Enterprise-Class Features:
Secure SNMPv3 Monitoring

CITTIO understands the importance of network health and security. WatchTower offers the option to deploy the full power of the latest iteration of the SNMP standard, SNMPv3, to securely monitor and manage all the devices in your network—servers, workstations, routers, switches, appliances, etc. SNMPv3 provides secured network communication with discovery definitions that protect sensitive data messages through the use of MD5 and SHA hashes. If you are in financial services, have an online business or are a government agency – WatchTower offers the secure monitoring you are looking for.
