The challenge: IP traffic visibility to enable network perimeter protection

T-Sense combines real-time and big data technologies with a non-intrusive approach that enables complete network perimeter protection from infrastructure to the application level. To provide such wide coverage, T-Sense requires full visibility into all aspects of the network traffic as well as real-time classification capabilities at all times. In order to obtain all the traffic metadata required to simplify network monitoring and provide full network visibility to their customers, CELARE needed a highly performant deep packet inspection solution.

CELARE chooses DPI from ipoque due to technical leadership

CELARE focuses on analyzing network behavior and building a contextual layer for research and investigation purposes. In order to concentrate efforts on their core business and market objectives, they decided not to invest the time and effort required to develop a cutting-edge DPI engine from scratch. After a thorough market analysis, CELARE decided that the advanced DPI engine R&S®PACE 2 by ipoque meets their specifications in terms of supported protocols and applications as well as the required extension capabilities and ease of use to integrate it as a part of their secure networking platform.

    “Our customers are increasingly seeing the need to protect their highly sensitive IT and SCADA controlled infrastructure against malware and attacks. We decided to license R&S®PACE 2 from ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company, as we recognized their technical leadership in deep packet inspection and behavioral analysis."

    A reliable network monitoring solution for the best performance

    The embedded capabilities of the highly performant DPI engine R&S®PACE 2 make T-Sense a scalable software-based sensor for continuous network monitoring to discover and classify network devices, applications, services and suspicious activities over the network optimized to offer the best performance. The capabilities of R&S®PACE 2 enable T-Sense to support real-time pattern matching of large amounts of data. The customization of metadata extraction allows for better decision-making based on highly accurate data. The software-based solution combines a variety of cutting-edge technologies and uses a non-intrusive approach to get better visibility over the network and anticipate where and how attacks will appear.

      “We are pleased that ipoque was able to provide the metadata and content extraction functionality we needed to offer the best service and product to our customers.”

      -Sharon Uziel, CTO at CELARE-

      T-Sense with integrated DPI functionality addresses the need for overall network perimeter protection, from the infrastructure to the application level, providing clear visibility of what is happening in their network to security and IT teams.
