Case Study: Goodwood Estate Company Limited achieves 95%+ lateral East–West visibility and resilient business continuity with Gigamon and Vectra AI

Goodwood Estate Strengthens Business Continuity Securely with Gigamon and Vectra AI

Goodwood Estate, a historic 11,000‑acre sporting and hospitality estate in West Sussex, needed to protect critical application uptime across a diverse hybrid environment. With a small IT team, Head of IT Chris Payne faced limited visibility into lateral (East‑West) traffic—about 20%—inability to see VMware vSAN traffic, and an overload of SIEM alerts that made it hard to prioritize real threats.

Goodwood deployed Gigamon GigaVUE‑HC1 and GigaSMART to aggregate and forward traffic into Vectra AI’s network detection and response, giving a single point of visibility and AI‑driven triage. The result: over 95% lateral visibility, reduced alert noise and IT workload, faster threat detection, and improved network resilience and business continuity with a reliable, easy‑to‑manage solution.
