[Information] Best Practices for Network Monitoring

When it comes to product evaluation, you might imagine observing the product's performance in a lab or office setting, but G2 Software Reviews are not of that kind. G2's reviews are based on evaluations from actual users who regularly use the tools. It is not theoretical; being chosen as a leader in the G2 Grid report (Network Monitoring) based on candid feedback from specific users is a great honor. This is the result of evaluations from 130 customers who use Progress's WhatsUp Gold. You can find more details in the related links below.

Active Directory (AD), which is a crucial part of the network, can be considered a lifeline, especially in terms of user and ID management. Many companies position AD as a core directory service, enabling them to identify, track, and manage users and IT assets appropriately. All these IDs are stored in Active Directory, and IT assets are logged. Through this directory data, it is possible to identify breaches and abnormal behavior; however, if Active Directory is not monitored, malicious actors may go unnoticed when they begin to infiltrate the network.

Endpoint protection is the foundation of cybersecurity, but in today's ever-expanding digital environment, endpoints span a wide variety of devices, and traditional endpoint security alone is not sufficient to address the frequent cyberattacks. The proliferation of cloud services, remote work, and expanded system access further amplifies these challenges. In this changing landscape, while additional tools such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems are used to enhance security, it has become clear that there is a need for an additional cybersecurity stack that should be built through the analysis of attack data and experience. That is where Network Detection and Response (NDR) comes in. In this blog, we will explain four reasons why NDR is necessary. You can find more details in the related links below.

In the early 1990s, it was common to simply register a company name as a domain name, with a straightforward approach of one domain per company, which incurred very little cost.

The situation has changed significantly from the past to the present, but the process of registering a domain name remains an important procedure for supporting online business. In this blog, we will start by explaining what the Domain Name System (DNS) is, and then discuss important DNS servers and their monitoring for infrastructure.
