Managing a nonprofitβs network infrastructure effectively is crucial for ensuring security, performance, and reliability. Fortunately, several powerful network monitoring and management tools offer premium subscriptions free to nonprofits. Below are two excellent options:
ntop offers ntopng, which is an advanced network traffic monitoring tool that provides real-time visibility into network usage and security threats. It offers a web-based interface for tracking bandwidth consumption, detecting anomalies, and analyzing network protocols. With built-in support for deep packet inspection (DPI), ntopng helps nonprofits identify potential security risks and optimize network performance. Nonprofits can access premium ntopng features for free, allowing them to maintain a secure and efficient network infrastructure without financial constraints.
