1. Cloud native networks: gearing up for an agile future

   At one time, businesses were content deploying their own IT infrastructure, adding more hardware and appliances as transactions and operations grew. They then saw the limitations of proprietary hardware in scaling growth and saw how cloud and virtualization gave them the computing resources they needed to deploy and run their applications on a flexible, on-demand model. Efficiency gains however, are not the only push factors for the adoption of cloud-native networks.

2. Real-time visibility at the network edge via vector packet processing-based DPI

   Connecting a rapidly growing network that is highly distributed requires a powerful network edge equipped with real-time application awareness. Graphiant partnered with ipoque to embed the VPP-based DPI engine R&S®vPACE in the Graphiant Network Edge. The deployment of R&S®vPACE allows Graphiant to combine application visibility and policy control at performance levels for the modern edge, leveraging the speeds and capacity enabled by a VPP-based DPI technology. Discover all details and benefits in our joint case study,

3. Solution guide - Next generation deep packet inspection software

   Next-gen DPI technology from ipoque provides granular insights into IP traffic by detecting protocols, applications and even application attributes and services (for example video, audio, chat or file transfers in a messaging client). Metadata extraction reveals specific information on speed, latency, user locations, jitter, bandwidth consumption, type of devices, etc. With a wide range of traffic classification methods, including port-based matching, pattern matching, behavioral analysis and statistical/heuristic analysis, the ipoque DPI solutions provide more than standard DPI and deliver modern networks with what they need most – intelligence.

4. SASE: Conquering the ever expanding enterprise edge

   Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a network architecture that allows enterprises to securely connect remote users and devices to the enterprise-wide area network(WAN). SASE essentially combines ‘network-as-a-service’ with ‘security-as-a-service’ to provide enterprises, especially those with a growing number of edge connections covering branches, mobile workers, remote workers and IoT devices, the means to monitor, manage and secure their enterprise networks and assets. If SASE will be the crucial architecture for securing and managing the ever-expanding enterprise perimeter, deep packet inspection is the logical complement, providing real-time intelligence at every point along the way.

5. 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.

6. 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.

8. 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.

9. Seeing the unseen: enhancing application observability through DPI

   Observability has become an important component in application performance monitoring, as application telemetry continues to grow broader, deeper and more granular. It ranges from broad data on network conditions such as latency and speeds, to granular insights on each server. It sheds light on each individual transaction that collectively make up the performance of the application. Why is observability important for APM and what is the role of DPI in it?
