L2-L7 Classification and Threat Insights for SWG

Secure Web Gateways (SWG) are invaluable for keeping networks safe when employees use corporate devices to surf the web or access non-approved SaaS applications. Deployed on-premise or on the cloud (as in SASE or SSE solutions), they include a variety of security functions such as application control, antivirus screening, intrusion detection/protection (IDS/IPS), web application filtering (WAF), sandboxing, SSL inspection and data loss prevention (DLP). To successfully fulfil its role, every SWG must provide relevant traffic intelligence to each unique function. This requires inspection of all inbound Layer 7 HTTP/HTTPs traffic, whether encrypted or not, and the accurate identification and classification of applications.

Enea’s embedded next-generation Deep Packet Inspection engine (NG DPI), Qosmos ixEngine, provides advanced traffic intelligence that raises threat detection accuracy and improves policy enforcement. It is the only DPI engine that can provide the precision, granularity and extended performance required for today’s SWG requirements.

Next-Gen DPI for SWG

Enea’s Next-Gen DPI Engine, Qosmos ixEngine, allows Secure Web Gateways (SWG) vendors to:

  • Develop granular policies based on actions within specific applications
  • Improve reactivity by detecting potential threats from the first packet in a flow
  • Protect privacy by using encrypted traffic classification to reduce the need for decryption
  • Gain efficiency by meeting the inspection needs of multiple SWG functions with a single Enea Qosmos ixEngine instance

 

Qosmos NG DPI engine provides the precision, granularity and extended performance required for today’s SWG requirements.
