Detection is only step one: But here’s where we believe the conversation needs to change. Detection, while critical, is just the first step. The real challenge, and the real value, lies in understanding a threat through the investigation phase.Think about it: an alert tells you something happened. But only investigation tells you what it was, how it happened, and what to do about it. That’s the gap where attackers thrive and where security operations center (SOC) teams often lose valuable time.And this is where network visibility proves its worth beyond being just a “first line of defense.” With full packet capture and deep network intelligence, security teams can pivot from “we detected something” to “we understand everything about it.” That shift is the difference between chasing alerts and actually stopping adversaries in their tracks.
Why NETSCOUT Omnis Cyber Intelligence: At NETSCOUT, we’ve seen this shift firsthand. Omnis Cyber Intelligence isn’t just about spotting anomalies; it’s about giving analysts the complete, packet-level context they need to investigate confidently. By unifying SecOps and NetOps on a shared foundation of visibility, Omnis Cyber Intelligence helps eliminate blind spots that attackers exploit.Because at the end of the day, detection will always be table stakes. Investigation is where the real impact is made. Network packets provide the single source of truth across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments, serving as the foundation that makes it all possible.Learn more about the ESG report.Learn how NETSCOUT Omnis Cyber Intelligence can help by providing comprehensive network visibility with scalable deep packet inspection (DPI) to detect, investigate, and respond to threats more efficiently.
