Modern distributed networks introduce a critical operational risk: loss of control during outages. While visibility tools provide monitoring and alerts, they often depend on the same network they are designed to observe. When that network fails, access is lost.

It outlines why OOBM is now essential for maintaining control across thousands of remote sites, reducing downtime, and enforcing governance in high-security environments.
