Harnessing intelligence at the core with DPI for vEPC

The shift from an EPC to a vEPC opens up the possibility for networks to manage capacities as needed while scaling and customizing the network dynamically based on traffic conditions and application requirements. What’s the role of deep packet inspection (DPI) in creating these highly responsive, scalable and agile 4G networks? This article discusses the need for DPI-powered intelligence in the vEPC as DPI provides real-time traffic insights on applications, protocols, traffic attributes, malware and other data required to implement traffic management, security and content management policies, not only across the core but also throughout the network.

Cloud, SaaS and SASE – Three reasons why DEM needs DPI

Users want fast and seamless access to any application they need, with productivity hinging on how well these applications are delivered, regardless of whether they are corporate, cloud or SaaS applications. As such, DEM (Digital experience monitoring) will increasingly enter the focus of all enterprises, which means the need for traffic visibility provided by advanced DPI engines such as R&S®PACE 2 will continue to rise.

Keeping containers and pods safe in the cloud: How network visibility helps

The architecture of microservices often results in an expanded attack surface of cloud-native applications. However, security risks and vulnerabilities inherent in container environments can be mitigated using real-time packet visibility. Find out more about the role of deep packet inspection (DPI) for container network security in the context of microservices and cloud-native applications.

Cutting up the perfect piece: DPI-enhanced traffic intelligence for 5G network slicing

Unlike its predecessor networks, 5G involves network slicing which overlays logical networks on a common infrastructure, creating different ‘slices’ that act as separate networks. This article discusses the need for real-time traffic intelligence for 5G network slicing. It explains 5G network slicing, the 5G usage classes and how real-time intelligence provided by DPI enables the creation and implementation of various traffic management policies as well as how it supports network optimization and monetization.

How advanced traffic identification complements honeypot networks

Honeypot networks are fake IT systems used to bait cyberattackers, learn from them and consequently improve actual cybersecurity. They are designed with a well-placed vulnerability to attract hackers. Once a hacker is in the network, the honeypot allows for monitoring and analyzing the malicious activity. For such networks, deep packet inspection is a great asset. It identifies malicious activity almost instantaneously, helping honeypot networks to detect threats as soon as they enter the network.

Data loss prevention: Risk and reputation management with real-time visibility

To implement data loss prevention (DLP) successfully, organizations must have an in-depth understanding of their business nature, data, transactions, digital assets, endpoints, connectivity, access privileges and existing security policies. This article discusses the need for data loss prevention (DLP) in response to the prevalence of data breaches, infiltration, espionage and data destruction affecting organizations today. It highlights the role of deep packet inspection (DPI) in providing real-time detection of cyber-threats and traffic anomalies and as a means to identify, manage and block both external and insider threats before data security is compromised.
