The company was founded in 2004 and has more than 4,000 customers worldwide, including financial institutions, healthcare organisations and government agencies.The business generates more than $400m in annual recurring revenue and approximately $170m in EBITDA, according to the sources.Gigamon, Elliott, Siris and Bank of America reportedly declined to comment, while Perella Weinberg Partners reportedly did not respond to a request for comment.Elliott took Gigamon private in 2017 in a transaction that valued the company at roughly $1.6bn. Siris subsequently acquired a minority stake in the business in 2024.
