deep packet inspectiontechnical
Deep packet inspection is a network technology that examines the contents of individual data packets as they travel across the internet, like opening and reading the contents of mailed envelopes rather than just checking the address. It matters to investors because it can enable services (security, traffic management, targeted advertising) and create privacy or regulatory risks, so companies that provide or use it may see impacts on revenue, costs, and legal exposure.
wi-fi 7technical
Wi‑Fi 7 is the next generation of wireless networking technology that delivers much faster speeds, lower delay, and the ability to handle many more devices at once—think of it as a wider, smoother highway for internet traffic. It matters to investors because upgrades to phones, routers, smart-home gear, and business networks can drive hardware sales, service subscriptions, and demand for data-center or semiconductor capacity, affecting companies across the tech supply chain.
ssl/tls certificatestechnical
Digital certificates that verify a website or server’s identity and encrypt data sent between users and that site; think of them as a passport plus a sealed envelope for online connections. Investors care because they protect customer information, preserve trust and sales, and reduce legal and regulatory risk—lapses or expirations can cause outages, brand damage, fines or lost revenue, making security posture a material business risk.
aiopstechnical
AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) uses machine learning and data analysis to monitor, detect, and resolve problems in an organization’s technology systems automatically. It matters to investors because it can cut downtime and operating costs, speed up fixes, and make digital products more reliable—similar to an autopilot that notices and corrects issues before they disrupt service, which can protect revenue and reduce operational risk.
ddostechnical
A DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack is when many compromised computers or devices artificially flood a company's online systems with traffic so legitimate users cannot access websites, apps, or services. For investors, DDoS episodes can disrupt sales, damage customer trust, and expose weaknesses in a company's security — like a traffic jam that shuts down a city's main highway, revealing costs and operational risks that can affect revenue and stock value.
mttrtechnical
MTTR stands for Mean Time To Repair (sometimes called Mean Time To Recovery) and measures the average time it takes to fix a failed system or restore normal operations after a disruption. For investors, a lower MTTR means a company can bounce back faster from outages or production problems, like a car that gets towed and repaired quickly, which reduces lost sales, reputational damage, and ongoing costs.
ssl certificatestechnical
A SSL certificate is a digital 'padlock' that encrypts data sent between a website and its visitors, and also verifies that the site is who it claims to be. For investors, the presence and proper management of SSL certificates matter because they protect customer data, maintain trust and sales, and reduce the risk of costly security breaches or regulatory penalties that can damage a company’s reputation and share price.
Moving from proactive problem management to preventative problem avoidance
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NETSCOUT® SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of observability, AIOps, cybersecurity, and DDoS attack protection solutions, today announced new capabilities that further enhance its award-winning observability solutions to address critical gaps in remote site management and risks stemming from expired SSL/TLS certificates. New nGeniusONE® solution enhancements support 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. And NETSCOUT’s enhanced SSL/TLS certificates monitoring capabilities simplify and expedite management, reducing the risk of outages caused by missed certificate expirations.
Overcoming remote site observability gaps
NETSCOUT continues to innovate its observability solutions to help enterprises strengthen their digital resilience and ability to proactively prevent problem escalation. As the Wi-Fi 7 market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 61.5% between 2025 and 2030, according to BCC Research, driven by demand for ultra-fast speeds and low latency to support digital transformations and industrial IoT, observability solutions in remote locations 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 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. NETSCOUT was recently recognized by Frost & Sullivan for visionary innovation, performance and customer impact, reflecting our continuous innovation and commitment to customer success.
NETSCOUT has enhanced certificate monitor capabilities in nGeniusONE to provide 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 misissued 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.
SSL/TLS certificates authenticate the identity of a website, server, or service and enable secure, encrypted communication. According to recent research by the Ponemon Institute, 51% of organizations do not even know how many digital certificates their organizations have. 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.
"Through our observability solutions, we’re helping organizations master their complex networks by shifting from reactive fixes to preventative operations,” stated 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."
