<p>The invention is a network management system that is placed in communication with an existing network. The network management system interposes an intermediate advanced intelligence device between the network management system and the client network. This insertion functions to provide additional security, communication ability and decision-making ability to the management of network systems. The network management system combines trending performance management with intrusion detection to develop an event correlation from multiple data sources. Specifically, data is gathered from multiple sources, a correlation between events and performance data as it relates to security and system optimization, is created, and information is provided to a monitor at the network management system, with additional information provided to a user at the existing network location.</p> |
