Description: Network configuration monitoring is the process of tracking changes in network configurations to ensure compliance and performance. This process involves collecting and analyzing data about the configuration of various network devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls, with the aim of identifying and documenting any modifications that may affect the security and operability of the network. Monitoring enables network administrators to detect unauthorized configurations, configuration errors, and deviations from established policies. Additionally, it facilitates auditing and regulatory compliance by providing a detailed record of changes made over time. Network configuration monitoring tools typically include real-time alerts, compliance reports, and capabilities for restoring previous configurations, enabling organizations to maintain a secure and efficient network environment. In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, network configuration monitoring has become an essential practice for protecting IT infrastructure and ensuring business continuity.
