GUEST OPINION by George Tsoukas, Gigamon ANZ: Today’s powerful digital applications often span multiple tiers running on multiple on-premises and cloud platforms. This can lead to a fragmented, inconsistent view of data in motion and visibility gaps and blind spots that make it hard to deliver a secure, optimal user experience. New technology closes the hybrid cloud visibility gap by providing IT with a single, consistent view into all data in motion from Layers 2–7 and East-West traffic across all platforms, including between clouds. This enables operations and security teams to ensure a positive, secure user experience and to optimise tools and traffic costs.
