Introduction

Network management tools are applications that are used in monitoring, supporting and
maintaining a network while giving technical stability to the system. For businesses and
organizations, a network is an important resource and any interference to it can impact their
functions (Blokdijk, 2012). Thus, it is important to continuously monitor the network for any issue
that may become severe so that the entire infrastructure is down. For efficient management of a
network, various resources and their parameters have to be examined on daily basis. However, this
task gets more intricate with the network size. Consequently, network management tools are used
to identify problems within the network and command the necessary action to repair it. Network
management tools usually monitor items such as key trend analysis, server health check, memory
utilization, status of critical services and applications, as wells as anti-virus applications and log
checks.
Policy compliance uses a tool in the management or risks known as risk policy. It is tool
that specifies the standards that the organization will use on order to protect the integrity,
accessibility and discretion of data and the IT system. One example is the IBM Netcool. The
purpose of risk management is to recognize exposures, uncertainties, liabilities, hazards and other
risk that interfere with data, forecast impending impact and then execute measures that will
decrease these impacts. It is vital to note that policy standards specify what safeguards will be
needed but not how the standard will be executed (B...
