NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, a leading provider of cybersecurity, service assurance and business analytics solutions, announced the release of OmnisCyber Intelligence (OCI).
OCI is the market-leading, fastest, and most scalable network security software solution built on the industry's leading network monitoring, packet recording and analysis technology. The solution detects and investigates suspicious activity in real time and afterwards, and identifies threats early in the attack lifecycle. This prevents the spread of infections, fends off future attacks and identifies endangered systems.
OmnisCyber Intelligence (OCI)
As cyber attacks increase, IT security teams are finding that their existing tools are unable to withstand this growing threat, and their spending on them and their cyber risk are spiraling out of control. This is due to the typical data sets with which these tools are fed. They are reactive, not granular, and do not go as far as the earliest indicators of a potential attack.
NETSCOUT's approach is to leverage its market-leading visibility technology to increase the volume and quality of security data and make it available to security teams in real time. The OmnisCyber Intelligence solution consists of an analysis stack and cybersecurity software sensors called OmnisCyberStreams.

NETSCOUT's OCI solution equips security teams with proactive, actionable intelligence to help them:
- Carry out continuous scans and reconnaissance analyzes in order to detect attacks earlier, to minimize the exposure and, in many cases, to thwart the threat.
- Quickly access historical evidence going back far into the past to understand how an attack began, prevent similar violations, and stop ongoing malicious activity.
- monitor the attack surfaces within your infrastructure and optimize the effectiveness of the defense measures used.
- Assess the level of intrusion and the affected assets when attacks occur in order to prevent the spread of malware.
- To act on site, in virtualized data centers and in public clouds and to support the changing usage preferences of a company without influencing the security guidelines and work processes.
- Integrate their security ecosystem through APIs and partnerships with leading providers such as Splunk, Palo Alto Networks and AWS.
As a result, the effectiveness of existing customer security tools and the productivity of analysts improve to counter rising costs and increasing cyber risks.
