Rohde & Schwarz has recently demonstrated its deep packet inspection (DPI) that enables cybersecurity vendors to strengthen their solutions and hold off hackers. Ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company, provides an easy-to-integrate, scalable and customizable turnkey DPI solution. The Pace 2 DPI engine delivers comprehensive network visibility, adds IP traffic analytics capabilities to network security devices and provides granular information on applications and protocols for proper classification. The engine classifies thousands of applications and protocols, extracting content and metadata regardless of whether the protocols use advanced obfuscation, port hopping techniques or encryption, and offers metrics and heuristics from IP traffic in real time. When applied to network security solutions, developers can facilitate the secure delivery of critical applications and services.
