Gigamon partners with ExtraHop & WWT to bolster cybersecurity

Gigamon has announced a new Power of 3 offering in collaboration with ExtraHop and World Wide Technology (WWT), enhancing cybersecurity defences for their joint customers.

The initiative aims to maximise threat detection and streamline network detection and response (NDR) capabilities.

Launched as part of Gigamon's Power of 3 Cloud Integration Initiative, the offering brings together Gigamon, ExtraHop, and WWT to provide comprehensive technology integrations and support. This collaboration is designed to help organisations more efficiently secure and manage their hybrid cloud infrastructure.

The new offering features the integration of ExtraHop's RevealX NDR platform with the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, marketed and serviced by WWT. According to a Gigamon survey conducted in 2024, one in three organisations reported being unable to detect a breach in the previous 12 months, with only 25% able to respond in real-time. These findings underline the pressing need for improved visibility and threat detection across hybrid cloud environments.

"Today's threat environment continues to escalate, and real-time threat detection and remediation is not just a goal, but mission-critical for every organisation," said Dee Dee Acquista, Vice President of Worldwide Channel Sales at Gigamon. "Combining the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline with the ExtraHop RevealX platform, all sold and serviced by one of the largest and most trusted global systems integrators, WWT, gives organisations the real-time visibility advantage they need to help lower business risk and defend against cybercrime."

By integrating Gigamon's data insights into ExtraHop's RevealX platform, organisations can enhance their log data with network-derived intelligence, thus achieving comprehensive visibility across their hybrid cloud infrastructure. This integration allows for more effective detection and response to threats across various traffic types, spanning from data centres to the user and device edge.

WWT, a global technology solutions provider and Gigamon partner since 2016, is responsible for selling, deploying, and servicing the new Power of 3 combination. The collaboration leverages WWT's extensive network of InfoSec experts to ensure the new offering is efficiently implemented.

The Power of 3 offering enables customers to eliminate blind spots by providing centralised visibility into all lateral, East-West, and North-South traffic across on-premises, virtual, public cloud, and container environments. It also offers advanced network threat detection capabilities, allowing for precise and rapid responses to threats. Furthermore, it can significantly reduce cloud traffic access costs through intelligent data routing based on network telemetry.

"As adversaries find new ways to evade traditional cybersecurity solutions, enterprises are increasingly relying on the ExtraHop RevealX platform to get instant visibility across the entire attack surface, rapidly accelerating threat detection and response," said John McCabe, Area Vice President of Channel Sales at ExtraHop. "By combining 360-degree visibility from RevealX with data insights from Gigamon and WWT's industry expertise, we're making it easier for joint customers to identify risks and stop threats faster so they can keep operations running."

Chris Konrad, Vice President of Global Cyber at WWT, emphasised the importance of the collaboration in building business resilience. "Our focus is enabling organisations worldwide to build business resilience. Bringing Gigamon and ExtraHop together is a force multiplier, empowering security teams with deep observability into all traffic running across data centre and multi-cloud environments. This comprehensive oversight allows joint customers to proactively detect and address critical issues before they disrupt business operations," he stated.
