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.

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...
