Malware detection
Review existing literature and industry publications and explain the benefits of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) for one of the following cases:
1) Malware detection
2) QoS/Traffic prioritization
Please also include the business importance of DPI as if you are explaining it to your CEO or another important non-technical person.
Question 2
Does DPI support (compatible with) TLS? Explain. If yes, how does it work with TLS? Describe.
Question 3 - Weekly Learning and Reflection
In two to three paragraphs of prose (i.e., sentences, not bullet lists) using APA style citations if needed, summarize and interact with the content that was covered this week in class. In your summary, you should highlight the major topics, theories, practices, and knowledge that were covered. Your summary should also interact with the material through personal observations, reflections, and applications to the field of study. In particular, highlight what surprised, enlightened, or otherwise engaged you. Make sure to include at least one thing that you’re still confused about or ask a question about the content or the field. In other words, you should think and write critically not just about what was presented but also what you have learned through the session. Questions asked here will be summarized and answered anonymously in the next class. +400 words
The final area we explored was how deep packet inspection works with Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. TLS protocols are cryptographic protocols designed to provide additional security when transmitting sensitive information across networks and the Internet in general; this helps ensure that only authorized individuals have access to this data while keeping it safe from prying eyes at all times. We learned that while TLS does not explicitly support DPI itself, many organizations use third-party tools which allow them to integrate their own custom packet inspection rules into their TLS setup so they can still benefit from its powerful protections without compromising security in any way.
Overall I found our session on deep packet inspection very insightful and interesting as I had not heard much about it before but now understand why it’s such an important tool for cybersecurity professionals everywhere! However I am still confused about what kind of threat analysis techniques are available when using PI – e.g.., signature-based vs heuristic?
