Gigamon, a leader in deep observability, is releasing GigaVUE 6.12, introducing new support for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and further expanding the capabilities of the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline.
According to the company, this release equips organizations with an immediate defensive strategy against emerging cryptographic threats hidden in encrypted traffic, including both classic and post-quantum ciphers, while accelerating the transition to quantum-safe encryption standards.
“Quantum readiness isn’t a future concern. It’s a critical imperative for all security teams today,” said Chaim Mazal, chief AI and security officer at Gigamon. “With the advances we’ve made, I’m optimistic about the safeguards we’re building to future-proof hybrid cloud infrastructure and its data. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline delivers the encryption visibility and network intelligence organizations require today, while building a resilient foundation for tomorrow’s quantum-safe future.”
The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline delivers a high level of intelligence by exposing weak cipher suites and non-compliant encryption methods that often remain hidden in encrypted flows. With Gigamon, organizations can build a cryptographic inventory, validate PQC implementations, and promote the secure and efficient operation of encryption, whether classical or quantum safe, the company said.
Today’s organizations are rapidly transitioning to TLS1.3, one of the most widely adopted security protocols that uses encryption and currently the only protocol to support PQC.
TL1.3 is natively supported by Gigamon, and depending on requirements, customers can choose to either decrypt traffic or select specific traffic for its Gigamon Precryption technology. Precryption technology allows security teams to get plaintext visibility across encrypted traffic in virtual, cloud, and container environments without having to perform “break and inspect.”
Gigamon Application Metadata Intelligence (AMI), which is network-derived telemetry enriched with application-level context, delivers visibility into encrypted traffic and now also supports PQC, enabling organizations toeasily identify, report, and eliminate insecure cryptographic practices.
This ability to immediately identify threats and take action to prevent data exfiltration paves the way for a secure,quantum-resistant hybrid cloud infrastructure, the company said.
The new Gigamon PQC capabilities enable security and IT teams to:
- Gain encrypted traffic visibility
- Integrate with existing security tools
- Accelerate PQC transition
