Key Takeaway
Darren emphasizes the importance of providing immediate insights and root cause analysis in identifying network issues, eliminating the need for complex workflows. This approach allows operators to quickly understand problems and their underlying causes. The telecommunications sector faces increasing security challenges, particularly from evolving Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. For instance, BT Group processes around 2,000 potential cyberattack signals per second, totaling 200 million threats daily. Darren notes that the sophistication of these attacks poses significant challenges for customers, highlighting the need for advanced security measures.
“It’s about leveraging expert resources to bring outcomes to the forefront while also providing customers with the information that led to those results,” Darren explains.
Rather than requiring operators to navigate complex workflows to pinpoint issues, the system delivers immediate insights along with a thorough root cause analysis.
Darren adds: “Instead of having to sift through a workflow to identify the problem, it presents the issue right away and allows them to view all the underlying root cause analysis.”
Identifying network problems
The security challenges faced by telecommunications providers are increasingly complex, especially regarding Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Netscout indicates that modern attacks are constantly evolving, even during the attack itself.
Telco leader BT Group, in particular, processes approximately 2,000 signals of potential cyberattacks every second, amounting to 200 million threats daily.
“On the security front, a significant challenge we observe among our customers is that the attacks they encounter are becoming increasingly sophisticated,” Darren notes.
