Most corporate IT landscapes have a variety of traffic types involved, like cloud, web, and video. With network endpoints interconnected, the performance and risk of handling these traffic types can also increase. Although major solutions can detect threats with predefined signatures, detecting newer attacks requires focusing on communications such as those from API or SaaS applications.

While there are many tools to help you check bandwidth usage on network, sometimes finding KPIs specific to your organization can be painstaking.

Businesses are constantly trying to up their game in the digital transformation era. Modernizing legacy systems, keeping on top of software updates, and building business applications are not easy feats. As organizations contemplate the path ahead, a large strain is put on the constantly constrained IT department.
