Why AI, Zero Trust, and modern security require deep visibility

Network and application visibility (NAV) is positioned as a foundational requirement for modern security strategies including AI-driven detection, Zero Trust, and SOC automation. A Forrester Consulting study commissioned by NETSCOUT found 72% of organizations consider NAV essential for threat hunting and incident response. Without high-fidelity network visibility, AI models produce inaccurate detections, Zero Trust misclassifies identities, and automated response becomes unreliable. NETSCOUT's Omnis Cyber Intelligence is presented as a 'clarity layer' providing packet-level visibility, behavioral analytics, and context-rich metadata to underpin these advanced security capabilities.
