Course Overview
The Gigamon Certified Professional (GCP) Boot Camp is a 5-day, instructor-led course that teaches security, network, cloud and sales engineers security fundamentals for implementing Gigamon technologies to feed the right network traffic to the right security tools to monitor data-in-motion as part of a comprehensive security strategy.
The course illustrates the concepts needed by a network visibility specialist, as well as provides hands-on experience in implementing the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline to harnesses actionable network derived intelligence and insights to amplify the power of your cloud, security, and observability tools. This course also provides instruction into the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for implementing deep observability into physical, hybrid, and cloud networks.

- How to select a trustworthy traffic source
- How to implement a packet access solution in a physical network infrastructure
- Methods and options for matching traffic volume with tool capacity
- How to implement packet optimization for analysis
- Connectivity requirements for inline and out-of-band tools
- Approaches and considerations for packet access for inline tools
- How to replicate traffic to out-of-band tools for augmenting inline security
- How to implement tool groupings and load sharing for inline processing
- Traffic sizing for inline security and network analysis tools
- Approaches and considerations for packet access in the cloud
- How to implement a packet access solution in a cloud or hybrid network infrastructure
- How to extract virtualized traffic for use with virtualized and physical tools
- How to perform visibility solution maintenance and operations
