NETSCOUT highlights’ new normal’ DDoS and Omnis Cybersecurity platform at GITEX

NETSCOUT returns to GITEX Technology Week (17–21 October) on stand H1-E28 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. NETSCOUT to highlight its Omnis Cybersecurity platform, the company will discuss how the pandemic has altered corporate digital infrastructures and how the ‘new normal’ Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) intelligence is preferred for businesses in their cybersecurity with this expanded threat surface.

GITEX attracts over 4,500 exhibitors, 400 active investors, and 150,000 trade visitors from 140 countries each year. Exhibitors are urged to display products and services that are helping private and public sector organizations achieve this year’s theme, ‘Creating a Bolder Digital Future Together.’

Omnis Cybersecurity provides enhanced threat detection and response through complete network visibility, highly contextual research, and automated mitigation at the network edge. At the exhibition, NETSCOUT will demonstrate how this supports its customers’ continuing digital transformation, allowing them to avoid the devastating implications of a future cyberattack.

 “Over the past year and a half, many businesses have seen their online operations significantly expand in a short space of time, and digital infrastructures have changed as a result,” said Gaurav Mohan VP Sales, SAARC & Middle East at NETSCOUT.

Further said, “However, as reliance on the cloud increases, as does the associated cyber risk. To meet this changing landscape and avoid a damaging attack, businesses must invest in the right tools to defend the new threat surface, and this must start and end with visibility. We look forward to meeting with our customers, prospects, partners and peers at Gitex to discuss in realtime these important ‘new normal’ trends.”

The bi-annual Threat Intelligence Report from NETSCOUT, which covers the current trends and activities in the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) threat landscape, was issued in September. According to the statistics, cybercriminals launched 5.4 million DDoSattacks in the first half of 2021, a rise of 11% over the same period in 2020. In addition, NETSCOUT predicts that 2021 will be another record-breaking year, with worldwide DDoS attacks expected to top 11 million in 2020.
