What is the main difference between network management and network discovery?

Network management or NMS is focused on monitoring network devices using SNMP, whereas network discovery is primarily used to find all devices on a network, helping technicians gain complete visibility into their environment.

Network discovery helps detect unmanaged or rogue device that may create attack vectors and address them before they expose your organization to risk.

Network discovery quickly discovers new devices added to client networks and brings them under management, ensuring accurate billing and reducing risk from unmanaged endpoints.
