[11] In July 2012 the company filed for an IPO, and then went public on June 11, 2013, on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “GIMO”.

[17] In January 2018, the company was acquired by Elliott Management Corporation and The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) for US$1.6 billion.

[20] Two years later, in December 2021, Gigamon partnered with Cirrus Networks to offer managed security services to governments and large enterprises in Australia.

With its Active Visibility, Gigamon could decrypt SSL traffic, better provide multi-tier security, and support 100 Gig-E and 40-Gig E networks.

[22] In April 2015, the company released the framework Software Defined Visibility to be used by customers, security and network equipment vendors, and managed service providers.

It uses traffic visibility fabric to extract scalable metadata to counter Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).

[31] In 2021, Gigamon released Hawk, the first elastic visibility and analytics fabric for all data in-motion in a cloud network.

[33] In November, Gigamon announced a partnership with InfoVista to address “digital transformation and next-generation challenges in areas such as network slicing and service level agreement monetization across the 5G core, Open RAN and mobile private networks.”[34] Gigamon Precryption™ technology is an automated solution that provides plaintext visibility into encrypted communications across cloud, virtual or container workloads.
