Case Study: Global Government Communications Service Provider achieves enhanced security, compliance, and scalable packet-level visibility with NETSCOUT Omnis Cyber Intelligence

Enhancing Security and Compliance for a Global Government Communications Provider with Omnis Cyber Intelligence

This global information‑systems provider supports top‑secret government communications for 3–5 million users and required stronger, scalable visibility to meet strict compliance requirements. Faced with monitoring multiple divisions across distinct subnets with a single sensor, identifying policy violations and weak SSH/TLS ciphers, and consolidating an overloaded instrumentation environment, the company needed packet‑level inspection and analytics beyond a traditional IDS.

They deployed NETSCOUT’s Omnis Cyber Intelligence (OCI), Omnis CyberStream sensors for DPI, and plan to use Omnis Data Streamer for data exports. The solution delivered real‑time and historical threat detection, customer‑segment host groups, multidimensional detections (threat intel, behavioral analytics, IDS, file extraction), and certificate compliance alerts—during POC it even revealed that more than half the environment was unencrypted. The result was improved network observability, faster compliance remediation, reduced complexity and costs, and a foundation for proactive threat mitigation.
