Boost Incident Response with NETSCOUT Adaptive Threat Analytics
▼ Summary
– NETSCOUT launched Adaptive Threat Analytics, an enhancement to its Omnis Cyber Intelligence NDR solution, aimed at speeding up incident response and reducing risk.
– Cybersecurity teams struggle with alert fatigue, fragmented visibility, and AI-powered threats, taking an average of 73 days to contain incidents.
– Comprehensive network visibility, especially during the ‘Analyze’ phase, is critical for effective threat detection and response.
– Adaptive Threat Analytics uses continuous packet capture, metadata storage, and flexible querying to enable faster threat investigation and proactive hunting.
– Omnis Cyber Intelligence integrates AI-driven correlation to unify events into actionable incidents, improving scalability and compatibility with SIEM, SOAR, or XDR systems.
Modern cybersecurity teams need faster, smarter ways to combat evolving threats. NETSCOUT’s latest innovation, Adaptive Threat Analytics, enhances its Omnis Cyber Intelligence platform, giving security professionals powerful tools to accelerate threat investigation and response. This upgrade arrives at a critical time, with organizations still averaging 73 days to contain incidents despite improvements in detection technology.
The cybersecurity landscape grows more challenging daily. Alert fatigue, overwhelming data volumes, and sophisticated AI-powered attacks create gaps in traditional defense strategies. What sets Adaptive Threat Analytics apart is its real-time network packet capture and metadata storage, which operates independently of detection systems. Built-in packet decoding and a flexible query language allow teams to investigate threats proactively rather than reacting to fragmented alerts.
Visibility remains a cornerstone of effective security operations. John Grady, principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, emphasizes how expanding attack surfaces demand continuous monitoring of north-south and east-west traffic. Without this unified view, response teams struggle to pinpoint threats accurately. NETSCOUT’s solution addresses this by correlating isolated events into high-fidelity incidents, painting a complete picture of attack chains from start to finish.
Integration plays a key role in maximizing efficiency. Omnis Cyber Intelligence seamlessly connects with SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms, eliminating silos that slow down response times. Jerry Mancini, NETSCOUT’s senior director, highlights how the platform transforms raw data into actionable insights, helping teams shift from reactive triage to precise, knowledge-driven decisions. This approach significantly reduces mean time to resolution, a critical metric for overburdened security teams.
By combining AI-driven analysis with deep packet inspection, Adaptive Threat Analytics equips organizations to stay ahead of adversaries. The result? Faster containment, reduced risk, and a stronger security posture in an era where every second counts.
