Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Resiliency

Measure deep packet inspection (DPI) resiliency    

 

DPI functionality allows network devices such as content-aware switches and routers, next-generation firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and application delivery controllers to inspect and take action based on the contents and context of packets as they travel across the network. DPI is heavily leveraged in helping to prevent buffer overflow attacks, denial of service (DoS) attacks and intrusions. DPI is also a critical component of Lawful Intercept and Data Loss Prevention systems. 

Measuring DPI performance and security with the BreakingPoint Storm CTM™

Effective assessment of DPI functionality requires an authentic blend of real-world application traffic combined with live security strikes at line-rate speeds. The BreakingPoint Storm CTM emits extreme application traffic and malicious attacks into DPI-capable cyber infrastructure components. It then measures and displays the effects of the traffic on the device over time and the performance of the DPI functionality to provide a clear picture of any weaknesses or vulnerabilities in the device.

The BreakingPoint Storm CTM delivers more than 100 application protocols and thousands of security strikes for validating any DPI-capable device. At the same time, the product can also simulate millions of users and push traffic at line-rate speed. This combination of realism and high-performance is critical in assessing and validating the performance and security of DPI devices.
