“With virtualization and the evolution to 5G, carrier networks are going through unprecedented change. Add increased competition from OTT and digital players to this, and CSPs are facing unique challenges,” said Bruce Kelley, Jr., NETSCOUT’s senior vice president, chief technology officer. “In my session, I will lay out the strategic vision for NETSCOUT solutions and how we are providing unparalleled visibility to devices, subscribers, network infrastructure services and experiences that also extends to business analytics and security. This smart visibility has never been more needed than now.”

“As we grow more reliant on our interconnected world, the threat from bad actors bent on compromising critical networks grows more perilous every day. IT and security professionals are under pressure to stay on top of the latest trends,” said Hardik Modi, NETSCOUT’s senior director, Threat Intelligence. “At ENGAGE 19, I will be discussing NETSCOUT’s latest Threat Intelligence Report and sharing the latest trends we are seeing across the security threat landscape.
