NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, a global leader in performance management, cybersecurity, and DDoS protection, has announced powerful updates to its Omnis Cyber Intelligence Network Detection and Response [NDR] platform. These enhancements bring cutting-edge behavioral analytics aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Offering organizations early detection of advanced threats such as ransomware, suspicious traffic, and unauthorized access attempts. The updates also improve remediation processes and help organizations meet stringent compliance standards.
“Digital resilience allows enterprises to continuously operate and quickly leverage digital opportunities to serve their customers. Especially during economically challenging times.” Stated Fernando Montenegro, senior principal analyst, Omdia. “A mature cyber strategy is key to digital resilience. Comprehensive security controls require organisations to deploy technology such as Omnis Cyber Intelligence to continuously monitor their networks. So they can react to and mitigate threats early before they impact their operations.”
Key Enhancements to Omnis Cyber Intelligence:
Enhanced ATT&CK Alignment: A new security events dashboard enables security teams to quickly toggle views of threats aligned with ATT&CK tactics, helping prioritize, investigate, and remediate incidents with greater efficiency.
Expanded Behavioral Analytics: Advanced analytics now allow earlier detection of complex, multi-stage attacks such as ransomware and abnormal network activity, minimizing potential impact.
Malicious File Detection: The platform’s threat detection capabilities have been expanded to identify both known and unknown zero-day threats, enhancing overall security posture.
Host IP Address Enrichment: Alerts now include detailed host and machine name identification, streamlining threat investigation and response for SecOps teams.
Open Integration Framework: A new open framework allows seamless integration with third-party solutions, including firewalls, endpoint detection, and SIEM/SOAR/XDR platforms, enabling rapid response actions like blocking malicious IPs or isolating compromised endpoints.
As regulations such as the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act [DORA] set to take effect on January 17, 2025, organizations are prioritizing effective, network-centric approaches to compliance. Omnis Cyber Intelligence’s continuous deep packet inspection, advanced behavioral analytics, and flexible integration capabilities provide the foundation for enhanced security and compliance, empowering businesses to fortify their digital resilience.
“NETSCOUT helps its customers strengthen their digital resilience by enabling easier detection, faster response, and more effective recovery from cyber threats,” stated Jerry Mancini, senior director, office of the CTO, NETSCOUT. “The new functionality we’ve added to our Omnis Cyber Intelligence platform helps organisations improve their security posture and better react to an ever-changing threat landscape while supporting compliance and reporting needs.”
