Recording of the network infrastructure including review of automation possibilities

Abstract

The company network is grown historically and is maintained by local IT system engineers at the locations. This results in a complex and partially inconsistent network which is also reflected in its documentation. Harmonization efforts have been made but the standardization across the company has still room for improvement. Especially, global visibility is not as desired and is the main pain point from an information security standpoint. Manually ensuring that the network documentation is up-to-date and complete is impossible in practice.
