NETSCOUT enhances observability capabilities

To help enterprises strengthen their digital resilience NETSCOUT SYSTEMS announces enhancements to its award-winning observability solutions including enhanced SSL/TLS certificate monitoring and management capabilities to reduce the risk of outages caused by missed certificate expirations, and introduces its new nGeniusONE® solution to real-time deep packet inspection (DPI) over Ethernet or Wi-Fi 7, overcoming observability gaps in remote locations and delivering superior user experiences wherever needed.

SSL/TLS certificates authenticate the identity of a website, server, or service and enable secure, encrypted communication.  Increased risks from expired or mismanaged certificates can trigger outages across websites, APIs, and critical digital services, resulting in revenue loss, missed SLAs, and customer churn.  Beyond unplanned outages, certificate failures can also expose organizations to security threats, regulatory violations, and costly remediation, while highly visible browser warnings erode brand trust.  Manual certificate management simply cannot scale as certificate lifespans shrink while hybrid, cloud and third-party ecosystems expand.

Therefore, the certificate monitor capabilities in nGeniusONE provides real-time insights to maintain valid SSL certificates, proactively detect SSL certificates approaching their expiration, and discover unknown certificates running on non-standard ports, in disguise, or the result of shadow IT.  This prevents costly downtime due to expirations, maintains user trust by avoiding security warnings, ensures compliance, and guards against vulnerabilities such as mis-issued or weak certificates. As a result, IT teams can proactively manage their servers, protect their business services more efficiently and effectively, and prevent painful problems related to certificate expiration.
 
Demand for ultra-fast speeds and low latency to support digital transformations and industrial IoT continues, is forecast to see the Wi-Fi 7 market grow at a CAGR of 61.5% between 2025 and 2030, according to BCC Research.  This means observability solutions in remote locations will need to evolve in parallel.
 
By adding Wi-Fi 7 support (backwards compatible with Wi-Fi 6E, 6, and 5) to the existing Ethernet support in NETSCOUT’s new nGenius® Edge Sensors, IT teams can confidently monitor critical applications at remote sites and receive early warning notifications of emerging problems that prevent adverse impacts to revenue streams, customer service and employee productivity.  Using the solution, enterprises gain comprehensive visibility to support current and future Wi-Fi deployments seamlessly.

“Through our observability solutions, we’re helping organizations master their complex networks by shifting from reactive fixes to preventative operations,” comments Phil Gray, Associate Vice President, Product Management, NETSCOUT.  “We aren't just accelerating MTTR; we’re giving IT teams the foresight to resolve issues before they touch the business, guaranteeing a high-quality experience for their employees and customers.”
