Vizst named Gigamon's EMEA Partner of the Year 2025

Gigamon has named UK-based security services provider Vizst Technology its EMEA Partner of the Year for 2025, as the network visibility vendor places renewed emphasis on its regional channel ecosystem.

The award is part of Gigamon's partner programme across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Vizst is a member of Gigamon's UK Catalyst partner group, which Gigamon positions as specialist firms that deliver services around its products.

Over the past four years, Vizst has expanded across professional services, critical national infrastructure, education and enterprise segments. It provides managed security services alongside consulting and implementation.

Channel focus

Gigamon sells through partners and also works directly with large organisations. Channel relationships have become more important as buyers consolidate security suppliers and manage the operational demands of hybrid cloud environments.

GenAI projects and broader cloud adoption have also increased demand for visibility into network traffic and application activity. Security teams say rising data volumes and distributed architectures can create blind spots that complicate detection and investigation.

Gigamon's core product line centres on what it calls a Deep Observability Pipeline. It collects network-derived telemetry such as packets, flows and application metadata, then feeds that data into security, cloud and observability tools.

Vendors in this market typically argue that better access to network-level data improves threat detection and incident response. They also say it can reduce the number of tools needed to achieve coverage across environments.

Gigamon cited findings from its Hybrid Cloud Security Survey of the United Kingdom, France and Germany, reporting that 90 percent of security and IT leaders in those countries agreed deep observability is now a foundational element of security.

Integrated stack

Vizst has packaged an approach around Gigamon's technology through a platform it calls Vizion by Vizst. It combines Gigamon telemetry with other security products, including Vectra's AI-driven threat detection and Forescout's OT and IoT security tools.

This type of integration reflects a broader trend in managed security, as providers combine multiple vendor products into a single operating model. Buyers increasingly want clearer outcomes around compliance reporting, incident handling and service levels, rather than standalone tools.

In regulated industries, network visibility often supports audit evidence and data-handling controls. Critical national infrastructure operators and public sector organisations also face heightened expectations around resilience and operational continuity.

Gigamon and Vizst pointed to a customer example involving MobileID, a fraud prevention and mobile authentication company. Vizst deployed Gigamon's Deep Observability Pipeline at MobileID, which the companies said met compliance and visibility requirements and improved operational efficiency.

Partner recognition

Awards are a common feature of channel ecosystems, as vendors reward partners for sales performance, service delivery and market development. For partners, recognition can strengthen credibility with customers and help differentiate them in competitive procurement processes.

Vizst describes itself as a privately owned, UK-based cyber managed security services provider. It also operates in networking and collaboration technology, including visual solutions and meeting room services.

Gigamon says it has more than 4,000 customers globally, including many Fortune 100 organisations and major mobile network providers. It also counts governments and education organisations among its customers.

Sam Lambert, EMEA Channel Director at Gigamon, said:

"Vizst shares our focus on innovation and customer success, making them an exceptional partner. They have achieved outstanding results this year, implementing strategic initiatives to expand their cloud capabilities and delivering measurable value to customers across industries. Their success reflects the strength of our wider partner ecosystem, which continues to drive innovation and resilience for organisations worldwide."

Richard Betts, CEO of Vizst Technology, said:

"At Vizst Technology, we've always taken a deliberately focused approach-building long-term partnerships and going an inch thick and a mile deep on the technologies that deliver transformational success for our customers. Our collaboration with Gigamon allows us to design and deploy architectures that provide meaningful visibility, control and resilience at scale. This recognition reflects the strength of that partnership and the outcomes we're delivering together, and we look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with Gigamon as we support customers across EMEA."
