When America’s founders declared independence in 1776, communication traveled at the speed of a horse. Messages moved between colonies via riders, ships, and handwritten letters. Information that today can be transmitted across the country in milliseconds often took days or weeks to arrive. As the nation celebrates its...

Communications service provider (CSP) networks have evolved from static infrastructure into dynamic, multidomain ecosystems spanning radio-access network (RAN), transport, core, and cloud. While modern observability provides visibility into real-time events, it falls short of answering the more critical questions...

NETSCOUT is proud to announce that multiple solutions have earned Leader badges in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid Reports. These recognitions reflect continued customer confidence in NETSCOUT’s ability to help organizations protect, assure, and optimize the complex digital environments their businesses depend on every day.

As AIOps’ mission grows more vital to enterprises and service providers, so too does the demand for enormous volumes of data. However, with that avalanche of data comes a rising cost, a fact that can’t be ignored. In addition, operations teams frequently find themselves drowning in information, yet starving for...

If you believe the hype, AI is on the verge of “taking over” the radio-access network (RAN), yet a new report from Senza Fili reveals the situation is far less dramatic. In “ Is AI taking over the RAN?,” Senza Fili Principal Analyst Monica Paolini suggests that AI is not replacing the RAN but rather exposing the limits...

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have become increasingly accessible, commercialized, and disruptive. As reported by Yahoo News, European law enforcement agencies recently identified more than 75,000 individuals suspected of purchasing or using DDoS-for-hire services capable of overwhelming websites...

The golden rule of data used to be “more is better.” For years, enterprises spent millions of dollars overengineering analytics pipelines around that idea. But something was missing. Something critical. NETSCOUT Smart Data emerged from that deeper realization: What if that data doesn’t fully reflect what’s actually...

Most threat hunting starts with a question: What are we missing? That question matters because attackers rarely use one clean, repeatable mode of operation. They move across systems, accounts, applications, segments, and cloud environments, looking for new vulnerabilities to exploit. Some activity appears in endpoint...

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks continue to grow in scale, frequency, and sophistication, forcing organizations to rethink not just how they defend against attacks, but how much visibility and control they have over those defenses. At the center of this shift is a fundamental architectural choice: black...

Earning industrywide recognition two years in a row is very rewarding. Achieving that same honor six consecutive times makes a statement. Being selected by Intellyx for its 2026 Digital Innovator Award as an industry disruptor and innovator is a validation of NETSCOUT’s long-held commitment to blazing new trails. At...

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...
