A bandwidth monitoring system tracks and analyzes network traffic to detect anomalies, prevent cyber threats, and optimize performance. It helps organizations secure their IoT and IT infrastructure by identifying unauthorized or suspicious activities.

IoT devices generate continuous network traffic, making them vulnerable to cyber threats. Bandwidth monitoring helps detect unusual spikes, unauthorized access attempts, and data exfiltration, enhancing overall security.

Without proper bandwidth monitoring, networks can be vulnerable to DDoS attacks, malware infections, data breaches, and unauthorized resource consumption, leading to operational disruptions and security breaches.

Real-time bandwidth monitoring enables instant threat detection, allowing security teams to respond quickly to cyberattacks, unauthorized access, and unusual data transfers before they escalate into major security incidents.

The retention period varies based on industry regulations and company policies. Some compliance frameworks require storing bandwidth logs for months or even years for auditing and forensic investigations.
