Handling Log4j security vulnerabilities with deep packet inspection
Log4j is a library used by Java developers to record or log network events. However, recently it has come to light that Log4j allows for significant security breaches and attacks. Log4j security vulnerabilities have taken the IT world by storm. A simple email message can be manipulated to instruct Log4j to leak critical data over the Internet, execute crypto mining and launch ransomware. DPI can stave off such threats by offering real-time detection of Log4jShell exploits and the real-time identification of consequential attacks on the system.

Commercial vs open-source DPI: Does it matter?
Commercial DPI takes traffic detection a notch higher via its ability to detect encrypted and obfuscated traffic. This inherently requires advanced methods such as statistical and behavioral analysis and machine learning, technologies that are not available in the open-source versions. This article debates the advantages of commercial vs. open-source DPI. While it shares the merits of both options, it highlights the reliability, superior performance, efficiency, security and service consistency provided by vendors of commercial DPI and how these qualities help network administrators and managers monitor and secure their networks more effectively.
