Civil engineering (General) Todays, with complicated networks spread around the world, each action that happens or does not happen to a network can affect its state of compliance. Therefore, network compliance is of great significance to any organization and in this area the important point is that, each network infrastructure device namely; Router, Switch, Access point, Firewall etc. has a unique configuration file, containing hundreds of settings, rules and various other options. If the configuration changes are done manually the opportunity for errors is enormous. To make secure network and in that connection organizational data security and integrity, there is a need to have a tool to monitor changes to the network.
