NETSCOUT and Palo Alto Networks partner to help customers reduce security risks

NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. announced the completion of validation of its Omnis® Cyber Intelligence (OCI), the central console for its advanced network detection and response solution, with the Palo Alto Networks PanoramaTM management platform, which centrally manages all form factors of Palo Alto Networks market-leading ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewalls. This integration will provide enterprise security operations teams with end-to-end, packet-based visibility at scale, which is critical for quickly and consistently blocking threats. Furthermore, this collaboration enables joint customers to more easily solve network and security challenges.

The combination of NETSCOUT OCI and Palo Alto Networks Panorama streamlines threat detection, speeds up response times, and reduces manual operations. NETSCOUT OCI provides comprehensive visibility into network traffic and identifies Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) early in the attack lifecycle or retrospectively via investigation of packets and layer 2-7 metadata by leveraging Omnis CyberStream scalable deep packet inspection (DPI) and patented Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI) technology. This data is sent to Palo Alto Networks PanoramaTM, a network security management platform that provides easy-to-implement, consolidated policy creation, and centralized management features, to centrally provision Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls and respond to security incidents.

“By integrating the actionable, packet-based and highly scalable, end-to-end visibility technology of NETSCOUT OCI with the powerful threat response of Palo Alto Networks Panorama, we’re helping our joint customers reduce their security risks through better intelligence, efficiency, and speed,” stated Tom Raimondi, chief marketing officer, NETSCOUT. “Our customers benefit by the measures we take to proactively improve their security posture.” 

The integration between NETSCOUT OCI and Palo Alto Networks Panorama is available for on-premises and multi-cloud environments.
