High Throughput Software Probe with Network Visibility & Intrusion Detection Capabilities

Software-based Network Sensor with DPI & Threat Detection Capabilities

Enea’s Qosmos Probe is an advanced, high throughput, software-based network sensor that delivers non-intrusive visibility into network infrastructures and intrusion detection.

Powered by Enea’s Qosmos ixEngine®, the market leading next-generation Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine, the Qosmos Probe identifies and classifies network traffic in real time. It also integrates capabilities from Enea’s threat detection engine, which is based on Suricata. Using a library of 4900+ protocols & applications, it provides detailed visibility into all network flows, including encrypted and evasive traffic. Its intrusion detection capabilities support Suricata rules syntax, including commercial rulesets, opensource rulesets and custom, user-defined Suricata rules.

Delivered as a software component, the Qosmos Probe operates entirely in passive mode, analyzing a copy of the network traffic without impacting live flows. It supports fast data capture mechanisms such as DPDK and OVS, and runs on any type of infrastructure (physical, virtualized and hybrid). It has a Netconf interface for configuration and aggregation of different variables to create specific KPIs in the Traffic Matrix. It also has APIs to standard interfaces for real-time and batch reporting.
