Frequently asked questions
Why are failures in the financial sector particularly dangerous?
When the banking system stops working, customers cannot make transfers or pay with cards. Even a short interruption can cause chaos and loss of trust. For institutions, this means not only financial losses, but also image problems.
What is network monitoring?
Monitoring involves constantly observing the status of servers, applications and network devices. The system analyzes operating parameters – from CPU usage to network traffic – and immediately detects anomalies. This allows administrators to react quickly before customers are affected.
