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.”
