Gigamon Launches AI Tools For Deep Observability
Multi-phase AI strategy delivers intelligent visibility and automation, sets a new standard for hybrid cloud security and management
Gigamon, a leader in deep observability, today announced the first phase of its multi-year AI strategy, introducing foundational innovations designed to help organizations better secure and manage hybrid cloud infrastructure. The initial offerings include Gigamon AI Traffic Intelligence, which delivers real-time visibility into GenAI and LLM traffic across 17 leading engines to enable data-driven enforcement and policy governance, and GigaVUE Fabric Manager (FM) Copilot, a GenAI-powered assistant that simplifies onboarding, configuration, management, and troubleshooting of Gigamon deployments. By embedding AI into the Deep Observability Pipeline, Gigamon expands its value to customers by eliminating blind spots, strengthening governance, and enhancing operational efficiency across modern hybrid environments.
We're embedding AI directly into the Deep Observability Pipeline to help customers strengthen cybersecurity with practical, easy-to-implement capabilities that keep pace with the speed and complexity of AI adoption.
As GenAI workloads multiply, organizations face surging data volumes, expanding attack surfaces, and growing security risks. One of the most fundamental challenges is simply knowing which AI services are in use. In the 2025 Hybrid Cloud Security Survey of over 1,000 global Security and IT leaders, one in three reported that network traffic has more than doubled due to AI workloads, while 55 percent said their tools are failing to detect modern threats. In response, 88 percent now consider deep observability—combining network-derived telemetry with log data—essential for securing and scaling AI deployments across hybrid cloud infrastructure.
'As GenAI use matures in organizations, we're focused on both AI for security and security for AI,' said Michael Dickman, chief product officer at Gigamon. 'It has never been more true that you cannot secure what you cannot see, making complete visibility into AI traffic and workloads, including shadow AI usage, critical for today's Security and IT teams. That is why we're embedding AI directly into the Deep Observability Pipeline to help customers strengthen cybersecurity with practical, easy-to-implement capabilities that keep pace with the speed and complexity of AI adoption.'
Complete Visibility into AI and GenAI Network Traffic: A New Standard for Cybersecurity
The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline efficiently delivers actionable network-derived telemetry, including packets, flows, and application metadata directly to cloud, security, and observability tools, bringing the complete picture into focus. With the new AI Traffic Intelligence capability, organizations gain real-time visibility into GenAI and LLM activity from 17 leading engines, including ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek. The capability also allows user-defined targeting of additional LLMs beyond the pre-defined set, extending flexibility and reach. For ease of integration, this intelligence is agentless and applies even to encrypted data in motion, surfacing shadow AI usage and enabling more effective, policy-driven governance.
AI Traffic Intelligence enables organizations to:
Gain real-time insights into GenAI and LLM traffic across public, private, virtual, and container environments
Identify shadow AI, or unsanctioned AI usage, to reduce risk and improve oversight
Track usage patterns to inform governance and manage AI-related costs
Empower Security and IT teams with trusted, network-derived telemetry to drive informed decisions
'Gigamon has established itself as a trusted source of granular network data, providing comprehensive visibility across highly complex, distributed environments,' said Bob Laliberte, principal analyst at theCUBE Research. 'As AI increases the complexity and volume of network traffic, clear visibility into GenAI activity has become critical. Gigamon is well-positioned to meet these emerging challenges by delivering the requisite insights to monitor AI usage, regain control, and take decisive action.'
'AI is accelerating digital transformation, but it's also introducing security risks and data challenges across hybrid cloud infrastructure," said Chris Konrad, vice president, Global Cyber at World Wide Technology (WWT). 'By integrating AI into its Deep Observability Pipeline, Gigamon delivers the complete visibility and insights our customers need to detect threats, govern GenAI use, and strengthen cybersecurity best practices. At WWT, we're proud to partner with Gigamon to shape the future of hybrid cloud security by delivering the deep observability customers require.'
GigaVUE-FM Copilot Simplifies Deployment and Day-to-Day Operations
Gigamon also introduced GigaVUE-FM Copilot, a GenAI-powered assistant designed to help organizations onboard, configure, manage, and troubleshoot their Gigamon environments with greater speed and accuracy. Embedded directly within GigaVUE-FM, GigaVUE-FM Copilot enables Security and IT teams to reduce time to insight, simplify complex workflows, and improve productivity.
Through a natural language interface, GigaVUE-FM Copilot securely connects users directly to the internal knowledge base and LLM contained within technical documentation, deployment guides, and release notes, delivering fast, context-aware answers. This capability empowers Security, IT, and DevOps teams to resolve issues independently, whether or not they are power users, and reduce reliance on Tier 3 support resources.
