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.

Networks can’t afford lockdowns: Identifying cyber-threats before they become endemic

The sudden increase in cyber-attacks during the pandemic can mostly be attributed to the unexpected shift to remote working, which caused delays in the deployment of security projects as IT teams struggled with overloaded VPNs and a host of personal devices that needed to be patched remotely. Just last month, US cybersecurity firm FireEye was hit by what it suspects to be state-sponsored cyber-attackers looking to steal information on FireEye’s government clients. How did it happen and how could it have been mitigated? Read more in our latest blog post by Stephan Klokow.

vCPE and uCPE: How much cloud do we really need?

CPE virtualization abolishes proprietary hardware, vendor lock-in, congested rack space and expensive on-site maintenance. How has the cloud transformed CPE and what are the CPE deployment models that best fit today’s diverse traffic? This blog post discusses virtualized CPE (vCPE) and universal CPE (uCPE) in the context of how DPI enables the development of network architectures that are aligned to today’s traffic needs. It illustrates in detail how deep intelligence on traffic and applications enables the optimization of CPE architecture covering options that include on-premises, data center and cloud deployments and the assessment of these options in terms of overall cost, network efficiency and application performance.

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.

Unlock 5G speeds and low latencies with high-performance DPI for ultra-fast networks

One of the key decision factors in deploying deep packet inspection (DPI) and choosing a solution that best fits one’s network needs, is cost. This evaluation is particularly important in 5G, where traffic is expected to record phenomenal growth rates over the coming years. With 5G, a network-wide upgrade of the underlying computing capacity is inevitable. However, what often baffles operators, is figuring out the exact upgrade requirements needed to support new 5G traffic volumes and the lower latencies, and ensuring that those upgrades meet the overall 5G network performance needs. Our new blog post discusses how underlying server processing capabilities influence the speed and throughput of a DPI library, demonstrated by a series of tests conducted by ipoque in collaboration with Intel®.
