Monitor Network Traffic

Analyze and monitor network traffic to ensure data flow is secure and efficient. This involves tracking bandwidth usage, identifying traffic patterns, and detecting any anomalies that could indicate security breaches or inefficiencies. The system manager should implement network monitoring tools that can identify heavy usage periods and flag unusual traffic spikes. By analyzing this data, it’s possible to make informed decisions about bandwidth allocation, optimize network performance, and reduce the risk of downtime due to network congestion. In addition, the system manager is responsible for ensuring proper network security measures are in place, such as firewalls, VPNs, and encryption, to protect sensitive information as it flows through the network.
