify, detect, and respond to various security threats. The added layer of intelligence helps create security postures that can identify initial signs of anomalous traffic, detect specific security risks, and respond to threats more effectively.

Benefits:

  • Make logs application aware enabling deeper insights
  • Monitor DNS traffic, identify rogue DNS servers, and assess external DNS server queries
  • Identify rogue and unauthorized applications 
  • Identify status of SSL/TLS certificates including expired, expiring or unauthorized certificates

Observability Integration

Gigamon augments traditional metrics, events, logs, and traces (MELT) data that power most observability solutions with over 7,000 applications and security-related metadata attributes. Observability tools such as Dynatrace can ingest relevant metadata and then visualize and analyze this data to provide comprehensive observability. Dynatrace’s multi-dimensional dashboard capabilities provide extensive and highly granular views into network operations, security, and application performance. This enables IT teams analyze, troubleshoot, and optimize the entire software stack from the network to application level.

Benefits:

  • Detect unauthorized remote connections used for data exfiltration
  • Identify expired or expiring TLS certificates
  • Detect suspicious WAN activity that may indicate Command and Control attacks
  • Monitor and control file access

NDR Integration

The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline powers NDR tools with complete hybrid network visibility to gain visibility across your infrastructure for real-time detection and intelligent response. NDR tools can ingest the raw packets accessed by Gigamon and these packets are then analyzed using the AI and ML-based intelligence in the NDR tools models to detect anomalous traffic and suspicious behaviors across an entire infrastructure as soon as they occur. Once a threat has been detected, teams can pivot from detection to forensic evidence by using streamlined investigation and response integrations to immediately act on threats.
 

Benefits:

  • Provide cost-effective packet-level access to all on-premises, virtualized and cloud traffic
  • Detect behaviors that signal a ransomware attack in progress and respond to the infiltration before it achieves real damage
  • Centralized decryption provides NDR tools with decrypted data to eliminate blind spots
  • Ensure NDR tools retain complete visibility as infrastructure scales

Zero Trust

The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline provides visibility into all network traffic—a level of visibility that is foundational to Zero Trust success. As John Kindervag, sometimes called the Father of Zero Trust, observed: “Gaining complete visibility into the network is like lighting up the whole street."

Benefits:

  • Visibility is foundational to DoD ZTA v2.0, CISA ZT Maturity v2 and NIST SP 800-207A success
  • Meets 56 of the DoD ZT Reference Architecture v2.0 activities and controls
  • Part of the Technology Advancement Center (TAC) initiative with Crowdstrike, Vectra, and Elastic
  • Accelerate success of M-21-31 projects

Gigamon’s Benefits Snapshot:

 

  • Embrace a proactive security and compliance approach to reduce risk exposure.
  • Establish a robust digital infrastructure to enhance productivity, agility and organizational resilience.
  • Channel IT resources towards accelerating cloud initiatives to drive top-line growth effectively.
