RFDPI Engine | |
---|---|
Feature: | Description: |
Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) | This high-performance, proprietary and patented inspection engine performs stream-based bi-directional traffic analysis, without proxying or buffering, to uncover intrusion attempts, malware and identify application traffic regardless of port. |
Bi-directional inspection | Scans for threats in both inbound and outbound traffic simultaneously to ensure that the network is not used to distribute malware, and does not become a launch platform for attacks in case an infected machine is brought inside. |
Stream-based inspection | Proxy-less and non-buffering inspection technology provides ultra-low latency performance for DPI of millions of simultaneous network streams without introducing file and stream size limitations, and can be applied on common protocols as well as raw TCP streams. |
Highly parallel and scalable | The unique design of the RFDPI engine works with the multi-core architecture to provide high DPI throughput and extremely high new session establishment rates to deal with traffic spikes in demanding networks. |
Single-pass inspection | A single-pass DPI architecture simultaneously scans for malware, intrusions and for application identification, drastically reducing DPI latency and ensuring that all threat information is correlated in a single architecture. |

Feature: | Description: |
User activity tracking | User identification and activity are made available through seamless AD/LDAP/Citrix/Terminal Services SSO integration combined with extensive information obtained through DPI. |
GeoIP country traffic identification | Identifies and controls network traffic going to or coming from specific countries to either protect against attacks from known or suspected origins of threat activity, or to investigate suspicious traffic originating from the network. Ability to create custom country and Botnet lists to override an incorrect country or Botnet tag associated with an IP address. Eliminates unwanted filtering of IP addresses due to misclassification. |
Regular Expression DPI filtering | Prevents data leakage by identifying and controlling content crossing the network through regular expression matching. Ability to create custom country and Botnet lists to override an incorrect country or Botnet tag associated with an IP address. |
