Combining NetOps and SecOps into Risk Engineering

Holistic Network Data-Driven Risk Management

White paper for NETSCOUT by Jason Bloomberg

Organizations are finding that managing their networks, software infrastructure, and cybersecurity separately are leading to inefficiencies, cost overruns, and excess risk.

Bringing these efforts together, however, leads to an alphabet soup of combined efforts, including NetOps, SecOps, DevOps, and others.

To achieve effective collaboration requires a formal approach to managing risk across these different team efforts. Risk Engineering – the most important role of the NetSecOps team – brings these efforts together.

NetSecOps teams, however, require comprehensive, real-time data – telemetry that gives them insights into all aspects of managing risk. At the heart of such telemetry is packet data, the result of deep packet inspection that provides the least common denominator for all risk management efforts.

Packet data alone, however, lack sufficient context. To address this problem, NETSCOUT offers Adaptive Service Intelligence that enriches packet data with metadata in real-time, giving NetSecOps teams the context they require to make the most effective risk management decisions.
