How to Audit Network Performance, Security, and Troubleshooting in Linux
Network security auditing is the process of assessing a network’s health by analyzing and studying the flow of data through the network. Network auditing is one of the critical steps to detect potential security threats and errors within the network. Security audits are either performed manually or are automated using various testing tools, they are crucial because they ensure whether the network is secure and void of any security vulnerabilities or loopholes that can be exploited by an attacker. A basic security audit may include.
- Analysis of all Network devices
- Analysis of the Network Infrastructure
- Identifying network policies
