DPI from Cubro - take a look at the packages in even more detail!

Attacks on a network can cause massive damage to an enterprise, and detecting and stopping them is a growing challenge every year. Organizations are having difficulty examining and monitoring network traffic, as cybercriminals are getting better at hiding malicious packets. As a result, new network analysis solutions are constantly being sought.

In the rapidly evolving cybersecurity environment, communications service providers (CSPs) are constantly testing innovations to stay ahead. For CSPs, the challenge is to have access to unique data that can help improve service, build loyalty with existing customers and get on the preferred vendor list.

Deep packet inspection (DPI) using Cubro products

Deep packet inspection (DPI) is an advanced monitoring technique that is useful for telecom operators. The main advantage of DPI is that it provides the most accurate bandwidth information by reading directly from packets. Analysis of digital traffic can reveal very useful information and help operators identify overall consumer behavior. For example: how long do customers join and stay at a given location, what mode of transportation does the customer use. Based on this information, it is possible to optimize resource availability. By examining metadata through deep packet inspection (DPI), network professionals can learn how best to optimize servers to reduce overhead, detect hackers, combat malware and get details on user behavior.

Operators can introduce innovative content-based plans to meet the needs of individual customers, study overall network usage to analyze aggregate behavior, and identify behavioral patterns by application type. They can also ensure quality of service through traffic control and bandwidth allocation, prioritizing popular applications (e.g., YouTube, Netflix or Skype) over other, less sensitive data. From a revenue generation perspective, operators can create plans with different levels of service enforced by the DPI application. In addition, DPI data enables segmentation of customers according to their online behavior, and this data can help operators find alternative ways to generate revenue.
