There are many reasons why you should pay special attention to network monitoring and surveillance. In order to get the best performance from the network and have a highly secure network, the network must be monitored.
But how?
There are various tools in this field, a few of which we will describe:
1- Packet sniffers:
How does this tool work?? This tool is used to capture and listen to the packets sent and received and examines everything that is transmitted on the network. A copy of these packets is taken and by opening them, the events that occur on the network are examined and through this you become aware of the weaknesses, vulnerabilities of the network and possible infiltration in the network and if there are many transfers on the network by hackers, you will be informed.
2- IDS/IPS intrusion detection and prevention systems:
Intrusion Detection Software or IDS means intrusion detection software and IPS or Intrusion Prevention Software means intrusion prevention software.
What is the difference between these two?
IDS examines a series of network intrusion patterns and does not prevent any network intrusion. It uses a set of log files to alert network administrators to intrusions, while IPS, in addition to alerting administrators, prevents intrusions and attacks.
3- Port Scanner:
A port scanner is used to view open ports on a network or a system. But why do we say a network or a system?
Because a port scanner may be used on a firewall to show us open ports.
It may also be used on a specific computer or server to show us what ports the server is serving. Port scanners are usually software and are used by both network administrators and hackers and attackers to detect potential vulnerabilities.
To ensure the software and hardware health of servers and network components, network analysis services are performed using advanced equipment and software.
Also, network vulnerabilities are identified and corrective solutions are provided to fix them. Using powerful monitoring products, all network components are monitored and errors and reports are provided to the network administrator via email. This company also provides comprehensive solutions in the field of information security management (ISMS).
