EDITOR’S QUESTION
Trevor Dearing
EMEA Marketing
Director, Gigamon
Today, organisations around the world
are fighting a growing enemy – and
losing. Cyber criminals have breached
almost every major corporation and
government department and despite
our defenses, they are not just getting
through, they are staying undetected
for longer. As leaders in business and
government, it’s time for us to fight
smarter, and together. With data
dispersed across the infrastructure,
IT organisations struggle to manage,
analyse, and secure their networks.
Conventional security strategies just
aren’t working against today’s cyber
criminals.
With more and more things connecting
over the next five years, the network
traffic is going to increase across
thousands of endpoints. It is going to
be imperative for visibility into those
networks to be pervasive, intelligent
and dynamic. The current meme of
www.intelligentcio.com
‘urban camouflage’ is the perfect
metaphor for today’s cyber criminals –
who attempt to disguise their malware
as ordinary data and hope that it can
stay undetected for months or years
at a time. To defend against today’s
advanced threats, IT organisations
will require real-time visibility across
their entire IT infrastructure—
including physical, virtual, and cloud
environments. In short, they need a
security delivery platform.
Gigamon will showcase a security
delivery platform which connects into
the network, both physical and virtual,
and can be configured to deliver
traffic to all of the applications that
require it. The GigaSECURE platform
supports a wide variety of security
solutions that can sit outside of the
production network as well as other
security initiatives as well as other
security initiatives.
