  1. DPI and VPNs: It's obfuscated...

    Virtual private networks (VPN), such as Psiphon, TOR and NordVPN, use various obfuscation techniques, including encryption and dynamic IP addresses, to ensure the security and privacy of data. The same techniques, inadvertently, create huge blind spots in network monitoring, leaving the network open to attacks and abuse. This article assesses how next-gen DPI by ipoque, via a rich repository of VPN signatures, identify VPN services and deliver application and threat awareness.

  2. VPN and visibility: the paradox of secure networking

    Secure connectivity provided by Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) enables enterprises to keep their users connected to enterprise resources. Real-time insights into VPN traffic help enterprises manage not just their own VPN services, but also third-party VPN traffic traversing their networks. This blog post discusses how deep packet inspection (DPI) delivers these insights and how enterprises can use these insights for enhanced performance and security of their networks.

  5. 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.

  8. How COVID-19 became the tipping point for enterprise digital revolution

    Despite the widespread availability of technologies that enable remote working and the remote management of operations and assets, it wasn’t until COVID-19 started shaking up large parts of the economy that enterprises really did rethink their current operational models. This included the way employees executed their daily tasks, how they work with business assets and how their outputs are monitored. The need to steer the business out of lockdowns and movement restrictions propelled most enterprises to work on this realization and saw overnight changes in company work rules, policies and most importantly, pushed the usage of Cloud and SaaS based applications to record levels.

  9. 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.
