Gigamon’s Security Delivery Platform wins support from FireEye

“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

Un-sampled Netflow/IPFIX generation for network forensics and analysis
