NETSCOUT Bolsters Cyber Threat Detection and Response for African Businesses
NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. has enhanced its Omnis Cyber Intelligence Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution with the introduction of Adaptive Threat Analytics. This new feature aims to significantly improve incident response times and mitigate risks for businesses, including those in the rapidly evolving African tech landscape. With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, this update provides a crucial boost to security teams across the continent.
Faster Incident Response: A Critical Need for African Enterprises
Cybersecurity professionals in Africa face a constant struggle against time. The race to detect and effectively respond to threats before causing significant damage is a persistent challenge. Adaptive Threat Analytics helps address this challenge, enabling security teams to swiftly investigate, hunt, and respond to cyber threats. Factors such as alert fatigue, the overwhelming volume of alerts, and the fragmented view created by various security tools are compounding the issue. Moreover, the rise of sophisticated, AI-powered adversaries further necessitates faster, more efficient response plans. McKinsey & Company’s findings underscore the urgency of the situation. While response times to cyber incidents have improved recently, organizations still require an average of 73 days to fully contain an incident. Comprehensive network visibility is essential in the threat detection and incident response process. This holistic view – encompassing both north-south and east-west network traffic – plays a critical role in this process, which is crucial for African tech firms and any entity operating within Africa.
