NarusInsight

NarusInsight is a real-time network intelligence and analytics platform developed for telecommunications operators and, in some cases, government or law enforcement agencies. It provides visibility into network traffic, application usage, and security events, enabling operators to monitor performance, enforce policies, and detect anomalies across large-scale networks.

The platform combines deep packet inspection, metadata extraction, traffic classification, and correlation across data sources to produce actionable insights. It supports policy-based actions, fraud detection, revenue assurance, service quality optimization, and interoperability with existing security and network-management tools. NarusInsight also offers real-time alerts, dashboards, and reporting to assist operators in incident response and ongoing network governance. Data can be collected from inline probes, span/mirror ports, or other monitoring sensors and centralized for analysis and retention.

Architecturally, NarusInsight typically comprises probes that capture or copy traffic, centralized management servers, a policy engine, and data repositories. It is designed for carrier-grade throughput and low-latency operation, with deployment options that include physical appliances and software-based implementations. The platform can integrate with routers, switches, signaling systems, and other network infrastructure to support comprehensive visibility and control across heterogeneous networks.

Historically, NarusInsight was developed by Narus and later became part of Boeing’s portfolio following the company’s acquisition of Narus in 2010. The platform has been deployed by large mobile and fixed-line operators to support security, compliance, network optimization, and lawful-intercept workflows under regulatory and legal frameworks. Privacy considerations and export controls have shaped its deployment in various jurisdictions.
