Encrypted traffic intelligence for network traffic analysis

Encryption greatly enhances the security and privacy of data. However, it introduces new challenges in terms of network monitoring and security, as it gives networks only limited visibility into the underlying traffic flows. To reinstate traffic awareness across IP networks, ipoque has enhanced its OEM deep packet inspection (DPI) technology with encrypted traffic intelligence (ETI) for accurate and highly reliable, real-time analysis of encrypted traffic. ETI complements ipoque’s market-leading traffic identification and classification methodologies and metadata extraction to deliver granular visibility for protocols, applications and services that are encrypted.

By integrating R&S®GSRM (GTP Subscriber Resolving Module) as OEM software, vendors boost their solutions with reliable subscriber awareness. This subscriber-level traffic visibility empowers network packet brokers and IP probes with session-aware traffic aggregation, filtering and load balancing capabilities enabling mobile network operators to optimize network performance, manage quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) for their subscribers.

Solution brief R&S®GSRM

To circumvent the limitations of traditional load balancing, network packet brokers can deploy the GTP Subscriber Resolving Module R&S®GSRM, which is developed by ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company, to deliver subscriber and session awareness for the mobile core network. Using identification information provided by R&S®GSRM, a network packet broker is able to aggregate all packets of a session and filter them by each subscriber. Packets from the same session are forwarded to a single device such as an IP probe, providing complete visibility for any end device, across any user session. With GTP correlation, operators do not have to rely on bandwidth-intensive, traditional session analysis, which is limited due to its inability to scale up to rapidly increasing traffic volumes in the core.

Reinstating cloud visibility with deep packet inspection

Deep packet inspection software delivers cloud visibility by equipping analytics intermediaries with application awareness which can be used to select and forward cloud traffic to a wide range of monitoring, security and network management tools. For distributed applications hosted and delivered from different clouds, the analysis provided by R&S®PACE 2 ensures that no gaps are left unattended in managing and delivering critical applications. Likewise, R&S®PACE 2 enables further optimization of cloud security management by coupling inspection of traffic anomalies with application awareness.

Handling Log4j security vulnerabilities with DPI

Log4j is a library used by Java developers to record or log network events. However, recently it has come to light that Log4j allows for significant security breaches and attacks. Log4j security vulnerabilities have taken the IT world by storm. A simple email message can be manipulated to instruct Log4j to leak critical data over the Internet, execute crypto mining and launch ransomware. DPI can stave off such threats by offering real-time detection of Log4jShell exploits and the real-time identification of consequential attacks on the system.
