Network monitoring software

Technology category · O*NET

Network monitoring software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 35 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 76th percentile of AI task-exposure ( high) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.

A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.

Example software & tools

Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

Occupations that use Network monitoring software

Exposure quadrant: AI task-overlap percentile vs Median pay AI task-overlap (horizontal) versus median pay (vertical), each as a percentile across all scored occupations, for 35 occupations in occupations that use Network monitoring software. Overlap measures shared tasks with AI, not automation. Lower overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · lower pay Lower overlap · lower pay Security Guards Security and Fire Alarm Systems Installers Detectives and Criminal Investigators General and Operations Managers Architectural and Engineering Managers Educational, Guidance, and Career Counselors and Advisors Radio Frequency Identification Device Specialists Computer Network Support Specialists Penetration Testers Web Developers AI task-overlap percentile → ↑ Median pay

How AI is used by roles that use Network monitoring software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Network monitoring software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 31.4% of the 35 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (11 roles).

Across those roles, 65.2% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 30.0% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.99 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
task iteration 49.1% you and AI go back and forth
directive 27.4% AI does it; you give the instruction
learning 11.3% you ask AI to explain or teach
validation 4.8% you do it; AI checks your work
feedback loop 2.6% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback

Roles behind this signal

The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Occupation Works with AI Autonomy
Educational, Guidance, School, and Vocational Counselors 70.6% 4.0/5
Operations Research Analysts 55.2% 4.0/5
Public Relations Specialists 65.8% 4.0/5
Sales Engineers 54.1% 4.0/5
Computer and Information Systems Managers 67.7% 4.0/5

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Network monitoring software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.

Industries that concentrate this

Where Network monitoring software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Network monitoring software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.

Nationally, about 8.4% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Network monitoring software (measured across 67 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Sector Workers Employment reach
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 3,059,320 28.4%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 1,420,320 15.7%
Manufacturing 993,200 7.8%
Information 979,020 33.7%
Finance and Insurance 927,760 14.9%
Educational Services 793,500 5.8%
Management of Companies and Enterprises 665,690 23.7%
Retail Trade 588,770 3.8%
Wholesale Trade 574,810 9.5%
Health Care and Social Assistance 489,970 2.1%
Other Services (except Public Administration) 344,760 7.8%
Construction 337,190 4.2%

Industries where it is most concentrated

Industry Level Concentration Employment reach
Information Sector 4.01× 33.7%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Sector 3.38× 28.4%
Management of Companies and Enterprises Sector 2.82× 23.7%
Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities National industry 2.65× 22.3%
Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers National industry 2.63× 22.1%
Engineering Services National industry 2.36× 19.8%
Nuclear Electric Power Generation National industry 2.24× 18.8%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services Sector 1.87× 15.7%
Finance and Insurance Sector 1.77× 14.9%
Testing Laboratories and Services National industry 1.62× 13.6%
Labor Unions and Similar Labor Organizations National industry 1.54× 12.9%
Utilities Sector 1.27× 10.7%

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
