Still Have Questions About Network Monitoring?

Everything You Want to Know—Answered

What exactly is network monitoring and how does it work?2025-05-28T15:59:05-04:00

Network monitoring is the ongoing, automated process of observing and analyzing the performance, availability, and security of your IT infrastructure—both physical and virtual. This includes devices like routers, switches, servers, endpoints, and firewalls, as well as cloud-based platforms.

At HERO, we use real-time monitoring tools to track the health of your systems 24/7. When abnormal activity is detected—such as bandwidth spikes, CPU overloads, device failure, or security threats—our system instantly alerts our support team. From there, we can diagnose and resolve the issue quickly, often before end users even know there’s a problem.

By continuously watching over your network, HERO helps prevent downtime, enforce compliance, and maintain optimal performance across your business.

Why is 24/7 network monitoring important for small and midsize businesses?2025-05-28T15:59:32-04:00

For small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), every minute of uptime counts. A single network outage can halt operations, interrupt customer service, and lead to significant revenue loss or brand damage—especially if the issue occurs after hours or on weekends.

HERO’s 24/7 network monitoring ensures that your systems are protected at all times, not just during business hours. Whether it’s a holiday, weekend, or the middle of the night, our monitoring platform remains active—tracking device performance, service availability, and security risks.

This always-on protection is particularly valuable for businesses with remote workers, cloud-based tools, VoIP phone systems, or compliance requirements. We proactively detect and respond to issues in real-time to keep your network stable, secure, and operational—no matter what time it is.

Will I be notified when a network issue is detected? How are alerts handled?2025-05-28T16:00:02-04:00

Yes—HERO provides full transparency and immediate communication. Our network monitoring system is configured to detect a wide range of issues including device failures, suspicious activity, bandwidth saturation, dropped connections, and more.

Once a critical threshold is reached, the system generates an alert which is routed to our Network Operations Center (NOC) for review. Depending on your service level agreement (SLA), we may:

  • Begin troubleshooting immediately
  • Notify your designated point of contact
  • Escalate to an on-call engineer for urgent resolution

All alerts are logged, timestamped, and included in your monthly reporting. We also work with you to define which alerts you want to be notified about directly and which should be handled behind the scenes by our team.

Can HERO monitor cloud-based platforms in addition to onsite systems?2025-05-28T16:00:36-04:00

Absolutely. HERO’s network monitoring services are designed for both on-premises environments and modern, cloud-first infrastructures. Whether your systems run in Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, or hybrid setups, we offer full visibility into network health, cloud service status, uptime, latency, and overall system performance.

For example, we can monitor the availability and usage of:

  • Microsoft 365 services like Outlook and SharePoint
  • Azure virtual machines and firewalls
  • VPN tunnels and secure remote connections
  • Cloud backups and storage services

Our tools integrate seamlessly across environments so that your IT team—and ours—can manage and support your entire digital ecosystem with one unified monitoring dashboard.

How does network monitoring help improve cybersecurity?2025-05-28T16:01:08-04:00

Network monitoring is a critical layer in any cybersecurity strategy. While firewalls and antivirus software are essential, they are reactive. Network monitoring, by contrast, provides proactive detection of unusual behavior before it becomes a full-blown threat.

HERO’s system identifies early indicators of compromise, such as:

  • Unusual login activity or access from foreign IPs
  • Failed authentication attempts or brute-force attacks
  • Suspicious outbound traffic (e.g., data exfiltration)
  • Unauthorized device connections to your network

When a potential threat is detected, our response team investigates immediately, isolating affected devices and remediating vulnerabilities to contain the risk. Combined with patch management and endpoint protection, network monitoring acts as a real-time intrusion detection and prevention layer—critical for data security and regulatory compliance.

Does network monitoring slow down my systems or internet connection?2025-05-28T16:01:32-04:00

No, HERO’s network monitoring tools are designed to be lightweight and non-intrusive. They run silently in the background, consuming minimal bandwidth and system resources.

Instead of constantly pushing or pulling data, the system uses efficient polling intervals and smart event-based triggers to collect metrics and send alerts. This ensures that your day-to-day business operations, internet speed, and application performance remain unaffected.

Whether you’re running bandwidth-heavy services like VoIP, video conferencing, or cloud storage syncs—our monitoring won’t interfere. It simply works behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly.

Do I need to purchase any hardware or equipment to use HERO’s monitoring solution?2025-05-28T16:01:55-04:00

In most cases, no additional hardware is required. HERO’s network monitoring solution is software-based and works with your existing network equipment—including routers, firewalls, switches, and endpoints.

During onboarding, our technicians will conduct a network assessment to ensure compatibility and optimal configuration. We then deploy secure monitoring agents or set up remote probes where needed, without disrupting your environment.

If you have older infrastructure or legacy systems, we’ll advise on best practices and upgrades—but there’s no required investment in new hardware to get started.

Will I receive reports or visibility into what HERO monitors?2025-05-28T16:02:26-04:00

Yes. Transparency is a key part of our service. As a client, you’ll receive detailed reports and dashboards that show:

  • Device and network uptime
  • Alerts that occurred and how they were resolved
  • Patch compliance status
  • Bandwidth and usage trends
  • Security risks or vulnerabilities detected

These reports are delivered monthly or on a schedule you prefer and can be customized based on your role (technical, executive, compliance, etc.). They help you make data-driven decisions and demonstrate your IT stability to stakeholders, auditors, or regulators.

Is network monitoring included in HERO’s Managed IT Services?2025-05-28T16:02:50-04:00

Yes—our 24/7 network monitoring platform is included in all HERO Managed IT and Co-Managed IT plans. It’s a foundational part of how we deliver proactive IT support, minimize downtime, and secure your environment.

For businesses with internal IT teams, our monitoring services can also be delivered standalone in a Co-Managed model—giving your staff the benefit of enterprise-grade alerting and escalation without needing to build or manage it themselves.

Whether you outsource all of IT to HERO or simply need enhanced visibility and responsiveness, our monitoring solution fits seamlessly into your support structure.
