Spire Solutions, Gigamon partner to help Middle East firms enhance network visibility

Spire Solutions has recently announced its distribution partnership with network visibility and traffic monitoring firm Gigamon.

While network security and monitoring is crucial due to increasing volumes of data and growing cybersecurity concerns, many organizations fall short of their network visibility goals. According to a recent study by Vanson Bourne, approximately 67 percent of companies say that network blind spots are one of the biggest challenges they face when trying to protect their data.

Through the partnership, Spire Solutions and Gigamon seek to address customer challenges related to visibility across all networks, tiers and applications.

Gigamon provides active visibility into physical and virtual network traffic, enabling stronger security and superior performance.

Vijay Babber, senior channel manager, Middle East and Africa, Gigamon, said, “In today’s world, organisations are under immense pressure to simultaneously identify performance bottlenecks and secure a broader potential attack surface. Gigamon enables organisations to run fast, stay secure and innovate in the digital economy by providing complete Visibility and intelligence on all data in motion.

He added, “Through our strategic partnership with Spire Solutions, leveraging their expertise, experience and coverage, we aim to help customers in the Middle East holistically secure their digital domains.”

Siddhartha Murthinty, Chief Solutions Architect, Spire Solutions, said, “The appeal of improving network visibility for customers is the boost it provides to incident response: better network visibility allows you to monitor network traffic for malicious behavior and potential threats more closely. By partnering with Gigamon we can be assured that clients in the region will gain unrivaled visibility while potential security issues are thwarted.”
