What is FCAPS? FCAPS is a telecommunication management network and network management software (NMS). FCAPS is an acronym that stands for its five network management categories. F stands for Fault Management, C stands for Configuration Management, A stands for Accounting, P stands Performance management, and S stands for Security Management. When it comes to Networking and providing internet as a service, availability and performance are required. With FCAPS model of NMS, this ensures that the uptime and performance are always giving their full potential. FCAPS set the requirement of how their network should be modeled after. The networks downtime must be put to a minimum to ensure an avoidance of revenue loss. If the network is down, work can’t be done, revenue will be loss, and companies will be in trouble. There are five management categories that make up the FCAPS. The first is Fault Management. Fault Management’s role is to identify, quarantine, and correct network log faults. The network faults can be monitored and observed by looking for abnormal behavior. If and when a fault occurs on the network, a component within the network sends a notification or an alarm to the network administrator or engineer by using a protocol called SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). SNMP collects the fault information and sends it to the console server. Information on Fault logs can be used statistically to determine the service level of network elements. The information used can also determine if there are any insubstantial network components that may require future attention. This is to ensure that the network downtime is minimized. When a notification or alarm is present it only shows the symptoms of the issue. Troubleshooting is ... ... middle of paper ... ...This management’s main purpose is to control the access to the network. Its security can be attained by authentication, authorization, and encryption. This management also gathers security information and analyzes it frequently. With Security management in place, all users, external and internal, only have access to the appropriate resources on the network. Not only does this management manage all users but also non users. It watches and protects from malicious attacks such as hackers, DoS attack, malware, and viruses. It does this by monitoring the traffic goes in and out of the network looking for any suspicious packets. These are the five categories of FCAPS and a description of what their responsibilities are. These are what makes the FCAPS a NMS and what makes the network reliable and secure. This is the base line of how networks should be run and operated.
The method of communication over the FCIC II / CJ Net network is the same standard that has been used on the Internet, TCP/IP.
The SIEM is a log management system where every network device, server or workstation will send their logs for storage, correlation and analysis. The analysis will provide alerts similar to the NIDS and HIDS. In addition, the log correlation could be used to help track where and when malicious activity has occurred and on what system(s) the activity was seen. The combination of the NIDS, HIDS and SIEM will provide a good array of detection for malicious users, software or unauthorized system access.

Service Management- This gives ability to monitor, diagnose and centrally manage the network, using standard based vendor independent implementations. We can get rapid service provisioning with this attribute. It can also be seen as carrier class OAM.

Network Security is the protection of the computer’s network though out the entire infrastructure. It can protect very important information and computer files to help prevent theft, spyware, malware, viruses, and more. Depending on if you have a public or private network, can determine what type of security settings you need for your network. All people are different on what they want to have secured or not, but most people do not know how to prevent people or things from getting in their network. “You must have a general understanding of security terminology and specifications as it relates to configuring hardware and software systems.”(Roberts, Richard M. 599). That quote states that by knowing and understanding security terms and specifics, you can
Although Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) have been grouped together here (IDPS), there are distinctions between them. On the most basic level, both will monitor the network...
A private security manager in general definition is one that the program, scheme or method of worked for the accomplishment of an objective or course of action and direct supervising of security function and activities in a particular time in giving the protection and safety against any danger or injury of an administration or corporation. A private security manager is dissimilar to law enforcement officers and this private security manager does not work for the government but instead to a private company and work with certain limits of rights like keeping people under restraint or custody and taking weapons but it all depends on the state law where they do service. The most essential duties and responsibilities of a private security manager are planning, management and reporting.
The Traffic Management Advisor (TMA) is part of the FAA’s Free Flight program which has been on going for the past 12 years in an attempt to enable controllers the means in which to manage airspace and reduce delays at airports safely and more efficiently. It uses flight plan information along with environmental concerns to aide controllers in sequencing arrivals at airports and makes recommendations for traffic patterns to aide in undue congestion. The TMA has boosted efficiency of the air traffic controllers and helped in fuel efficiency and safety for the airlines, passengers and crews.

Typically, touching the affected system(s) will not be involved in the initial response. The data collected during this initial response phase includes reviewing of network-based and other evidence. Initial response phase involves the following tasks: • Interviewing system administrators of an incident who might have understanding into the technical details. • Interviewing business unit human resource that may provide a context for the incident, which might have understanding into business events. • To identify data reviewing intrusion detection reports and network-based logs of the incident that would support that an incident has
Over the past few years, Internet-enabled business, or e-business, has drastically improved efficiency and revenue growth. E-business applications such as e-commerce, supply-chain management, and remote access allow companies to streamline processes, lower operating costs, and increase customer satisfaction. Such applications require mission-critical networks that accommodate voice, video, and data traffic, and these networks must be scalable to support increasing numbers of users and the need for greater
Networks in organisation are dynamic and complex entities which can be quite challenging to configure and manage. (Kim & Feamster 2013). These corporate networks consist of multiple routers, switches, firewalls, middleboxes and a particular advantage of network management is the ability to monitor the entire business network. As all the devices are interconnected with many event occurring simultaneously, problems with once device can eventually lead and spread throughout...
My mobile phone network coverage allows me to make a call wherever I want, and the call is never cut off by the network. Independent surveys show that it has the best signal quality with excellent call clarity. The network covers 99 percent of the population, and it has installed more transmitters than any other digital network company. They guarantee that they work the best; in fact, they will even add a free minute of talk time if the call is ever lost. International and off-peak calls are the cheapest in the area. The company has been voted number 1 in customer satisfaction for 5 years in a row.
In the computer world, networks are the primary means of inter-computer communications. The building and maintenance of a network is the responsibility of the network manager. The network manager must have the expertise to design and implement an appropriate network for his client. The proper design of a network is based on more than a few principles. However, the job of the network manager encompasses more than simply building a useable network, although that is the end result.
