IT network assurance quantifies risk from an IT network perspective, based on a comprehensive set of network facts. A complement to IT application-level security and data-level security solutions, and a sub-set of Network management, Network assurance measures the impact of network change on security, availability, and compliance. Network assurance helps companies keep policies and defences aligned during times of rapid network change. It also helps organizations prioritize remediation efforts and validate network policies and controls. Colleges are now offering classes specifically for this Network Management sub-domain under IT Forensics.
