The challenge? Identifying where latency originates, tracing performance degradation, and isolating root causes across distributed environments. Here's what IT teams need to know about closing those visibility gaps.

AI is only as effective as the operational data behind it. Traditional telemetry provides valuable insights, but missing context can lead to inaccurate conclusions. NETSCOUT Smart Data delivers high-fidelity intelligence for more reliable AI-driven operations.

Shadow AI doesn't wait for IT approval. And the risks don't wait for you to catch up.

If you've ever spent hours chasing down a network issue, you're going to want to see this. Faster answers. Less digging. More doing. Curious? You should be.

It doesn't take as many compromised devices to launch a massive DDoS attack as it used to. Individual botnet nodes are becoming more capable, changing what attackers can accomplish with less infrastructure. See what else is changing in our latest DDoS Threat Intelligence Report. netscout.link/6016BHV7Rs

An alert is just the starting point. Network evidence helps security teams validate suspicious activity, trace communications, and determine the scope of an incident. A repeatable, evidence-based investigation process leads to better response decisions. Explore practical approaches to threat investigation and cyber resilience. netscout.link/6012BHrnw2

Give AI agents the trusted, real-time Smart Data they need to move from simple queries to autonomous, multistep investigations. Complex problems. Faster resolution. Human oversight at every step.

Keeping up with DDoS is harder when attack volume alone doesn’t tell you what your defenses need to handle. Our latest DDoS Threat Intelligence Report connects changing attack methods, sources, and duration to the challenges facing security and network teams. Download the report to inform detection priorities, review mitigation coverage, and plan for threats that bandwidth alone won’t reveal. netscout.link/6012BHJAxu

Finally, some good news about AI and network data: you may not need more of it. Trusted, contextual network intelligence helps operations teams pinpoint service issues, subscriber impact, and root cause without AI sorting through mountains of telemetry.

You can have the right people, tools, and response plan. The real question is whether they’re ready when an attacker puts them to the test. Understanding your risks, strengthening defenses, and preparing to respond can mean the difference between a contained incident and a costly business disruption. netscout.link/6016BHzGhy

DDoS attackers aren't reinventing the playbook. They're making it more powerful, more accessible, and harder to defend against. See what the latest threat intelligence reveals.

Great data drives better decisions, but great people drive what's next! A huge thank you to our customers, partners, analysts, and employees for making ENGAGE a place where fresh perspectives, meaningful connections, and new possibilities come together. #MyENGAGE

Feeding AI more data sounds smart. Until the bills arrive. More noise, higher costs, less reliable results. Discover why better data, not more data, is the key to smarter AI.

DDoS threats are escalating. Our 1H 2026 Threat Intelligence Report reveals 9.1 million attacks worldwide and a 1,286% surge in attacks exceeding 1Tbps or 1Gpps, as shifting attack tactics challenge mitigation strategies. See what the data reveals:

Only 42% of IT professionals are fully confident in their observability strategy. Discover how unified observability improves cross-domain correlation, accelerates root cause identification, and helps reduce MTTR.

Speed alone won't stop sophisticated DDoS attacks. Precision matters. Packet-level evidence helps distinguish malicious traffic from legitimate users, enabling automated mitigation without unnecessary disruption. Why human judgment still matters.

Slow transactions can hide across apps, APIs, clouds, and networks. Smart Data captures interactions in context to help banking teams find root causes faster and reduce MTTR. Banking on AI? Bank on better data.

Three words. Plenty of work for IT and security teams. CISA’s 3Rs focus on reducing vulnerabilities, replacing end-of-support devices, and preparing to recover quickly when disruption happens. Because cyber resilience isn’t a checkbox. It’s something you build. Explore the 3Rs of cybersecurity. netscout.link/6013BH8ZN9

Shadow IT makes troubleshooting harder when applications sit outside established monitoring. Observed network activity provides another source of evidence, revealing how unknown applications communicate and what they depend on.faster.

CDNs have the capacity to absorb large attacks. But lower-volume, stealthier threats can be harder to spot, allowing them to slip through and reach your organization before they're detected. If your DDoS strategy is built around absorbing the biggest attack possible, there's another side of the problem worth considering. Some attacks aren't trying to overwhelm all that capacity. They're trying to slip through it. netscout.link/6019BGApKR
