How DPI is transforming next-gen secure web gateways

A secure web gateway (SWG) acts as a checkpoint that enforces an enterprise’s Internet access policies. It blocks unauthorized web access, regulates Internet usage and optimizes bandwidth by restricting unimportant sites. This article discusses how application awareness by DPI boosts its core functionalities comprising access and policy control, security and analytics across cloud, SaaS and enterprise applications. It also looks at the rich security and WAN management services that SWG vendors can enable across their suite of solutions, leveraging DPI’s granular and accurate traffic insights.

Powering network edge ‘as-a-service’ with DPI-driven traffic intelligence

High-speed traffic filtering enables edge service providers to monitor traffic traversing data centers, branches, cloud infrastructure and home offices at scale. This article explores the deployment of R&S®vPACE for network edge “as-a-service” solutions, focusing on ipoque’s recent partnership with Graphiant, a provider of next-generation edge services. It examines how real-time traffic visibility across the network edge powers traffic management, access control, security and network optimization.

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, Digital experience monitoring (DEM) 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.

How COVID-19 became the tipping point for enterprise digital revolution

Despite the widespread availability of technologies that enable remote working and the remote management of operations and assets, it wasn’t until COVID-19 started shaking up large parts of the economy that enterprises really did rethink their current operational models. This included the way employees executed their daily tasks, how they work with business assets and how their outputs are monitored. The need to steer the business out of lockdowns and movement restrictions propelled most enterprises to work on this realization and saw overnight changes in company work rules, policies and most importantly, pushed the usage of Cloud and SaaS based applications to record levels.
