Santa Clara, CA – August 02, 2022 – Gigamon, the leader in deep observability, today announced its participation at Black Hat USA 2022 from August 8-11 in Las Vegas, NV. At Booth #2555, the company will showcase the Gigamon Hawk Deep Observability Pipeline, which harnesses actionable network-level intelligence to amplify the power of cloud, security, and observability tools. The company will also highlight Gigamon ThreatINSIGHT^™, the first network detection and response (NDR) solution to provide 365-day rich network metadata retention.

According to the Gigamon State of Ransomware 2022 and Beyond report, 59 percent of organizations believe ransomware attacks have worsened in the last three months. A recent IBM report showed the average cost of a data breach is 4.35 million dollars and 83 percent of organizations have had more than one data breach, showing that data breaches are incredibly costly. To combat these rising threats, deep observability provides actionable network-level intelligence to detect threats and help mitigate risk and ease operational complexity. Additionally, nearly 60 percent of IT leaders report being risk-averse due to a dramatic increase in cloud-based data breaches. These threats are often unseen and are the most likely to disrupt business continuity and permanently damage consumer confidence – which just happens to be this year’s Black Hat theme, officially titled, “What you [don’t] see is what you get.”

“Limited visibility into the potential threats within your network can leave you in the dark,” said Chris Borales, senior product marketing manager at Gigamon. “With the Gigamon Hawk Deep Observability Pipeline and Gigamon ThreatINSIGHT, organizations can turn the lights on. Having the ability to proactively detect and respond to threats helps level the playing field with attackers to stay a step ahead of them. We’re excited to showcase our solutions at Black Hat that help IT organizations to mitigate risk and realize the full transformational promise of the cloud.”
