We’re proud to share that NETSCOUT has been recognized for industry-leading excellence in network detection and response (NDR). This acknowledgment, from Quadrant Knowledge Solutions’ 2025 SPARK Matrix™ for NDR, highlights what our customers already know: NETSCOUT delivers unmatched visibility, precision, and forensic depth across the world’s most complex digital ecosystems.
Below are the strengths that set us apart and continue to define our leadership.
The Visibility Gap No One Wants to Talk About
Many organizations still rely on flow-based data or siloed tools that provide snapshots rather than full context. These tools can tell you that something happened; but not what, not how, and not why.
- This is where visibility breaks down.
- This is where attacks hide.
- This is where risk grows quietly.
NETSCOUT’s Omnis Cyber Intelligence closes this critical gap with a simple yet powerful idea: If you can’t see every signal, you can’t trust any conclusion.
Turning Packets into Understanding
Our proprietary Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI) technology doesn’t just collect packets; it interprets them via patented deep packet inspection (DPI) at scale capabilities. At up to 100 Gbps, ASI transforms raw traffic into enriched Layer 2–7 metadata that reveals behavior, intent, and impact with a level of precision that flow-based tools simply can’t match.
Machine learning, signatures, threat intelligence, and behavioral analytics all become more effective when powered by truth at the packet level. The result? Fewer false positives, deeper context, stronger investigations, and faster answers.
- Visibility becomes clarity.
- Clarity becomes confidence.
- Confidence becomes resilience.
Forensics That Tell the Full Story, Not Just the Ending
A security event is never just a single moment, it’s a sequence—one that can start long before an alert fires, especially in a zero-day threat scenario.
NETSCOUT’s continuous packet capture provides stored history that is independent of detection, so teams can explore that sequence from its earliest footprint to its last, to truly understand what happened before the alert. This empowers analysts to not just understand what happened but also to reconstruct, retrace, and re-imagine the incident with complete fidelity.
In an era where attackers live off the land, pivot silently, and operate in encrypted channels, this kind of longitudinal visibility isn’t optional; it’s essential.
A Borderless Approach to Modern Visibility
Hybrid cloud. Remote work. Containerization. Encryption. Operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) sprawl. The perimeter hasn’t just dissolved; it has dissolved everywhere at once.
That’s why NETSCOUT champions Visibility Without Borders, ensuring every corner of the network (physical, virtual, or cloud-based) speaks the same language of packet-level truth. Whether it’s east-west traffic in a data center or encrypted communication from a remote site, the story remains intact and readable. Where other tools stop at infrastructure boundaries, NETSCOUT keeps going.
The Future Favors the Fully Informed
As networks evolve, attackers adapt. As security stacks expand, complexity grows. But the organizations that win will be the ones that can see clearly, connect the dots instantly, and understand their environments deeply enough to act decisively.
That future belongs to those with true visibility—the kind only NETSCOUT can deliver.
Leadership in NDR isn’t just something we’ve earned; it’s something we’ve engineered through decades of innovation, relentless focus on packet intelligence, and a commitment to helping organizations see what others can’t.
And we’re just getting started.
