ClearView is a comprehensive approach to IT management that allows organizations and managed service providers (MSPs) to monitor, maintain, and manage IT systems and infrastructure remotely. Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools and practices are especially crucial for ensuring the health, security, and efficiency of computer networks, servers, endpoints, and other devices. Threats come from outside and inside your network. Even if you have a firewall and patch management in place, you are constantly visible to intruders. They may not be able to get in at this moment, but they’re always looking toward the next. This means it’s good practice to test your security at regular intervals. Firewalls only work as well as they’re configured. That configuration must be updated to keep up with emerging threats. One update might be a simple change to one setting. But if your administrator allows incomplete updates to stack up, they’ll end up with a complicated task in a short period of time. If that administrator is replaced and leaves no documentation, the new person may not even know where to start. Inside threats are different. They often get placed when someone finds a way to get them through the firewall. Malicious software can sit dormant for days or months and then activate on command. The key to preventing an outbreak throughout the network, or even a little data stream from heading out into the world, is containment.
