Intellyx names NETSCOUT a 2026 Digital Innovator for the sixth straight year, recognizing its innovation in observability and AIOps.

Threat hunting does not fail because security teams lack tools. It fails because the tools are often used as separate workspaces instead of connected parts of the same investigation. A security information event management (SIEM) or extended detection and response (XDR) solution collects and correlates events. Endpoint...

“Dump everything first, structure it later” is a risky data migration strategy. In a large enterprise, moving petabytes across a network is nerve-racking and expensive, so many increasingly move applications, analytics, and processing closer to where the data already resides. That’s a trap. Software engineer Dave...

In the race to 5G-Advanced and 6G, the “self-healing network” has moved from a whiteboard concept to a boardroom mandate. For next-generation networks, the promise is clear: an autonomous infrastructure that predicts failures before they impact the bottom line and remediates them without human intervention. But as...

How successful do IT teams feel they are at managing networking and security in the public cloud? Just over a third (36 percent) of IT professionals surveyed think their organization is completely successful in these environments. In reporting this finding, Enterprise Management Association (EMA) shared the top...

The old way used to be all about observability, dashboards, aggregated KPIs, human correlation, and manual intervention. That world is changing with AI. — Donogh O’Reilly, Vice President of Sales for NETSCOUT Artificial intelligence (AI) no longer sits on the fringe of the service provider’s transformation strategy. It...

A lead architect for a global bank sits in a dark office at 1:00 a.m. Two hours ago, her team finished a final migration cutover, moving the bank’s core lending application from on-premises servers to a multicloud environment. On paper, everything checked out. Now her phone won’t stop vibrating. Severity-1 automated...

Today’s communication service providers (CSPs) sit at the center of some of the world’s most demanding digital services—none more mission critical than international mobile banking. Because financial institutions must serve their customers wherever they may travel, expectations for instant, secure transaction...

For global financial institutions, digital availability is not optional—it is foundational to trust, revenue, and regulatory compliance. When customer-facing services are expected to operate flawlessly, even seconds of downtime can translate into significant financial and reputational impact. This reality was put to...

As we transition through the complexities of 5G standalone architectures, network slicing, and edge computing, the sheer volume of operational data has surpassed the limits of human processing. The ocean of data being generated by every network event and subscriber interaction is a double-edged sword; it holds the key...

Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) has published its “Network Management Megatrends 2026” report, spotlighting automation, hybrid and multicloud networks, and artificial intelligence (AI) transformation. Published on a biennial basis since 2008, the “Network Management Megatrends” surveys IT professionals on how...

Imagine a parent attempting to access Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to feed the family, only to meet a perpetual loading screen. Or a resident rushing to file an unemployment claim before a weekly deadline, only to find the portal timing out. For state and local governments, these are not...

As 5G networks continue to evolve, service providers face a familiar challenge: how to scale services, meet increasingly stringent enterprise expectations, and generate new revenue—without introducing unsustainable operational complexity. Network slicing has emerged as a foundational capability for addressing these...

When it comes to everything artificial intelligence (AI), the network is key. That is why this year’s Cisco Live theme is— the network as the foundation of the AI era! And in a bit of a twist this year, the old marketing slogan “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” gets turned on its ear, because this seminal event...

Air travel is entering another high-stakes summer, and early activity shows that global air passenger demand increased by 3.8 percent in January 2026 versus 2025. Ticket prices remain elevated due to rising fuel costs, demand is strong, and passengers, conditioned by years of disruption, are no longer willing to...

In today’s hyperconnected world, “best effort” is no longer good enough. Not for network operators. Not for enterprises. And certainly not for the high‑stakes environments where uptime equals revenue, safety, and customer trust. When a global Tier 1 carrier needed flawless network performance during a major stadium...

In a blog in late January, we discussed new NETSCOUT nGenius capabilities designed to help organizations prevent service disruptions. With Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificate lifespans now shrinking dramatically, and playing a critical role in digital trust, it’s worth examining why...

In modern telecommunications networks, especially those built on 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards, operators face the challenge of managing immense volumes of data generated by radio-access and core infrastructure. Some networks are already producing as many as 1 million transactions per second...

Almost every click ends up in a data center. Most people never stop to think about that because the interaction feels immediate, almost effortless. Step inside a data center and you’ll see rows of processors and networking hardware moving data across internal networks and remote locations. They support everything from...

Network slicing on 5G standalone (5G SA) networks holds tremendous promise for communications service providers (CSPs). It’s also one of the clearest paths to 5G monetization. The very idea of delivering many purpose-built “virtual networks,” each tuned for a different customer, application, or performance tier, is...
