Network issues can happen at any time. Tracking, monitoring, and improving network performance is difficult and almost every company faces a wide variety of network monitoring challenges throughout the year. We've selected what we believe are the top three network monitoring challenges most companies need to focus on and address.
- Lack of Network Visability
When you can’t see a portion of your network or track a particular performance metric, there's no way to effectively gain understanding of your network performance. Furthermore, your business needs to have the ability to examine every transaction that occurs on your network—one bad data packet could undermine your entire enterprise. Having the ability to develop a unified dashboard with complete visibility over both local and remote sites is a must for achieving success when it comes to monitoring your network. - Ability to Observe Critical Metrics
When network issues occur, they exhibit changes from the usual observed patterns. Developing the ability to view critical metrics, such as maximum disk usage, critical state, trends of firewall alerts, and so on, allows action to be taken quickly when problems arise and reduces chances of network failure. - Security
Phishing and social engineering attacks are common and your employees should always be trained on data protection and privacy. Better encryption methods, firewalls, and network monitoring tools for protecting your systems are also critical. Additionally, personal devices should have limited access to company data and multi-factor authorization techniques should become standard practice when it comes to protecting your network.
