WindowSecurity.com has some great white papers about network security. There are reviews of the top 100 network security tools online at sectools.org
The network security tools that you should have in place include firewalls, proxy servers, encryption, logical security and access controls, anti-virus software and log management tools. It is also vital to make sure that everything has been updated to the most current versions available ensure network security.

Integrated network management systems are made up of network monitoring and network analysis tools.
A network manager would like to have network management capabilities when (a) a component of the network fails, (b) a component of the network is about to fail, and is acting "flaky" (c) a component of the network has been compromised from a security standpoint and is attacking the network, e.g., by launching a DOS attack by flooding the network with packets, (d) traffic levels exceed a certain threshold on a link, causing packets to be dropped, (e) everything is running smoothly (in order to know that everything is running smoothly and there are no problems). There are many additional reasons as well.

Network management is defined as activities, methods, procedures, and tools that assit in the operation of maintenance, administration, and provisioning of a given network system.
Some common tools used for network hacking (for ethical testing and security research) include: Nmap – Scans networks to discover devices, open ports, and services. Wireshark – Captures and analyzes network traffic for vulnerabilities. Aircrack-ng – Used for testing Wi-Fi network security. Metasploit – Helps simulate attacks to test network defenses. Ettercap – Supports man-in-the-middle attacks for sniffing and injection. At SafeAeon, our security experts use these tools responsibly for authorized penetration testing and network assessments to strengthen client defenses and prevent real-world threats.
For mapping a target network in Army cyber security, tools like Nmap (Network Mapper) are highly effective. Nmap can discover hosts and services on a network by sending packets and analyzing the responses, allowing for detailed mapping of the network topology. Additionally, tools like Zenmap, the graphical interface for Nmap, can enhance usability and visualization of the network structure. Together, these tools provide critical insights into network configurations and potential vulnerabilities.
As an application server its fails as Windows NT beats it on this case. Poor at printing data/information network status and management. It has build in network management tools that are not powerful
