Network monitoring and observability tools gather data across the entire network into a dashboard of topology, connections and operating parameters; they identify the interfaces that provisioning code must invoke; they measure drift, the unauthorised or ad hoc configuration changes that alter performance and security parameters despite infrastructure as code, and alert for correction; they feed centralised management tools that build secure overlays such as virtual segmentation on top of a provider's native segmentation; and they generate the alerts and threat intelligence the security operations centre handles, increasingly through security orchestration, automation and response.
The graph holds this control, the 0 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
