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...

NETSCOUT is proud to be recognized as a Leader and Outperformer in the “2026 GigaOm Radar for Network Observability” report. This marks the fifth time we have earned a Leader position, reflecting our steady innovation focused on helping organizations address the growing scale, complexity, and criticality of modern...

Modern information technology (IT) environments move too fast for static inventories to keep up. Unauthorized apps and devices, unmonitored generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools, and temporary cloud resources appear faster than they can be documented, often before systems are fully deployed. These resources...

NETSCOUT is proud to be recognized with eight badges in the G2 Spring 2026 Grid Reports, reflecting strong customer satisfaction and market presence across multiple security and observability categories. G2 is one of the world’s largest and most trusted software marketplaces, where rankings are based on verified...

Manufacturing organizations are in the middle of a massive digital transformation as they strive to implement Industry 4.0 initiatives. While factories adopt advanced automation, connected machines, and data-driven production models, the network has become a critical operational asset. For both network operations...

The second half of 2025 marked a pivotal shift in the world of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Organizations across the globe faced a perfect storm: Artificial intelligence (AI) matured as an offensive weapon, botnet infrastructure reached new heights with multiterabit attack capacity, and DDoS-for-hire...

In the telecom world, having the network up and running is no guarantee that revenue will do the same. In 5G standalone (5G SA) networks, true network observability—not just monitoring—has become a direct driver of financial performance for communications service providers (CSPs). Today, CSPs operate in an environment...

Insurance transactions have become frequent flyers. A homeowners or auto insurance quote might start in a mobile app, continue through a web portal, and finish with an agent in a contact center. What feels like one interaction actually moves through multiple systems behind the scenes, relying on the infrastructure...

Whatever you happen to do in life (work or personal), you want to get AI to help you become more efficient, get faster, or reduce cost or effort. AI can deliver all this, but it can also backfire and create security, reliability, and accuracy issues that can be difficult to resolve. The radio access network (RAN) is no...

For a large Asia-based financial group, protecting customer-facing services wasn’t just a security priority—it was a regulatory mandate. The group’s environment spanned multiple subsidiaries with a mix of on‑premises data centers plus rapidly expanding public cloud workloads. The organization needed a single...

A transaction either works or it doesn’t. High-profile banking outages have shown that service failures can affect millions of customers and lead to regulatory fines and compensation. Frictionless banking depends on systems that behave predictably under real-world stress. That requires observability across transaction...
