CHALLENGES OF THE MODERN NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER
01
Standardization
Running
an
efficient
multiple
tools
and
network
systems
to
today be
requires
networked
together. This would have been nearly impossible just
a
few
years
ago,
but
now
most
large
organizations have dozens or even hundreds of devices integrated into their networks.
02
Automation
Today’s network operations teams are under a great deal of pressure to do more with less: fewer staff, tighter budgets, and shorter timeframes all lead to an environment where it’s difficult for anyone much fewer professionals charged with keeping networks safe to take a breath.
03
Security
It’s a fact: your NOC will, at some point, be attacked. It may be hacked. It may fall victim to insider threats. In all likelihood, it will experience both of these security issues at once (source). To ensure that you can maintain business continuity despite such an attack, you need to make sure that your NOC is in as safe a position as possible.
