For project management network diagrams, see Network diagram (project management). A network diagram is a schematic depicting the nodes and connections amongst nodes in a computer network or, more generally, any and management software. Continuous Scan is the first product to view intrusions enterprise-wide from a single computer, even across switches. Unlike other IDS products, Continuous Scan is easy to install and operate, works great on switched networks, and automatically disables network access for rogue systems. "ISO (1) See ISO speed.

The U.S. member body is ANSI. 17799 and Sarbanes-Oxley require organizations to protect their systems from both outsiders and insiders," said Dorian Cougias, president, Network Frontiers.

Neon Software also publishes CyberGauge and NetMinder Ethernet. CyberGauge uses SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. to monitor and chart bandwidth in real-time. NetMinder Ethernet captures and decodes packet data as it moves through the network, quickly pinpointing security issues and network problems. |
