Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the modern business landscape, much like steam and steel shaped the industrial revolutions. Instead of revolutionizing manufacturing processes, AI is transforming IT operations thanks to automation and streamlined processes. Artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps)...

Pervasive network visibility is key to success in the modern enterprise network. It allows IT teams to see beyond technical borders across the entire network and its numerous interdependencies. This enables swifter, more efficient incident response for network performance and security issues to optimize user experience...

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more advanced and widely used, so does its use for nefarious purposes. Bad actors are using AI to increase the efficacy of cyberattacks. AI systems can be leveraged in many types of attacks—including distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, where they optimize the attack to...

Malware has been a constant presence in the digital landscape, evolving from simple viruses to sophisticated, multistage attacks that can cripple entire organizations. As businesses grow more dependent on digital infrastructure, threat actors have adapted their techniques to exploit vulnerabilities in complex systems...

NETSCOUT’s 1H 2024 DDoS Threat Intelligence Report delivers critical intelligence essential for both daily network operations and high-level strategic decision-making. This report underscores the growing complexity of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) threats, including a notable increase in both attack frequency...

NETSCOUT is pleased to announce it has been recognized by Frost & Sullivan as the 2024 Company of the Year in the global network monitoring and service assurance industry category.

Malware is a major risk to enterprises of all shapes and sizes. It takes on many forms to be harder to detect and protect against, increasing the danger it presents. By better understanding what types of malware exist, which are most common, and what their telltale signs are, enterprises can better defend their...

If there is one thing the recent CrowdStrike outage taught today’s leading enterprises, it is that a performance issue in one area can quickly affect an entire environment—and have a lasting customer and business impact. Because of this, IT teams at companies across major industries are seeing the urgent need to take a...

The only thing worse than getting stuck in a bumper-to-bumper traffic jam is getting trapped in an IT war room for hours, days, or even weeks trying to resolve enterprise network problems. In fact, customers using war rooms to troubleshoot their issues tell NETSCOUT it has taken from 15 hours to 6 weeks to resolve a...

If you’ve got Georgia on your mind, there’s probably a good reason. SCTE TechExpo is coming to Atlanta September 24-26, and NETSCOUT will be there too. For the past 40+ years, SCTE TechExpo has been a go-to conference for the broadband community, offering an exceptional opportunity to meet with peers and vendors, share...

In today’s modern digitally transformed environments, enterprises have fully embraced the importance of migrating workloads to the cloud. A 2024 survey of more than 740 tech professionals and IT leaders found that 58 percent of businesses planned to migrate more workloads to the cloud this year—up from 44 percent last...

As telcos continue to roll out 5G networks, it is imperative for them to move beyond traditional network operations and on to a data-driven, adaptive approach for enhanced service delivery and business growth. Although network data can provide information “gold,” it must be mined to accelerate the journey from...

Performance and innovation matter as 5G networks expand from a non-standalone (NSA) to a standalone (SA) environment. This transition compels communications service providers (CSPs) to evolve their hybrid networks to a cloud-native ecosystem. Evolving to 5G SA means service providers must expand their strategies from...

How did we get here? Just a few decades ago, AI was mostly the stuff of sci-fi movies. Today, artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) is emerging as the key to unlocking IT management by using AI to predict the future… basically. As Alan Turing said, “ We are always faced with the need to improve and innovate...

Supply chain management (SCM) systems, customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools... the list goes on. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology is deeply rooted in daily operations across all industries—and success can depend largely on its performance. NETSCOUT research...

Communications service providers (CSPs) increasingly are turning to the creation of artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) teams to position themselves to drive next-generation automation and monetization use cases for 5G standalone (5G SA) and beyond. To facilitate this objective, AIOps needs “high-fidelity...

The telecom sector is experiencing a transformative period, with fixed wireless access (FWA) emerging as a significant growth area amid various challenges. As telecom operators embrace FWA, they face new complexities and risks, particularly concerning the protection of the mobile network core. This blog post delves...

Imagine trying to catch bad actors in a crowded city. They could blend in with the crowd, hide in the shadows, or even disguise themselves. To find them, you’d need eyes everywhere—on every street, in every building, watching every interaction. In the world of cybersecurity, catching a bad actor—be it a hacker, a...

When it comes to the evolution of the modern network environment, all we can say is—we’ve come a long way, baby! Over the years, we’ve progressed from being Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-enabled, operating private data centers that invariably included loads of applications, to today’s virtualized private data...
