FeatureModern-day enterprise networks are complex, as they routinely encompass internal, branch office, virtual, and public cloud environments. The threat surface is expanding, and the number of cyber-attacks is increasing. NETSCOUT Omnis Security is an advanced threat analytics and response platform that provides the scale, scope, and consistency required to secure today’s digital infrastructure.
This solution provides comprehensive and consistent network visibility and allows cybersecurity teams to conduct expedient and effective threat detection and response. Security teams can use Omnis Cyber Investigator to mine NETSCOUT Smart Data for real-time, high-quality insights that power highly contextual investigation and threat hunting.
Doing business in today’s digital economy demands agility and corporate digital infrastructures have changed profoundly in response
Cyber-attacks continue to make headlines almost every day, and threat actors continue to innovate new attack tactics. When it comes to threats, innovation happens swiftly and continuously, especially when it comes to parting unsecured organisations from their money.
Distributed Denial of Service DDoS attacks continue to increase in prevalence, as cybercriminals target enterprise digital infrastructures. According to the recently published NETSCOUT threat intelligence report, adversaries launched approximately 5.4 million distributed DDoS attacks in the first half of 2021, an 11 percent increase from the same period in 2020.
Security teams must thus adopt technologies that speed up operations, optimise costs, and improve performance
Adversaries have also developed new DDoS attack techniques designed to evade traditional defences. Moreover, ransomware gangs added triple extortion attacks to their service offerings. By combining file encryption, data theft, and DDoS attacks, threat actors have hit a ransomware trifecta designed to increase the possibility of payment.
Attacks will only grow more complex, and threat actors will continue to discover and weaponise new attack vectors designed to exploit the vulnerabilities found in our digital world. To sustain their digital transformation efforts and protect their businesses, CISOs and their organisations must realise that today, security is considered a key performance indicator KPI, along with the traditional KPIs for reliability, performance, and availability.

Security teams must thus adopt technologies that speed up operations, optimise costs, and improve overall performance while protecting the integrity of the network.
The Middle East has seen a surge of cyberattacks ranging from phishing, scams, data breaches, and ransomware in the past few months. The consequences for enterprises ranged from critical data loss to financial damage.
Thus, smart technologies and solutions such as advanced threat detection and response platforms and analytics solutions will become more critical than ever. Moreover, hybrid cloud and on-premises, fully managed solutions encompassing threat intelligence and attack mitigation will also become more crucial.
The consequences for enterprises ranged from critical data loss to financial damage.
This will allow CISOs to protect critical infrastructures such as Internet circuits, routers, VPN gateways, and firewalls vital to enterprise operations.
Companies need to make ongoing investments in security to adapt to today’s constantly evolving threat tactics. The more robust a defence is, the more capable a company will be to fend off the growing number of cyber threats. As companies race to the cloud and expand activities across a globally distributed digital ecosystem, they must also reinvent cybersecurity to defend this expanded threat surface. And for that, comprehensive network visibility is critical.
To sustain digital transformation organisations must realise that security is considered a key performance indicator along with traditional KPIs.
