The CISOConundrum
How Breaches Affect theBottom Line
According to Forbes, the number of large organizations with a multi-cloudstrategy is predicted to rise to 85 percent in 20241 as organizations seek tobalance business agility with cyber security in cloud transformations.

The cost of a security breach reaches
far beyond dollars and cents,
impacting business in profound ways:

At the same time, the cost and scale of cyberattacks are at an all-time
high, with global cybercrime costs projected to reach $10.5 trillion by2025.2 As a result, CISOs are faced with the challenge of securing andmonitoring their complex infrastructure from a threat landscape that isconstantly becoming more sophisticated while also containing cost andcomplexity. Despite record spending on the latest security strategies andtools, like SASE, EDR, network micro-segmentation, and SIEMs, CISOs still
struggle to keep up with the growing tide of emerging threats, particularly
ransomware and insider breaches.

• Disrupting business operations by
causing downtime and lost revenue• Damaging an organization’sreputation and customer loyalty
through IP and customer data theft.
• Making it more expensive (maybe even
impossible) to purchase cyber-insurance.
• Exposing the organization and its
officers to the risk of regulatory andcompliance fines and possibly jail time.

Your Network’s Biggest Blind Spots:
Lateral and Encrypted Traffic
With increasing cloud adoption also comes increasing cost and complexity insecuring and managing hybrid cloud infrastructure. Different infrastructurecomponents have their own monitoring tools and processes, leading to a
fragmented stack of siloed tools that doesn’t offer a complete picture ofwhat’s really happening across your hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Your security tools are tough on North-South threats andsurprisingly chill about East-West ones.

Your security toolsare doing a great job.
As far as you know.

Most security tools inspect north-south traffic but often neglect lateral
movement — which can lead to devastating consequences for yourorganization. If threat actors breach your network, they can move freely
across your hybrid cloud infrastructure undetected, ultimately accessing
your organization’s most sensitive data.
The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline is the one solution singularly
focused on eliminating this blind spot by providing the lateral East-Westvisibility needed to detect previously unseen threats, including ones that
may already be inside your network.

Without deep observability, youcould end up with your hair on fire.

The dangers lurking in encrypted traffic
Given that 95 percent of all web traffic is encrypted,4 organizations that lackvisibility into encrypted traffic are exposed to hidden threats their existing
security tools can’t see. And as encryption trends up, so do the opportunities
for threat actors to exploit encrypted channels.

Every network has something to hide. Until now.
Decrypting all traffic can be costly and complex, demanding high compute
power while increasing latency and reducing performance — until now.
Gigamon offers a powerful combination of patented solutions that makes
gaining visibility into encrypted traffic affordable and scalable, including ouraward-winning Precryption™ technology and GigaSMART© TLS/SSL Decryption.

Even the Best Security andObservability Tools Have Blind Spots
See the whole iceberg with deep observability.
Traditional and native cloud tools that gain visibility exclusively throughmetric, event, log, and trace (MELT) data are limited in what they can identify
and how deeply or broadly they can monitor today’s complex infrastructure.
The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline goes beyond traditional
observability approaches by extracting intelligence directly from network
traffic and efficiently delivering it to your tools in real time. With thisnetwork-derived intelligence, your tools can detect previously hidden
threats and help mitigate the cost and severity of an attack.

Deep observability helps eliminate blind spots by giving yourtools the network-derived intelligence and insights needed todetect threats that would have previously flown under the radar.

The Growing Importance of
Real-Time Threat Detection
Cyberattacks are getting fasterand more aggressive as attackers
shorten the time between initialentry, lateral movement, and breach.

62 Minutes
The average time it takes for a threat actor tomove from an initially compromised host toanother within the organization has sped up
by 23 percent since last year, with sometaking only minutes to succeed.

204 Days
It takes organizations an average of 204
days to identify a data breach and 73 days tocontain it.7

to Achieve Tangible Outcomes

Increase Agility, Reduce Costs

Save Operational Costs

The answer to fortifying your security
posture is not necessarily investing inmore tools. In fact, having too many
tools has proven to be less effective
in detecting and mitigating threatsby overwhelming security teams
and creating data silos that lead tovisibility gaps and blind spots.3

By optimizing and improving
signal-to-noise ratio of network
traffic ingestion, Gigamon
customers often realize 50-60
percent savings on tools spend
and deferral of in-year new
capacity purchases. Gigamon also
eliminates the need for costly
cloud gateway and load balancing
services, reducing the cost of cloud
traffic acquisition from 0.75 cents
to 0.04 cents per gigabyte.

Gigamon optimizes tools’
performance and effectiveness tohelp organizations manage tool
sprawl, reduce costs, and above
all gain the deep observability you
need to eliminate blind spots.
