Not unlike SCADA monitoring the performance of the actual equipment involved in energy production to ensure optimal operation, NETSCOUT solutions monitors application packet data across the network to ensure the service itself is available and operating efficiently. Where SCADA detects current flow and line voltage to identify a change that needs attention, NETSCOUT detects such things as changes in response times for data being sent from power stations to the data center or security vulnerabilities that may be the source of a problem.

NETSCOUT’s approach to application performance and security assurance for SCADA is built on a foundation of high-quality data and real-time analytics. NETSCOUT Smart Data fuels our entire suite of solutions and is the basis of two key technologies, ASI and ATLAS®, to provide continuous visibility and automatic detection of both performance and security risks across connected services.
