NETSCOUT ISNG Platform and Arbor Networks Spectrum Delivers
Best-in-Class Smart Data and Superior Analytics
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 24, 2017--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ:NTCT), a leading provider of business
assurance, a powerful combination of service assurance, cybersecurity
and business intelligence solutions, today announced integration between
the Company’s next-generation, real-time information platform, ISNG,
and network threat analysis solution, Arbor
Networks Spectrum™.
This solution brings NETSCOUT’s patented smart data technology to
advanced threat detection, delivering pervasive visibility for the
entire enterprise. Using a common, shared data source will also promote
smooth collaboration between the network and security teams. The result
is faster time to detection and investigation of advanced threats. For
the first time, network and security teams will have access to both
real-time and historical network traffic from a single dashboard, giving
them the Smart Data required for the rapid detection and investigation
of advanced threats hidden on the network.
“NETSCOUT’s approach enables greater collaboration between network and
security teams, helping to ensure that key network data is accessible
and actionable,” said Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst, Enterprise
Strategy Group (ESG). “The Company is leveraging pervasive
instrumentation of enterprise networks to deliver end-to-end visibility
across users, applications, protocols and network data. Together with
Arbor Networks Spectrum security analytics and integrated threat
intelligence – NETSCOUT can help orchestrate and automate key network
and security workflows, helping customers detect and investigate threats
faster than traditional approaches.”
Automate and Orchestrate Key Service Assurance and Security Threat
Detection Workflows with Smart Data from NETSCOUT Solutions
Smart data is comprised of NETSCOUT patented Adaptive Service
Intelligence™ (ASI) technology, which provides unprecedented intranet
traffic visibility, and Arbor Networks Active Threat Level Analysis
System™ (ATLAS), a global threat intelligence infrastructure, which
provides unprecedented internet traffic visibility. This smart data
provides actionable intelligence vital to resolving security threats
quickly and efficiently.
Arbor Networks ATLAS monitors over one-third of all internet traffic
providing near-real-time visibility into today’s emerging threats,
fueling Arbor’s mission to help keep the internet stable and secure.
This dynamic intelligence empowers security and network teams with
relevant, actionable information on the threats facing them within the
increasingly connected world.
NETSCOUT ISNG with ASI technology efficiently analyzes real-time wire
data for a contextual view of service, network and application
performance. It delivers unprecedented scalability and flexibility in
multiple form factors and deployment options: virtual, software and
hardware appliances. NETSCOUT’s technology converts high-volume network
traffic into high value, multi-dimensional metadata in real time -
effectively creating “smart data.” NETSCOUT smart data is collected,
organized, analyzed and contextualized to provide real-time insight into
service performance degradations across physical, virtual and hybrid
cloud environments. With this integration, ISNG becomes the data source
for Arbor Networks Spectrum, “mining” IP traffic intelligence
pervasively and passively across the network.
Now NETSCOUT customers can use Arbor Networks Spectrum with ISNG to:
-
Leverage common service delivery infrastructure in physical, virtual
and cloud environments that gives security teams pervasive visibility
across users, applications, protocols, and network flow data.
-
Provide security teams with superior intelligence based on the
high-resolution wire data using either dedicated or shared ISNG
collectors.
-
Take advantage of smart data from the combined solution to expose and
extract the key potential threat activity across the network, reducing
mean time to resolution of critical security threats.
“With ISNG, we are now delivering what IT, network and security teams
have been craving during a time of profound technology disruption – a
greater level of simplicity along with more visibility and control over
their distributed environments,” said Anil Singhal, president and chief
executive officer, NETSCOUT. “With the integration of Arbor Networks
Spectrum advanced threat capabilities, ISNG customers can leverage their
investment in NETSCOUT solutions to encompass all aspects of IT and
security operations across the enterprise, public sector, and service
provider markets.”
Only NETSCOUT solutions can deliver this powerful combination of smart
data from within the internal network and across the internet with the
context required to make informed decisions quickly across critical
network and security functions.
