One of the positive effects (If any) brought by COVID-19 is the awareness of digital transformations resulting in the fast adoption of technology across every sector possible from education to entertainment and daily business.
Thus, the rise in internet traffic and network connection across different facilities skyrocketed and when the volume of a given subject is large enough, the risk of having its vulnerabilities exposed becomes much more obvious and that’s why cyberattacks have also seen a huge surge in recent years.
However, it seems like digital terrorism isn’t the biggest offender of network fault according to a survey from HwaCom as misconfiguration and overloaded bandwidth takes the top 2 spots while other issues like wireless connection failure, hardware breakdown, and VLAN settings make up the chart here and there.
Then how can a company or organization integrate a network solution into their business? HwaCom suggests using the 5M (FCAPS) scope to evaluate the following 5 aspects:
- Fault Management – Ability to detect faults within the system and report to the IT administrator
- Configuration Management – Capable of backing up or restoring older configurations in case of misbehaving settings
- Accounting Management – Generating reports of flow in particular channels, devices, groups, or areas and providing monitoring options
- Performance Management – Analyze and adjust the network bandwidth of each user accordingly
- Security Management – Monitor all inbound and outbound traffic from unverified connections and block potential attacks
Here’s where HwaCom’s Cyber Monitor network management system comes in that packs the aforementioned 5M (FCAPS) into a single bundle. By having wide compatibility across different hardware and software like network devices, browsers, and even hypervisors, it can achieve a large coverage of a safe and monitored environment for all sorts of infrastructure.
With the rise of AIOps modules that help discover and eliminate potential risks, Cyber Monitor is currently in the early steps of supporting them which in their words – is an ongoing process now. Regardless, its basics are well established enough to be used by different organizations involving telecommunications, transportation, manufacturing, and more.
