We should probably try to be more generic here.

Maybe Apps/Net/Monitoring ?

Probably network monitoring could be in Apps/Net/Monitoring ?
does antiviruses have menu entries ?

Maybe that could be Apps/Editors/Web ?
We could also have a Apps/Editors/I18N for programs for l10n people.
Could you post the tree of sections ?
We will probably have to make simulations, but I think adding
subsubsections produce on average more usable menus that adding
subsections at this stage.
