NETSCOUT Adaptive Threat Analytics Enhances Incident Response
NETSCOUT SYSTEMS has announced Adaptive Threat Analytics, a new enhancement to its Omnis Cyber Intelligence Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution, designed to improve incident response and reduce risk. Adaptive Threat Analytics enables security teams to investigate, hunt, and respond to cyber threats more rapidly. Cybersecurity professionals face a challenge in the race against time to detect and respond appropriately to cyber threats before it is too late. Alert fatigue, increasing alert volume, fragmented visibility from siloed tools, and cunning AI-enabled adversaries create a compelling need for a faster and more effective response plan. McKinsey & Company noted last year that despite a decline in response time to cyber-related risks in recent years, organizations still take an average of 73 days to contain an incident. In the threat detection and incident response process, comprehensive north-south and east-west network visibility plays a critical role in all phases, but none more so than the 'Analyze' phase between 'Detection' and 'Response.' Adaptive Threat Analytics utilizes continuous network packet capture and local storage of metadata and packets independent of detections, built-in packet decodes, and a flexible ad hoc querying language, enabling more rapid threat investigation and proactive hunting. This provides SOC analysts with the specific knowledge needed to determine and execute the proper response more efficiently. 'Network environments continue to become more disparate and complex. Bad actors exploit this broadened attack surface, making it difficult for security teams to respond quickly and accurately,' said John Grady, principal analyst, cybersecurity, at Enterprise Strategy Group. Due to this, continuous, unified, packet-based visibility into north-south and east-west traffic has become essential for effective and efficient threat detection and incident response.' Omnis Cyber Intelligence's AI-driven correlation stitches disparate events into cohesive, high-fidelity incidents, providing a holistic, actionable view of the entire attack chain. It delivers superior scalability and cost-effective NDR capabilities across complex IT environments and easily integrates into your cybersecurity ecosystems, such as your SIEM, SOAR, or XDR. 'Security teams often lack the specific knowledge to understand exactly what happened to be able to choose the best response,' stated Jerry Mancini, senior director, Office of the CTO, NETSCOUT. 'Omnis Cyber Intelligence with Adaptive Threat Analytics provides 'big picture' data before, during, and after an event that helps teams and organizations move from triage uncertainty and tuning to specific knowledge essential for reducing the mean time to resolution.'

(NASDAQ: NTCT), a provider of observability, AIOps, cybersecurity, and DDoS attack protection solutions, has announced the launch of Adaptive Threat Analytics. This new enhancement to its Omnis Cyber Intelligence Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution is designed to accelerate incident response and reduce organizational risk. Adaptive Threat Analytics enables security teams to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats more rapidly and effectively. The company revealed that cybersecurity professionals often struggle with alert fatigue, fragmented tools, and AI-enabled threats. These factors demand quicker, more accurate response mechanisms. According to McKinsey & Company, the average time to contain a cyber incident remains at 73 days, despite improvements in detection speed. NETSCOUT reported that Adaptive Threat Analytics supports the 'Analyze' phase in the detection-to-response workflow. It leverages continuous packet capture, local storage of metadata and packets, built-in packet decodes, and a flexible querying language. This helps SOC teams gain faster insights and actionable intelligence. John Grady, Principal Analyst for Cybersecurity at Enterprise Strategy Group, stated that growing complexity in network environments makes real-time, packet-based visibility essential. Key features include: Unified north-south and east-west traffic visibility AI-driven incident correlation and holistic attack chain views Seamless integration with SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms Jerry Mancini, Senior Director, Office of the CTO at NETSCOUT, emphasized that the new solution equips security teams with detailed, contextual data before, during, and after an event. This, he said, helps organizations reduce the mean time to resolution.
