Security teams can’t stop what they can’t see. In today’s distributed, high-speed environments, threats move quickly—and disconnected alerts without context only slow response. NETSCOUT’s Omnis CyberStream and Omnis Cyber Intelligence deliver a network detection and response solution built on deep packet visibility that helps organizations uncover threats sooner, understand them fully, and act with confidence.

Powered by decades of packet-level expertise, the platform captures and analyzes network traffic at its source, providing real-time threat detection and continuous historical evidence. Instead of forwarding massive volumes of data to a central location, intelligence is applied at the point where traffic is collected. This approach reduces infrastructure costs, scales to the world’s largest networks, and ensures comprehensive coverage across complex environments.

Detection goes beyond simple signatures. The solution evaluates traffic using multiple techniques, including indicators of compromise, behavioral analysis, policy violations, and changes in attack surface, to alert teams of high-priority threats quickly and accurately. By correlating activity in real time, it reduces noise and helps teams focus on what truly matters.
Equally important, the platform preserves packet-based evidence to support thorough investigations. Security teams can review what happened before, during, and after an alert without relying solely on triggered events. Continuous packet capture and metadata retention enable retrospective analysis, proactive threat hunting, and faster root-cause determination. Instead of chasing fragmented alerts, analysts gain a complete, case-based view of incidents, significantly reducing investigation time.

The result is faster insight and faster action. By shrinking the gap between detection and response, organizations lower the time it takes to understand an attack and contain it, minimizing operational disruption and business risk.

Designed for hybrid infrastructures, the solution provides consistent visibility across data centers, branch offices, colocation facilities, and public cloud environments. It also integrates seamlessly with existing security tools, enriching workflows with packet-level context and strengthening overall security operations.

With pervasive visibility, actionable intelligence, and built-in investigative workflows, NETSCOUT’s Omnis CyberStream and Omnis Cyber Intelligence help organizations move from reactive alert handling to confident, evidence-driven response, protecting critical systems and data wherever they operate.
