Network auditing is an important process to perform. It provides IT administrators with an accurate view of the entire network and subnets, making it easier to spot any open ports, devices that may be unaccounted for, as well as other discrepancies. Having a network audit can also highlight any open vulnerability. Network security is not just about protecting an individual computer, it can also identify and correct vulnerabilities found in the entire network. As such, network auditing is fast becoming an indispensable tool in the maintenance of a healthy network.

The users of your network have been complaining about delays in accessing several systems. You have upgraded servers and added more powerful network switches. However, the network still seems slow and this is having a significant impact on the business. The cost of having the network audited is seen as a small investment in preventative maintenance, to ward off the large cost of disaster recovery. The ROI is immediate, as network and compliance vulnerabilities are found and fixed. All components of the network are located and tested and all open invitations to attack are closed. The staff benefit from a more responsive network system thus aiding productivity. The business benefits from a faster, more efficient and secure network, while the IT department benefits from a clear picture from which to manage and plan.
