New GigaVUE 6.12 release introduces post-quantum cryptography support, helping organizations counter “harvest-now, decrypt-later” threats and accelerate PQC readiness.
Gigamon has announced GigaVUE 6.12, a major upgrade to its Deep Observability Pipeline, introducing support for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to help enterprises prepare for the next era of cybersecurity. This enhancement enables security teams to identify where encryption is used across their environments, flag weak or non-compliant ciphers, and mitigate risks posed by emerging quantum computing capabilities.
Damian Wilk, General Manager, EMEA Emerging Markets at Gigamon, emphasized the urgency:
“Encrypted traffic now dominates enterprise networks in this region, and the stakes are rising. With the UAE among the most targeted in MEA and GCC threat volumes climbing, security teams need a live map of the cryptography in use and a way to spot weak ciphers before attackers do.”

The new release offers two approaches for visibility: traditional decryption or Gigamon Precryption®, which provides plaintext visibility without “break-and-inspect” methods. It also exports enriched flow metadata to leading analytics and SIEM platforms like Splunk, QRadar, and Elastic, strengthening compliance and threat detection across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
A senior Gigamon product leader added:
“This capability allows organizations to inventory encryption, validate PQC implementations, and phase out insecure TLS/SSL versions—critical steps as we move toward quantum-safe standards.”
Industry analysts predict traditional cryptography could be unsafe as early as 2030, and according to the Gigamon Hybrid Cloud Security Survey, 73% of IT leaders are already planning PQC adoption. Gigamon’s solution supports TLS 1.3, the only widely adopted protocol ready for PQC, and integrates with Gigamon Application Metadata Intelligence (AMI) for deep visibility into encrypted traffic.
By enabling organizations to gain encrypted traffic visibility, integrate with existing security tools, and accelerate PQC transition, Gigamon is helping enterprises build a quantum-resistant security posture today.
