In this episode of the Endace Packet Forensics Files, Michael Morris talks with Martyn Crew, Senior Director, Solutions Marketing and Partner Technologies at Gigamon, a 30-year veteran in the cyber security and network management space.
Martyn shares his expertise on the limitations and risks associated with exclusively using log and meta-data as the primary resources for your security team's investigations. He discusses various use cases where network traffic and full packet data can play a crucial role in security investigations, highlighting the potential oversights that could occur when teams rely solely on log data.
Martyn recommends how to address the scalability challenges of leveraging full-packet data and delves into the storage and retention obstacles that many organizations fear when looking at solution options.
Finally, Martyn suggests how to achieve a balance with telemetry sources and costs for your SOC team, and shares some key considerations for maintaining visibility in your hybrid cloud infrastructure - encompassing both on-prem and public or private cloud environments.
