Gigamon Precryption™ technology is a breakthrough approach to eliminating the biggest blind spot in modern hybrid cloud infrastructure: threat actor lateral activity concealed within encrypted communications. Leveraging Linux eBPF and standard encryption libraries, Precryption technology offers plaintext visibility into all encrypted communications before the payload is encrypted. No decryption required.
Yes, it’s that good.
Learn how to leverage plaintext visibility, delivered by Gigamon Precryption technology, to detect threat actors who circumvent existing cloud infrastructure security measures.
Deep observability with breadth, accuracy, and simplicity

“As our reliance on the cloud increases, being able to inspect encrypted communications is critical in keeping the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and its assets safe and secure from threat actors. With Precryption, Gigamon is 10 years ahead of the security industry with technology that detects previously concealed threat activity in a highly efficient manner that allows us to shift away from monolithic firewall architectures and complex decryption standards toward an efficient distributed model where our servers handle the processing without compromising performance. Gigamon Precryption will benefit the security industry as a whole and is a technology that organizations should closely evaluate as they migrate their operations to the cloud.”
“Gigamon Precryption technology addresses the critical security challenge of our ability to see into certain encrypted traffic, which has the potential to expose our multi-cloud environment and business to unseen threats. When I realized that Gigamon Precryption eliminates the complexity of key management and enables us to detect threats with a single view, it became clear this technology will redefine our security processes and significantly advance our security posture.”
“In a recent study of large enterprise IT and security leaders, we found that an alarming 50% accept the risk and don’t decrypt traffic today due to technical and cost challenges. At a time when organizations have a Zero Trust goal, it’s clear that half have no hope of achieving it. It’s time to pull visibility into encrypted traffic out of the ‘too hard, impossible, and too expensive bucket.’ With innovations like Gigamon Precryption technology, organizations can get the deep observability they need to meet evolving standards and regulatory compliance and confidently secure their hybrid cloud infrastructure.”
“Global enterprises are increasingly successful with unifying security logs in a security data lake, but encrypted traffic poses a real challenge. Industry advances like Gigamon Precryption present a compelling path for organizations to turn encrypted cloud traffic into visibility for better security and compliance across hybrid cloud infrastructure.”
“I have been saying for years that encryption is the armor that shields modern hybrid cloud infrastructure by safeguarding data integrity and privacy against the adversaries who seek to steal and disrupt our operations. In our security practice we are finding that those adversaries are increasingly exploiting encrypted traffic to attack organizations through East-West or lateral channels. Specifically developed to address this challenge, Gigamon Precryption technology is a breakthrough solution that will reveal that threat activity and allow us to remediate them in an easy-to-use manner.”