With GigaVUE-FM Copilot, organizations can:
Simplify configuration and management using GenAI-assisted support
Accelerate onboarding and feature discovery to improve readiness
Instantly search documentation to troubleshoot and apply best practices
Reduce Tier 3 support escalations by enabling broader self-service
Improve operational efficiency across teams and environments
Availability and Roadmap
The AI Traffic Intelligence capability is available now for all GigaVUE Cloud Suite customers. GigaVUE-FM Copilot is in early access for select customers, with general availability in 2H25.
Additional AI-powered innovations are underway as part of the multi-phase strategy and will be spotlighted at the Gigamon Visualyze Bootcamp, the company's virtual customer conference taking place Sept. 9–11.

Post-pandemic hiring finds footing as AI transforms tasks, not jobs
The global labour market is emerging from several years of upheaval, but economists at LinkedIn and OpenAI say a new force—generative AI—is beginning to reshape the nature of work in ways that are uneven across sectors. Speaking at the OpenAI Forum, Dr Karin Kimbrough, Chief Economist at LinkedIn, said, "Right now, I would say the labour market's actually reflecting a lot of macro cyclical effects," rather than widespread AI-driven displacement. She noted the hiring boom of 2021-2022 has since cooled, with companies largely holding onto talent and new hiring remaining cautious. "The labour market's looking for normalcy," Kimbrough said. "There's more competition than there was before, but not so much that people can't find a job." However, this overall stabilisation masks significant disparities. "If you are in what is considered like the knowledge worker space, it might be a lot more competitive for you right now to find the role that you want," she explained. By contrast, "The world is your oyster if you work in [retail, healthcare, or construction] industries." Kimbrough attributes these trends to structural factors and post-pandemic realignments, not solely to AI. "We are seeing just a huge demand and increase in roles \[in healthcare]. So we're seeing the number of roles open up—it's not just that people are looking for a role and are able to find one." While job loss due to AI remains a common fear, Kimbrough emphasised that, at this stage, "It's not elimination so much that we're seeing. It's more just people are adjusting, desperately trying to upskill so they can stay relevant." What is being displaced, she explained, are specific tasks within roles. "It's how they're spending their time in that role that is changing." Ronnie Chatterji, Chief Economist at OpenAI, agreed, saying that workers are "rotating from certain tasks to other tasks" rather than seeing their roles eliminated entirely. LinkedIn's data supports this, with increased emphasis on "AI literacy" - the ability to use AI tools effectively. "One of the fastest growing in-demand skills on the platform by employers is conflict resolution," Kimbrough added. "They're rising in tandem with the demand for AI literacy." Surprisingly, it's workers in more disrupted sectors - such as communications and marketing - who are most aggressively updating their profiles to signal AI capabilities. "They need to signal it because the last thing they want to do is be fighting over a job either because an AI could already do half of it or because someone else can do the other half... with AI." For early-career professionals, the post-pandemic hiring slowdown has been particularly acute. "It's been materially harder for new grads in the last year or so to find a role," Kimbrough said. "Employers are looking at their talent roles being full. Again, no one has quit." However, historical data offers some reassurance. "What we found... was that people catch up," she said. "In the first couple of years of their career, maybe they don't progress as fast, but eventually they catch up." She advised graduates to focus on agility, a willingness to learn, and human skills like communication and collaboration. "Even more important [than AI literacy] is communication skills, collaboration skills... leadership." Kimbrough also spoke about international labour markets, pointing to India as particularly dynamic: "A very young, well-educated, and very dynamic, large domestic economy." Yet she highlighted the challenge of making AI tools locally relevant, citing "accessibility of the digital divide and the relevance" as critical barriers to adoption. Adoption also varies widely by sector. Education, for example, lags significantly behind industries like finance or healthcare in hiring AI-literate talent. "Even so, we see them growing at really rapid rates. Is itIt's just not at the same rate." Kimbrough revealed a shift in hiring strategies, noting that employers have reduced backfilling of vacated roles. Instead, they are prioritising new roles, particularly those related to AI. "If you are working in the AI space... you are just in a position of choice," she said, listing roles such as AI engineer, consultant, and researcher as the fastest-growing on LinkedIn. However, she noted that such an opportunity is not uniform: "If you are in other roles... it's been a little bit more challenging." The evolving job landscape also means career paths are becoming less linear. "It's far more organic, it is far more skills-based," Kimbrough said. "AI is so powerful, it's going to allow you to pivot into many more options for roles." Even at the executive level, LinkedIn data shows leaders now emerge from more diverse backgrounds. "So it's okay to have a broader base," she said. "If the thing you have your heart set on isn't working, go do something else and just get started." The discussion painted a nuanced picture: a stabilising labour market shaped more by macroeconomic tides than AI disruption, at least for now. But as AI adoption deepens, agility, skills signalling, and adaptability may well define success across all sectors.
