  1. 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.

  4. DPI for firewalls

    In the era of cloud applications, network firewalls have to be more than just security devices. They must also ensure users have uninterrupted network availability and robust access to cloud-hosted applications. Deep packet inspection (DPI) is the key technology they need to become the crucial factor in ensuring availability and security on distributed networks. Embedded DPI software can search for protocol non-compliance, viruses, spam, intrusions, or defined criteria to decide whether the packet may pass or if it needs to be routed to a different destination. This makes DPI a critical tool for advanced IT security and no firewall should miss an integrated commercial-grade DPI software.

  6. The importance of SD-WANs and the need for application awareness

    In today’s digital economy, businesses rely on connectivity. SD-WANs offer predictable application performance and reliability along with secure, uninterrupted connectivity, but they need to be intelligent or application-aware to ensure advanced security, optimize user experience, enable real-time business decisions, and increase business productivity. With the help of embedded deep packet inspection (DPI) technology, SD-WAN vendors can now deliver intelligent routing, traffic steering and enterprise application performance with advanced reporting capabilities to take SD-WANs to the next level.

  9. Maximizing the potential of ZTNA with deep packet inspection

    In today’s hybrid enterprise environments, zero-trust network access (ZTNA) is becoming increasingly important to improve the end-user experience while ensuring that the network is secured against attacks and malicious activities. This is possible with next-generation DPI software. DPI supports ZTNA in implementing granular, user- and context-aware authentication across different classes of users, devices, clouds and applications. DPI’s ability to identify traffic anomalies can also be used by ZTNA to identify cyberattacks and other threats on enterprise networks.
