The NETSCOUT/Splunk Partnership
As organizations migrate workloads to the cloud, infrastructure becomes more hybrid, making end-through-end visibility a necessary tool in combating threats across the global attack surface. IT teams are tasked with not only assuring service delivery and a delightful user experience but also protecting digital assets from the on-premises data center to the cloud. The sheer sprawl of the IT footprint beyond the boundaries of the traditional enterprise means that NETOPS, SECOPS, and ITOPS must embrace new ways of gaining visibility and addressing both service delivery and security issues as they occur.
NETSCOUT’s partnership with Splunk brings the NetOps and SecOps teams together through a unified view of network and security events from NETSCOUT’s Omnis Cyber Intelligence (OCI) and nGeniusOne in the Splunk SIEM portal. The NETSCOUT Omnis Cyber Intelligence App for Splunk helps you perform security analysis functions. Security events generated from OCI are sent to Splunk with a contextual launch capability that allows Splunk users to query back into OCI for further analysis. The NETSCOUT nGeniusONE Alert integration module enables alerts generated from nGeniusONE to be sent to the Splunk platform.
The NETSCOUT and Splunk partnership also features a contextual launch capability that allows Splunk users to query back into nGeniusONE for packet-level performance management and troubleshooting.
