Network Monitoring
Continuously tracking network performance, including bandwidth usage, traffic patterns, and the health of network devices. This helps in detecting and addressing issues before they affect operations.
Implementing alert systems to notify network administrators of potential issues such as network outages, performance degradation, or security breaches.
Incident Management
Use monitoring tools to identify problems like network downtime, slow performance, or connectivity issues.
Investigating and diagnosing network issues to determine their root causes. This may involve analyzing logs, checking device statuses, and reviewing network traffic.
Performance Optimization
Adjusting network settings and configurations to optimize performance. This could involve tuning Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, load balancing, or optimizing routing protocols.
Security Management
Configure and manage firewalls, intrusion detection, and prevention systems to protect the network from unauthorized access and attacks.
Conduct periodic security assessments and vulnerability scans to identify and address potential weaknesses in the network.
Develop and implement procedures for responding to security incidents, including data breaches and cyberattacks.
Configuration Management
Managing configurations of routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices. Ensure that configurations are standardized and documented.
Implementing a structured approach for making changes to the network, including testing changes in a controlled environment and documenting all modifications.
Backup and Recovery
Regularly back up network configurations and other critical data to prevent loss in case of failures or disasters.Developing and maintaining a disaster recovery plan to ensure that the network can be quickly restored in the event of a major outage or disaster.
