Network management involves administering, controlling, and monitoring an organization\u2019s network. For most companies, the top priority for network teams is ensuring the continuous availability of critical business services, even during disruptive events like natural disasters, ransomware attacks, and infrastructure failures. Network resilience<\/a> is the ability to continue operating (if in a degraded state) and delivering digital services in the face of adversity. This guide discusses the network management best practices for improving and supporting network resilience.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
