Security is extremely important for all businesses. Companies who do not take supply chain security seriously leave themselves vulnerable to potentially devastating attacks. Before we jump into the details, lets first define what supply chain security is. Supply chain security is a broad term that encompasses the efforts to reduce the risk of both external
Network Operation Center (NOCs) is a central location where organizations support computer networks and telecommunications infrastructure, track and resolve IT infrastructure incidents, and ultimately ensure availability of data centers. Sometimes they are located in the data center, sometimes externally. They are usually connected to a high-speed internet connection or directly to the internet’s backbone to
A Ticketing system The ticket system will allow you to keep track of all open, urgent issues and people assigned to handle each task. Knowing all the issues that are pending will help you prioritize transitional tasks and provide the best service to your customers. Knowledge-base system Keep a central resource for all the knowledge
Network Operation Center (NOC) is the central location from which network administrators manage, control and monitor one or more networks. The overall function is to maintain optimum network operation across multiple platforms, mediums and communication channels. The network operations center monitors the telecommunications network for certain alarms or conditions that may require special attention to
A generic Network forensic examination includes the following steps: Identification, preservation, collection, examination, analysis, presentation and Incident Response. Identification: recognizing and determining an incident based on network indicators. This step is significant since it has an impact in the following steps. Preservation: securing and isolating the state of physical and logical evidences from being altered,
This section shows where network forensic methods can be applied within the different network protocols or layers. Data-link and physical layer examined (Ethernet) Methods are achieved with eavesdropping bit streams on the Ethernet layer of the OSI model. This can be done using monitoring tools or sniffers such as Wireshark or Tcpdump, both of which
Network forensic investigators examine two primary sources: full-packet data capture, and log files from devices such as routers, proxy servers, and web servers—these files identify traffic patterns by capturing and storing source and destination IP addresses, TCP port, Domain Name Service (DNS) site names, and other information. Full-Packet Capture. The advantage of full-packet capture is that the content, and therefore
Forensic analysis of network data allows investigators to reconstruct network activity during a particular period of time. These techniques are commonly used to investigate individuals suspected of crimes and to reconstruct the sequence of events that took place during a network-based information security incident. There are many network forensic analysis tools you can use, several
Network forensics refers to investigations that obtain and analyze information about a network or network events. It is a specialized category within the more general field of digital forensics, which applies to all kinds of IT data investigations. Typically, network forensics refers to the specific network analysis that follows security attacks or other types of
Application Performance Monitor monitors applications across multiple devices, servers, and systems, providing performance statistics and overall application health, while alerting on performance degradation and potential problems before they result in service outages. APM helps IT organizations measure and guarantee Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and assists in pinpointing application performance bottlenecks and points of failure. Each
