Gigamon Highlights Critical Role of Deep Observability Across Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure at Black Hat USA 2024

Company sounds the alarm on today’s biggest cybersecurity threat: cloud visibility;

showcases how to detect previously unseen threats across hybrid cloud environments

Gigamon, a leader in deep observability, today announced its sponsorship and attendance at Black Hat USA 2024 from Aug. 3-8 in Las Vegas. At booth #3050, the Gigamon team will showcase how its Deep Observability Pipeline helps detect the presence of ransomware and other advanced threats, enabling organizations to close the cybersecurity preparedness gap across their hybrid cloud infrastructure.

In 2023, the global average cost of a data breach was $4.45 million1. Security leaders know they can’t protect what they can’t see, yet, despite the desire to have full visibility. The Gigamon 2024 Hybrid Cloud Security Survey of over 1,000 Security and IT leaders revealed 25 percent were unable to detect the root cause of a breach, impairing their ability to prevent future attacks. Nearly 1 in 3 (32 percent) were only made aware of a breach when the data was leaked on the dark web or a ransomware threat was made, further highlighting the vulnerabilities organizations face in today’s threat landscape.

A new infographic based on the survey links the lack of visibility in lateral, East-West traffic and encrypted cloud traffic to the rise in cybersecurity breaches and data leaks, key topics at this year’s Black Hat USA. Highlights from the infographic include:

  • Visibility inside the network is limited: 60 percent of organizations lack visibility into lateral, East-West traffic
  • Blind spots defy protection from threat actors: Only 25 percent of organizations were able to detect and respond to a threat in real-time
  • A new level of visibility is required to defend against threats today: 84 percent agree that gaining deep observability is key to strengthening security posture. In the survey, deep observability was defined as delivering network-derived intelligence to cloud, security, and observability tools
  • Boards are prioritizing greater visibility for organizations: 80 percent report that deep observability is discussed at the board level as a priority for hybrid cloud security

“The complexity of today’s hybrid cloud infrastructure is creating a perfect target for cyber criminals,” said Chaim Mazal, chief security officer at Gigamon. “When you combine legacy hardware, hybrid and multi-cloud, and virtual containers, there are obvious visibility gaps as data moves from one location to the next. These ‘blind spots’ are exactly what threat actors are looking for and, until security teams solve this visibility problem, breaches will continue.”
