3. Shaping application traffic with DPI-powered application delivery controller

   Sitting between the external firewall and a web farm, today’s cloud-based application delivery controllers (ADCs) play a very important role in managing application traffic across highly distributed architectures. This article discusses how the evolution of ADCs requires deep network visibility and how deep packet inspection (DPI) can be used to power a number of key functionalities that span access control, security, content management and SSL termination. It highlights DPI’s VPP-driven traffic filtering capacity and how this can be used to enhance virtualized, cloud-based ADCs.

4. How subscriber awareness augments mobile network security

   Conventional load balancing across mobile networks leaves network security functions with huge visibility gaps. Furthermore, in the context of 5G, the need for higher bandwidth and speeds across applications that are data-intensive and that connect to multiple end nodes simultaneously poses new challenges for operators. R&S®GSRM in combination with R&S®PACE 2 delivers deeper, more granular insights into the risks and vulnerabilities that are present in a mobile network. Operators benefit from enhanced network intelligence to manage and improve mobile network security.

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.

7. 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.
