1. Cutting up the perfect piece: DPI-enhanced traffic intelligence for 5G network slicing

   Unlike its predecessor networks, 5G involves network slicing which overlays logical networks on a common infrastructure, creating different ‘slices’ that act as separate networks. This article discusses the need for real-time traffic intelligence for 5G network slicing. It explains 5G network slicing, the 5G usage classes and how real-time intelligence provided by DPI enables the creation and implementation of various traffic management policies as well as how it supports network optimization and monetization.

8. 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.
