Latest Network Monitoring Trends of 2022
Summary
Unfortunately, as another consequence of the pandemic and the shift to remote work, we’re seeing less corporate ownership of the network and devices as many organizations pursue a BYOD policy. Smartphones, for example, are booming in popularity and are increasingly used by employees for work, but when left unmanaged, these devices could be accessing valuable business data without the IT departments’ knowledge. “Not only are remote workers completely unable to work if they can’t access the network, but the necessity of reliable VPNs and firewalls has never been more obvious,” Towler said. While network monitoring solutions are not usually optimized for security, they can alert upon anomalous behavior that could indicate risks (malicious or unwitting) created by remote workers. “In today’s environment, there’s an additional challenge facing IT professionals: companies are using so many cyber and networking tools — often 20 or more — that potential threats or attacks can get missed in the early stages because we’re simply overloaded with information,” Gvili said.
