Gigamon's Security Delivery Platform Wins Support from FireEye

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gigamon Inc. GIMO, the leader in traffic visibility solutions, today announced that its GigaSECURE® Security Delivery Platform fully supports and interoperates with the advanced persistent threat solutions offered by FireEye, Inc., FEYE, the leader in stopping today's advanced cyber attacks. Gigamon and FireEye working in tandem helps ensure that FireEye solutions receive the necessary traffic that they need to thwart advanced cyber threats while GigaSECURE helps to reduce network complexity, costs and security appliance contention for traffic.

"To be effective, a security appliance needs to be able to access the right network traffic stream," said Ed Barry, VP Cyber Security Coalition at FireEye. "With GigaSECURE, our customers can direct all traffic from networks and hybrid clouds to our appliances to help ensure comprehensive and network wide threat protection."

GigaSECURE® – The Security Delivery Platform That Bolsters Advanced Threat Protection
The GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform comprises scalable hardware and software elements that aggregate traffic from physical and virtual networks and delivers it at line-rate speeds to FireEye advanced threat protection systems for malware analysis and network forensics. 

Key benefits of GigaSECURE include:

• Infrastructure-wide reach via Gigamon's GigaVUE-VM and GigaVUE® nodes to feed FireEye appliances
• Un-sampled Netflow/IPFIX generation for network forensics and analysis
• Application Session Filtering which selectively sends the right traffic to FireEye for analysis
• SSL decryption for application malware analysis
• Inline bypass and out of band capabilities for FireEye appliance scaling and fault tolerance

"Advanced threat protection is a key initiative for organizations," said Johnnie Konstantas, Director of Security Solutions at Gigamon. "The GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform helps expedite and scale deployments of FireEye while maximizing the visibility these appliances have to the traffic they need to analyze."
