  3. 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.
