Course Content
The Gigamon Visibility and Analytics Fabric is an essential element in any monitoring or security strategy. This 1-day course focuses on building inline SSL/TLS decryption solutions. Training is conducted through comprehensive discussions, real-world use cases, and practical hands-on labs. If you are planning on implementing SSL/TLS decryption as part of your Gigamon deployment, this is a great additional day of training to help you achieve success.
Who should attend
The primary target audiences for the course are:
- Security Ops teams that need to understand how Gigamon inline SSL/TLS decryption solutions function in relation to designing and deploying visibility solutions utilizing these features.
- Network Ops teams that are familiar with Gigamon, and will be implementing a Classic or Flexible Inline Bypass solution with SSL/TLS decryption. These include roles like architects, admins, and operators.
