Manufacturing organizations are in the middle of a massive digital transformation as they strive to implement Industry 4.0 initiatives. While factories adopt advanced automation, connected machines, and data-driven production models, the network has become a critical operational asset. For both network operations...

The second half of 2025 marked a pivotal shift in the world of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Organizations across the globe faced a perfect storm: Artificial intelligence (AI) matured as an offensive weapon, botnet infrastructure reached new heights with multiterabit attack capacity, and DDoS-for-hire...

In the telecom world, having the network up and running is no guarantee that revenue will do the same. In 5G standalone (5G SA) networks, true network observability—not just monitoring—has become a direct driver of financial performance for communications service providers (CSPs). Today, CSPs operate in an environment...

Insurance transactions have become frequent flyers. A homeowners or auto insurance quote might start in a mobile app, continue through a web portal, and finish with an agent in a contact center. What feels like one interaction actually moves through multiple systems behind the scenes, relying on the infrastructure...

Whatever you happen to do in life (work or personal), you want to get AI to help you become more efficient, get faster, or reduce cost or effort. AI can deliver all this, but it can also backfire and create security, reliability, and accuracy issues that can be difficult to resolve. The radio access network (RAN) is no...

For a large Asia-based financial group, protecting customer-facing services wasn’t just a security priority—it was a regulatory mandate. The group’s environment spanned multiple subsidiaries with a mix of on‑premises data centers plus rapidly expanding public cloud workloads. The organization needed a single...

A transaction either works or it doesn’t. High-profile banking outages have shown that service failures can affect millions of customers and lead to regulatory fines and compensation. Frictionless banking depends on systems that behave predictably under real-world stress. That requires observability across transaction...

The global colocation market is entering a period of sustained expansion—growing from $42 billion in 2024 to a projected $101 billion by 2035, an estimated 8.3 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR). North America leads the market with a more-than 40 percent share, followed by Europe (30 percent), Asia‑Pacific (20...

In offices across the world, the most productive employees are already working with artificial intelligence (AI), and their organizations are just beginning to notice. According to Gallup, “the percentage of U.S. employees who reported using AI at work at least a few times a year increased from 40% to 45% between the...

Conversations about artificial intelligence (AI) in operations tend to focus on the brain: the algorithms. New models promise better automation, faster correlation, and more accurate prediction, yet outcomes may not improve in meaningful ways. The issue is usually not model sophistication, but the quality and structure...

AI. Automation. Zero Trust. They dominate every security strategy document. But there’s a truth sitting underneath all three: none of them work without deep, trustworthy visibility. You can’t continuously verify identities without knowing how they behave. You can’t train AI on incomplete data and expect accurate...

IT workloads can live almost anywhere now, but flexibility does not guarantee consistency. A service can look healthy where it runs and still fail where it’s used. In branch offices and remote sites, distance and connectivity paths shape how systems interact. Performance, then, is defined by the journey between...

Security teams aren’t drowning because the threats improved. They’re drowning because the visibility got worse. The October 2025 commissioned Forrester Consulting study conducted on behalf of NETSCOUT surfaces a problem that every analyst already knows: 61% of survey respondents say their analysts spend more than ten...

As Barcelona prepares to serve up both tapas and terabytes, the Mobile World Congress (MWC) is once again turning this sun-drenched city into the global capital of 5G connectivity. This year’s conference focus—“The IQ Era”—is set to hone in on 5G advances, AI integration, and mobile innovation. And NETSCOUT will be an...

Orphaned applications are a significant driver of shadow IT and a major headache for asset and identity management. We all know the drill: an account should have been deprovisioned years ago, but somehow fell through the cracks. Now, the application is just… sitting there, still running, still exchanging data. It’s...

There’s a simple reason modern security feels harder than it used to: the architecture changed, and visibility didn’t keep up. An October 2025 commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of NETSCOUT highlights this gap in unmistakable terms. Organizations say the most important features are: Real...

Recently, NETSCOUT had the opportunity to sit down for an engaging conversation with Kevin Tolly of the Tolly Group, one of the world’s leading providers of independent validation, verification, and reporting services for the IT industry. The information the Tolly Group shares with its user community, from more than...

NETSCOUT’s consistent focus on technology innovations is evident in this latest announcement of new capabilities to our observability solutions. The focus is on two specific enhancements: Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificate monitoring capabilities that simplify and expedite management...

Most security programs don’t fail because leaders make bad decisions. They fail because leaders make decisions without enough clarity. And clarity is exactly what modern environments have taken away. An October 2025 commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of NETSCOUT shows something every...

Everyone in IT has lived this scene: a sales team can’t pull up a customer record during a call, or a warehouse scanner suddenly stops syncing inventory, and before anyone checks to see what actually happened, someone proclaims, “The network is to blame. It must be down.” It’s a knee-jerk reaction, largely because...
