SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gigamon Inc.
(NYSE: GIMO), the leader in traffic visibility solutions, today
announced a collaboration with RSA, the Security Division of EMC
(NYSE: EMC), to provide pervasive visibility into Software Defined
Data Center traffic via Gigamon's new Security Delivery Platform,
GigaSECURE®. Together the GigaSECURE platform and RSA Security
Analytics provide pervasive visibility and actionable intelligence
into physical and virtual network environments, including the
VMware NSX™ platform.
"Customers need pervasive visibility into virtual East-West
traffic in order to enforce policy and enable appropriate data
center protection and risk remediation techniques, especially as
more and more traffic moves through virtual environments," said
Maor Franco, Sr. Product Marketing
Manager at RSA. "Because GigaSECURE can reach and deliver
relevant network traffic, RSA Security Analytics is better able to
discover attacks often missed by log-centric SIEM and
signature-based tools by correlating packets with other security
data from anywhere in the network."
RSA Security Analytics gives organizations the necessary context
to help detect and respond to today's advanced attacks before they
can inflict widespread damage. By delivering virtual traffic to RSA
Security Analytics, GigaSECURE is designed to provide security
operations teams with active visibility to detect, investigate and
take timely and targeted action against advanced threats.
Commenting on the collaboration, Rod
Stuhlmuller, Senior Director of Product Marketing in the
networking and security business unit at VMware noted, "Our
customers are looking to ecosystem partners such as Gigamon and RSA
to deliver the best in class solutions that provide unified
visibility across customers' virtual and physical environments. As
more customers operationalize VMware NSX to improve security and IT
agility, they can be confident that NSX is a platform that supports
the security, visibility and troubleshooting solutions which they
are already using in their environments."
GigaSECURE – The Industry's First Security Delivery Platform
Optimized for RSA Security Analytics
As a platform, GigaSECURE is comprised of scalable hardware and
software elements that give security administrators unparalleled
visibility and capability for bolstering security effectiveness. By
delivering targeted traffic to RSA Security Analytics,
organizations will have enhanced visibility of both virtual and
physical network traffic and are better able to manage this traffic
through a single console, correlated to one security tool.
Additional key benefits of GigaSECURE include:
- Infrastructure-wide reach via Gigamon's GigaVUE-VM and GigaVUE
nodes to feed RSA Security Analytics with pervasive traffic
visibility;
- NetFlow record generation that is unsampled;
- Application Session Filtering, which eliminates unwanted
traffic, such as streaming video from the examined traffic
flows;
- SSL decryption for faster threat analysis.
"Massive amounts of traffic flows through software-defined data
center environments. This means pervasive visibility across the
entire data center network is critical," said Johnnie Konstantas, Director of Security
Solutions at Gigamon. "The GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform
extends the reach of RSA Security Analytics to include all network
data and metadata, which simply makes for better security
information and event management."
