Case Study: Financial Services Company achieves 24/7 security visibility and unified service assurance with NETSCOUT

Financial Services Provider Turns to NETSCOUT for Security and Services Assurance Visibility

A U.S. financial services firm serving more than 10 million underbanked consumers with prepaid Visa and Mastercard products and commercial payroll cards needed to secure and assure a high‑availability network that processes sensitive payment data. The IT team faced strict regulatory and privacy requirements, 24/7 uptime demands, and tight budgets, and required reliable visibility into inline (active) security systems without risking disruption to live traffic.

The company deployed NETSCOUT taps, nGenius 4200 packet flow switches for inline security visibility, nGenius 5000 switches for cost‑effective aggregation, and the nGeniusONE service assurance platform. The solution provides flow‑aware load balancing, inline bypass and health checks so security appliances can be validated in real time; the result was unified “tap‑to‑tool” visibility, guaranteed performance and high availability, simplified vendor support, and confidence to scale visibility affordably.
