Case Study: UK Financial Services Organization achieves secure business growth and improved cybersecurity visibility with NETSCOUT Packet Flow Switch solution

UK Financial Services Organization Securely Manages Business Growth with NETSCOUT Packet Flow Switch Solution

A leading UK financial services group serving more than 25 million customers faced rapid business growth that drove data center expansion, higher network traffic, and increased cybersecurity risk. With multiple third-party security tools and an external provider supporting network operations, the bank needed better packet-level visibility and a packet broker solution to filter and forward traffic effectively to monitoring and security platforms.

The bank deployed NETSCOUT nGenius 2200 and 6000 series packet flow switches plus NETSCOUT TAPs to create a unified packet plane that separates the network layer from the tool layer. Hardware-based ingress-to-egress filtering, aggregation, load balancing and pfsMesh scaling ensured exact traffic visibility without packet drops or added latency, simplifying operations under a single vendor, improving security tool efficiency, and reducing breach risk, management complexity, and overall monitoring costs.
