About Al Agrawal

Al Agrawal is Chief Technology Officer - Service Provider DDoS at NETSCOUT. Location: Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area, United States.

I lead DDoS strategy for Service Providers across North America as CTO at NETSCOUT — helping carriers stay ahead of an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape through enhanced network visibility and purpose-built DDoS solutions. My career spans the full arc of enterprise and service provider security: from deep pre- and post-sales technical engagements to cross-functional leadership across sales, marketing, and business development. I've built and scaled OEM and reseller channels from the ground up, grown strategic partnerships, and managed complex relationships with Tier-1, 2 and 3 carriers. On the technical side, I bring hands-on expertise in Deep Packet Inspection, NetFlow-based behavioral analysis, DDoS detection and intelligent filtering, peering analysis, and network management — giving me the ability to bridge engineering depth with executive-level sales and strategy conversations. Today my focus is helping service providers get ahead of both current and emerging DDoS challenges — working cross-functionally with sales and engineering teams to accelerate technology adoption and ensure customers have the right solutions in place before threats arrive.
