NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. has announced an expansion of its monitoring capabilities designed to help enterprises meet complex compliance and security requirements in cloud environments. The enhancements to its Omnis KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes provide continuous, end-through-end visibility, which is critical for gathering audit evidence, proving zero-trust policies, and accelerating incident response in dynamic containerized infrastructures.
NETSCOUT enhances its Omnis KlearSight Sensor for Kubernetes monitoring.
The upgrade provides continuous visibility for compliance evidence and audit controls.
It addresses compliance challenges in dynamic cloud-native environments.
The solution helps meet standards like GDPR, HIPAA, NIST, and ISO 27001.
It offers network-level visibility into east-west traffic within Kubernetes clusters.
The goal is to reduce blind spots and risk of non-compliance.
As 93% of companies now use or evaluate Kubernetes, the dynamic nature of containers creates significant challenges for monitoring and auditability. NETSCOUT's solution is designed to close these compliance gaps by providing real-time visibility into workloads, cluster configurations, network traffic, and API calls. This continuous monitoring is essential for demonstrating ongoing assurance that systems are secure and resilient, directly supporting major regulatory frameworks.
The enhanced capabilities are built to help enterprises gather the detailed evidence required for a range of compliance requirements. This includes supporting continuous monitoring and threat detection for regulations like DORA, enabling incident response and forensics for ISO 27001, ensuring data protection for GDPR and HIPAA, and managing configurations as per NIST guidelines. The solution specifically targets the visibility needed for east-west traffic within clusters, which is often a blind spot for traditional monitoring tools.
In an era where cloud-native adoption is ubiquitous, the ability to maintain a robust security posture and prove compliance is paramount. By delivering packet- and container-level telemetry, NETSCOUT's expanded offering provides the foundational visibility enterprises need to not only detect and respond to incidents faster but also to systematically manage risk and demonstrate accountability to auditors and regulators.
