Case Study: Leading U.S. Telecommunications Provider achieves 75% tool cost reduction and enhanced security with Gigamon's GigaSECURE

Gigamon Teams with the European Broadcasting Union to Strengthen Its Traffic Visibility for Faster Incident Diagnosis and Network Security

A leading U.S. telecommunications provider rebuilding its network made security and complete traffic visibility its top priorities. The company needed a solution that could generate NetFlow for SecOps triage, provide advanced application session filtering for NetOps, and prevent tool sprawl while improving DDoS detection and troubleshooting.

They deployed Gigamon’s GigaSECURE platform (GigaVUE‑HC2 with Inline Bypass, GigaVUE TA edge nodes and GigaSMART modules) to deliver NetFlow, session filtering and a custom negative‑heartbeat for DDoS tools. The result: streamlined infrastructure (reducing DDoS appliances from 24 to six), a 75% reduction in tool costs, improved inline resiliency and the ability to route scrubbed traffic to cloud platforms while giving multiple teams better visibility and control.
