FRAMING THE FUTURE

AI & A New Perspective on Observability

Gigamon & Exclusive Networks EMEA Partner Summit

1.30 pm Thursday 23rd April 2026, National Portrait Gallery, London

Gigamon Header
 Just as a great portrait reveals far more than a face, today’s cybersecurity demands more than surface‑level visibility. In an era of hybrid cloud, encrypted traffic and AI‑driven threats, what you cannot see can seriously damage your customer’s business and your compliance posture.

AI is now actively conducting cyber operations, not just assisting attackers, and new regulations such as the UK’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill and CCPA‑style frameworks are transforming CISO accountability with mandatory 24‑hour breach reporting and severe fines for non‑compliance. At the same time, legacy SOC workflows are buckling under the strain of data volume and analyst overload, making embedded AI and automation essential to scalable security operations.

Join Gigamon and Exclusive Networks at the National Portrait Gallery for an exclusive EMEA Partner Summit that will show how deep observability, AI‑driven analytics and network‑derived metadata can help you and your customers thrive in this new landscape.
