Boost Cybersecurity with Embedded Network Visibility and Intrusion Detection

What is Next Generation Deep Packet Inspection (NG DPI)?

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is a widely deployed technology long used to provide traffic visibility in networking and security solutions. Specifically, it is software that passively analyzes network traffic flows from Layer 2 (data link) to Layer 7 (applications and data) to identify the protocols, applications and services in use, and to extract additional information in the form of metadata to support specific networking and security functions.

Next Generation DPI (NG DPI) has evolved to meet three important challenges:

  • The rise of encrypted traffic, which impacts the essential visibility required to properly manage and secure networks,
  • The emergence of advanced, complex cyberattacks perpetrated by sophisticated criminal actors and nation-states, and
  • The simultaneous rise of cloud and edge computing, with the need to deliver extreme performance in all environments.

NG DPI meets these challenges with these distinguishing capabilities:

  • Encrypted Traffic Classification (ETC)
  • Detection of Anomalous & Evasive Traffic
  • Advanced First Packet Processing
  • Extended Protocol & Application Coverage
  • Optimized Performance Adapted to Both Edge and Cloud Requirements

Advanced DPI and Intrusion Detection for Satellites, Space Probes and Drones

Satellites, space probes and drones are transitioning from relatively simple monitoring or relay stations to intelligent, multi-function edge network nodes. Their growing importance to communications, logistics and defense are making them an essential part of our daily lives and of national critical infrastructure. While technical advances are endowing them with greater on-board data processing and expanded capabilities, this is also raising their vulnerability to cyber attacks. These include data protection weaknesses, denial of service, hardware backdoors, susceptibility to advanced persistent threats, privilege escalation, malware attacks and payload hijacking to name just a few. And all these risks are escalating with the arrival of AI.

The most fundamental element in addressing cybersecurity risks is network visibility. It is required to monitor traffic and enable threat detection capabilities across the global attack surface. Enea’s embedded deep packet inspection and intrusion detection software components support advanced access control, granular monitoring and intrusion detection in commercial and bespoke cybersecurity solutions for satellites, space probes and drones.
