Defensive Cybersecurity

“Network Detection and Response powered by Smart Data and global threat intelligence.”

What is Omnis Cyber Intelligence?

Omnis Cyber Intelligence (OCI) is NETSCOUT’s Network Detection and Response (NDR) platform, designed to deliver real-time, packet-based visibility into advanced threats across enterprise and service provider infrastructures.
By leveraging NETSCOUT’s patented Smart Data technology and global ATLAS® threat intelligence, OCI helps security teams detect, investigate, and respond to threats that bypass traditional defenses such as firewalls and endpoint security.

OCI uniquely combines:

• Continuous packet-level visibility,
• Advanced analytics with AI/ML, and
• Integrated forensic investigation workflows.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Network Visibility
  o Monitors traffic across data centers, cloud, edge, and hybrid environments.
  o Provides enriched Smart Data for applications, users, and sessions.
• Threat Detection & Analytics
  o Identifies malware, ransomware, APTs, insider threats, and C2 communications.
  o Detects low-and-slow or stealthy attacks invisible to signature-based tools.
  o Machine learning models enhance anomaly detection.
• Forensic Investigation
  o Full-packet capture and Smart Data context for root cause analysis.
  o Threat timelines and drill-down into conversations, sessions, and packets.
  o Integration with SOC workflows for rapid incident response.
• Integration & Automation
  o Exports enriched telemetry to SIEM, SOAR, and threat intelligence platforms.
  o REST APIs for orchestration and automated playbooks.
• Cloud & Hybrid Ready
  o Supports on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud deployments.
  o Compatible with ISNG, vSTREAM, Edge Sensors, and AI Streamer.

 Benefits for the Client

• Detect the undetected – uncover threats that evade endpoint and perimeter security.
  • Accelerate investigations – reduce dwell time with enriched forensic context.
  • Unify SecOps visibility – single source of truth across networks, cloud, and edge.
  • Improve SOC efficiency – Smart Data reduces noise, focusing analysts on real threats.
  • Strengthen resilience – global ATLAS intelligence adds context from the internet threat landscape.

Complementarity with nGeniusONE

While nGeniusONE and OCI serve different missions, they share the same Smart Data foundation and are highly complementary:

• nGeniusONE → Service Assurance / IT Operations
  • Focus: application and network performance, service availability, user experience.
  • Consumers: NOC, NetOps, IT operations teams.
• OCI → Network Detection & Response
  • Focus: advanced threat detection, forensic investigation, cyber resilience.
  • Consumers: SOC, SecOps, threat hunters.

Together:

• They provide a single, unified Smart Data fabric across both operations and security.
• Incidents detected in nGeniusONE (performance degradation, anomalies) can be correlated with threats in OCI.
• Threats identified in OCI (C2, malware, exfiltration) can be contextualized in nGeniusONE with their impact on users, apps, and services.
• This creates a NetSecOps bridge where both NOC and SOC teams work from the same visibility layer.

Why NETSCOUT OCI is Different ?

• Smart Data foundation – context-rich metadata derived directly from packets.
  
• Global ATLAS® Intelligence – unique visibility from 400+ carriers worldwide.
  
• Proven scalability – trusted in Tier-1 service providers and Fortune 500 enterprises.
  
• Full NDR stack – visibility, detection, investigation, and response in one platform.
  
• Unified with nGeniusONE – joint performance + security visibility from the same probes.

Typical Use Cases

• Detect ransomware and APT activity at the network level.
• Investigate insider threats and suspicious lateral movements.
• Identify command-and-control (C2) traffic hidden in encrypted flows.
• Provide forensic packet data to complement SIEM and EDR alerts.
