Gitex Global: Interview with Gaurav Mohan, VP sales, SAARC and Middle East, Netscout

What is driving the growth of Netscout in the Middle East region?

The Middle East is one of the fastest growing commercial hubs, and many of our target markets are pioneering digital transformation in the region. Recently, this region has experienced a new wave of cyberattacks, which are a considerable obstacle to overall growth and development. However, enterprises cannot protect what they can’t see. Therefore, the need for comprehensive solutions that provide visibility into complex network infrastructures cannot be understated. Our solutions provide real-time, pervasive visibility and insights that customers need to accelerate and secure their digital transformation. Our capabilities are driving our growth in the region.

Which are your key markets in the region and how do you plan to expand your footprint?

Our key markets in the region are UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. We are expanding in all the three markets by focusing on new business wins, expanding to new solution areas in the existing customer base, and adding sales resources in these three markets. We are committed to our enhancing the performance of our customer’s digital ecosystems.

What are you showcasing at GITEX Global this year? What demand do you see for your solutions in the region?

We’re excited to unveil our new omnis security platform at GITEX Global. Our main priority is security, and the pandemic has brought attention to the necessity for flexible security infrastructures in the region. Doing business in a digital economy necessitates flexibility, and corporate digital infrastructures have evolved dramatically as a result. As they rush to the cloud and increase activities across a globally distributed digital ecosystem, regional organisations must reimagine cybersecurity to protect this expanded threat surface. Complete network visibility is essential for this. Netscout omnis security is an advanced threat analytics and response platform that provides the scale, scope, and consistency required to secure today’s digital infrastructure.

Being one of the leading security vendors, what set you apart from the rest?

Netscout assures digital business services against disruptions in availability, performance, and security. Our smart data technology and continuous monitoring was engineered to penetrate the  layers of services, applications, and hybrid cloud servers that comprise today’s digital architectures. Regional private and public sectors are engaging in rapid digital transformation. Their digital success requires seamless visibility and monitoring for performance and security across a complex set of platforms, locations, and providers. This is our top priority and something we want to highlight during GITEX Global this year.
