Creating security policies for the devices connected to your network is critical to ensuring that company data is safe. This is especially true as companies adopt a bring-your-own-device model and allow more personal phones, tablets, and laptops to connect to internal services. These devices, or endpoints, introduce unique vulnerabilities that can expose sensitive data if they are not monitored.

Network device monitoring with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) gives you complete visibility into the health and availability of your network devices. Monitoring tools conduct periodic checks to gather device status and performance metrics. The device's status is updated only when a check is initiated by the monitoring system in the defined time interval. Any fault that happens in between polls is only captured when the next check is initiated.
