Thor Wallace

Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer

As senior vice president and chief information officer for NETSCOUT, Thor Wallace recently led the company through an unprecedented transformation of its own IT architecture.

By using NETSCOUT products and services, Wallace and his teams—encompassing cybersecurity, applications, networking, service desk, and infrastructure—have transformed the IT infrastructure from a traditional, exclusively on-premises hardware platform into a virtualized, software-defined, heavily automated network that spans all of NETSCOUT’s locations. Wallace also is revamping the company’s cybersecurity architecture and other functions associated with zero-trust networking.

Wallace is well-versed in the nuances of modern IT’s edge-based networking and the need for greater visibility in multicloud environments. With 30-plus years of experience, he is an expert in business management as well as computing and is able to holistically assess and articulate the benefits and challenges of IT transformations for fellow C-suite leaders.
