This latest release of NetBrain’s Next-Gen 12 brings tighter AI and no-code automation integration to boost real-time observability and continuous network assessment. With a strong foundation of its live digital twin and new AI insights, you can auto-discover devices, build automations faster, and take advantage of industry-wide outage knowledge for a more resilient network.

01

Smarter Network Discovery

NetBrain’s Golden Engineering Studio further lowers the barrier to network device and feature discovery and automation creation for network-wide post-mortem and continuous golden assessments. For example, a post-mortem assessment identifies a BGP misconfiguration on one device, then instantly checks all peers for the same issue—preventing routing loops, route leaks, and outages.

02

Easier Automation Creation

A single BGP misconfiguration can take down critical services for hours. NetBrain’s Golden Assessment enforces ‘Golden’ standards—ideal configurations and states—across your network. It automatically detects deviations and risks and lets you fix them fast, ensuring security and compliance. The Golden Assessment Library offers ready-to-use assessments including assigned reference clusters and industry-wide knowledge.

03

Automated Troubleshooting & Change Management

Completely revamped, Next-Gen Runbooks now containerize automation (Intent), CLI, Maps, AI Insights, and Document nodes into workflow templates for anyone to use.

Troubleshooting Runbook

Publish reusable workflows to guide junior staff—streamlining repetitive tasks and reducing escalations. Share your expertise once, and let the team resolve issues faster while critical engineers stay focused on innovation.

Change Runbook

Automate change management and config validation, ensuring flawless execution. With Triple Defense, your network is protected before, during, and after changes—preventing errors and drift while reducing outages.

04

AI & Automation Insight: Your Network Map’s Intelligent Sidekick

Ask network automation questions in plain language. Get answers and reports fast directly on a map.

Natural Language Network Diagnostics

AI Insight lets you analyze any part of your network and instantly surface answers to complex issues—no manual checks required. From root-cause diagnostics to compliance and security validation, AI automates thousands of tasks at once while you stay in control. Just ask, and the system delivers actionable answers—whether it’s a down interface, BGP issue, slow app, or CVE risk.

Centralized Automation Intelligence

  • Automation Insight lets you easily view all automation tied to any mapped network area—from golden intents and configs to observability insights and CLI data—all in one place. No more switching tools or tabs—everything you need is centralized for faster action and smarter decisions.
  • AI Document – Draft network reports in seconds with AI assistance (“Add a summary to each section and remove redundant data”).
05

Extend No-Code Automation to Kubernetes Environments (Beta)

Native Kubernetes support brings end-to-end observability and automation to containerized environments, seamlessly integrating clusters, nodes, and services into the Digital Twin. The platform now provides overlay networking (CNI) awareness, intent-based validation of routes and configurations, hybrid application path analysis, and optional security scanning for Ingress-nginx vulnerabilities—empowering teams to manage Kubernetes with the same speed and precision as traditional infrastructure.

  • Helps NetOps and SecOps teams monitor Kubernetes vulnerabilities
  • Adds real-time CVE visibility to existing Golden Assessments
  • Supports audit, compliance, and risk mitigation efforts in container environments
