Case Study: State Government IT Organization achieves federal cybersecurity compliance and hybrid workforce reliability with NETSCOUT

State Agency Manages Expanding IT Environment With NETSCOUT

A centralized State government IT organization serving more than 30,000 employees faced rising demands: it needed to satisfy a Federal cybersecurity program that required deploying sensors, analyzing and sharing attack traffic, and feeding third‑party tools for triage, while also assuring reliable performance and redundancy for an extended hybrid workforce and a new regional data center.

The agency augmented its existing NETSCOUT deployment with nGenius 5000 and 7000 series packet flow switches (plus a PFS 7000 software upgrade for an existing PFS 5000), InfiniStreamNG, nGeniusONE analytics, and Arbor Sightline/Threat Mitigation. This provided high‑speed packet aggregation, smart visibility and analytics at the network edge, inline bypass and redundancy for the data center, and automated DDoS mitigation—allowing the agency to meet federal requirements, protect services for hybrid workers, and maximize the value of its NETSCOUT investment.
