Network Monitoring
The purpose of network monitoring solution is the collection of useful information
from various parts of the network so that the network can be managed and
controlled using the collected information. Most of the network devices are
located in remote locations and they usually don't have directly connected
terminals. Hence specialized tools are required to fecilitate the network
management application to monitor their status easily.
Bandwidth Management
Heavy downloading can take its toll on network performance. Congestion and
lack of responsiveness are often the result of large amounts of traffic
being used by a small number of users. Sometimes even a single user can
bring an entire network to a crawl as the internet gateway gets flooded with
network traffic. By using Bandwidth management tools, the administrator can
have full control over the network using tools to allocate desired bandwidth
to specified users for specified tasks.
Traffic Analysis
Traffic analysis is the Inference or deduction of useful intelligence from patterns
of observable characteristics of data flow(s), even when the data is encrypted
or otherwise not directly available. The characteristics used for the evolution
of such patterns include the identities and locations of the source(s) and destination(s),
and the presence, amount, frequency, and duration of occurrence.
Penetration Testing
The portion of security testing in which the evaluators attempt to circumvent
the security features of a system. The evaluators may be assumed to use all system
design and implementation documentation, that may include listings of system
source code, manuals, and circuit diagrams. The
evaluators work under the same constraints applied to ordinary users. Ethical
Hacking of a commissioned system is an integral part of penetration testing.
Vulnerability Analysis
Vulnerability analysis is the systematic examination of an AIS (Automated
Information System for acquisition, storage, manipulation, control, display,
transmission, or reception of data etc.) or product to determine the
adequacy of security measures, identify security deficiencies, provide data
from which to predict the effectiveness of proposed security measures, and
confirm the adequacy of such measures after implementation.
Network Audit
It is the process of assessing the various components and the operating
environment of a computer network for vulnerabilities and other loopholes
that might occure in the process of installing, configuring, or securing the
network. This process may range from a relatively simple Automated audit to
check a network for known vulnerabilities in the operating system through a
black box or even a white box or manual audit to determine the network's
overall status as compared to the prevailing "best practice".
