What is deep packet inspection (DPI) and why do we need it? An in-depth guide.

Deep packet inspection (DPI) provides traffic awareness and visibility. It classifies traffic by protocols, applications and services and helps to detect flows that are malicious, suspicious and anomalous. Next-gen, advanced DPI solutions merge pattern matching with statistical, behavioral and heuristic analyses and AI-based methods such as machine learning and deep learning to deliver real-time traffic intelligence for various networking and cybersecurity use cases. Learn more in this article.

Whitepaper ipoque DPI - encrypted traffic intelligence (ETI)
Whitepaper

Encrypted traffic visibility

Encryption is rapidly becoming synonymous with network security and privacy. However, encryption presents challenges in the form of diminished network visibility and control which can be disruptive to networks that are highly reliant on deep network insights into managing and securing their data and assets. This whitepaper reviews encryption protocols, loss of traffic visibility and the associated adverse impact on network functionalities. It provides insights on how the incorporation of encypted traffic intelligence (ETI), including cutting-edge ML / DL techniques, circumvents the limitations associated with conventional deep packet inspection.

Will encryption and regulation obsolete DPI?

The ongoing importance of network visibility stimulates more and more discussions whether encryption and increasing regulation will make DPI obsolete. Nevertheless, DPI remains important despite increasing encryption, especially for network visibility, security measures and resource allocation. Encrypted traffic intelligence (ETI) can complement DPI to restore visibility into encrypted network traffic. It combines advanced DPI with artificial intelligence and machine learning to gain insights into the encrypted data traffic.

    How next-gen DPI addresses the shortcomings of SSL/TLS inspection

    Decryption using SSL/TLS inspection is admittedly the simplest method to address the loss of traffic visibility due to encryption. Deciphering the payload information provides all the prerequisite information at the packet level, allowing network administrators to manage and secure traffic flows effectively and efficiently. This article highlights the shortcomings of SSL/TLS. It discusses how next-gen DPI, equipped with encrypted traffic intelligence (ETI) addresses these limitations by combining advanced techniques such as machine learning, deep learning and advanced caching.
