Case Study: High-Flying Agency achieves mission-critical aviation R&D assurance and cybersecurity with NETSCOUT

High-Flying Agency Assures Critical Aviation R&D with NETSCOUT

A government agency that develops advanced global flight solutions — with R&D spread across a dozen facilities and more than 3,000 aviation experts — needed to protect and assure its critical research environment. Its legacy packet-forensics and log-management tools left virtual network blind spots, limited proactive monitoring across network and applications, and had to be addressed within tight government budget constraints.

The agency implemented a converged NETSCOUT solution (nGeniusONE with ASI smart data, COTS InfiniStreamNG, vSTREAM virtual appliances, Arbor Threat Analytics and Arbor Edge Defense) to gain end-to-end visibility, real-time analytics, and automated threat detection/blocking. The deployment closed East‑West and North‑South visibility gaps, improved packet forensics and packet-broker performance, reduced vendor sprawl and total cost of ownership, and increased IT collaboration while meeting budget limits.
