Regulus Cyber: Exhibitor at the Israeli National Pavilion at GPEC^® 2024, Stand A60

Since the outbreak of the most recent Gaza war on October 7th, Regulus has gone through a significant evolution in terms of solution capabilities as well as massively scaled-up production capacity. When the war broke out, Regulus technical teams were at the office within the hour. Responding to Israeli MoD demand, in less than 24 hours our team prepared all Ring units that were on the shelves. Within days, the devices were deployed in combat and being integrated on various platforms from armored vehicles to maritime assets. 
Since then, hundreds of units have been delivered to the Israeli MoD. With near-daily feedback from the field, Regulus is developing new features and capabilities which will assist all Ring users with their C-UxS challenges.

Dealing with the increased demand required creative solutions to reduce lead times. We streamlined and optimized our supply-chain from planning and ordering to inventory management. At first it was all-hands-on-deck and the teams were pulling all-night sessions. Today we are able to produce 20+ units per week as a matter of routine, with additional flex capacity. 
FEBRUARY - We held a live field demonstration in Israel for more than 30 foreign military attaches from 15 countries. Numerous scenarios including swarm “attacks” with a variety of drone models were conducted, all successfully disrupted by our Ring unit. A kill–switch scenario was also employed using our infantry-carryable manpack model which weighs only 6 kilos and was activated by one of the visiting guests.

Latest survey on traffic visibility for ZTNA shows over half of ZTNA vendors expect severe security implications from a lack of visibility; adoption of DPI for real-time traffic intelligence is expected to grow in the next 3 years

Leipzig, Germany, March 20, 2024 — ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company and a leading provider of next-gen deep packet inspection (DPI) software today published key findings of its latest research report ‘Next-gen DPI for ZTNA: Advanced traffic detection for real-time identity and context awareness’. The report finds poor traffic visibility affecting 90.7% of zero trust network access (ZTNA) vendors, compromising identity and context awareness that forms the basis of zero-trust strategies. The research also finds an overwhelming 92.6% of ZTNA vendors anticipating a rise in security vulnerabilities due to inadequate visibility, with 55.6% of vendors expecting the implication to be severe. The report, which is based on a survey of 55 leading ZTNA vendors, took place in November last year and was jointly conducted by ipoque and The Fast Mode, a leading telecoms/IT publication.
Assessing network and traffic intelligence that underpin the implementation of ZTNA, the report aims to uncover visibility challenges and the role of DPI in fortifying zero-trust executions. ZTNA merges access control and security in a cloud-based model, leveraging principles such as microsegmentation and least privilege access (LPA). “Trends in Cloud, SaaS, work-from-anywhere (WFA) and IoT have made ZTNA indispensable,” said Ariana Leena Lavanya, Principal Analyst at The Fast Mode. “Continuous adaptive trust, which is central to any ZTNA execution, uses real-time traffic intelligence to form virtual network perimeters that deliver seamless and secure access to enterprise resources.” 

Lack of visibility impairs effectiveness of ZTNA 
Visibility issues reported by ZTNA vendors stem from the explosive growth of traffic and application types and the emergence of new encryption protocols such as TLS 1.3, QUIC and ECH as well as various anonymization and obfuscation techniques. “Regardless of whether it is cloud, hybrid or on-premises ZTNA, ZTNA solution providers require advanced traffic detection techniques that can single out resources, devices, users, security status and irregularities. This is critical in executing fine-grained policies which are customized to different risk profiles and data sensitivity,” said Dr. Martin Mieth, VP Engineering at ipoque. Without sufficient visibility, ZTNA vendors have to fall back on blanket access rules and generic security measures, which lead to increased security vulnerabilities, network abuse and user experience issues, according to the report.

DPI equips ZTNA with future-proof traffic filtering capabilities 
The ipoque OEM DPI engines R&S®PACE 2 and R&S®vPACE for networking and cybersecurity vendors combine behavioral, heuristics and statistical analysis, as well as machine learning (ML) and deep learning techniques to classify network traffic by protocols, applications and service types, even when encrypted. “Our DPI suite of solutions, which are optimized for both standard and cloud computing environments, are powered by AI and ML- based capabilities and weekly-updated libraries. Combining these with metadata extraction allows us to address information that ZTNA vendors deem most critical, namely threats, anomalies and application awareness,” said Dr. Mieth. The DPI technology by ipoque boasts high throughput, linear scalability and improved memory efficiency to support any number of user sessions. It also features extended capabilities such as first packet classification, custom DPI signatures, tethering detection and an IPFIX exporter that converts DPI data into Netflow/IPFIX flow records for seamless integration into SIEM solutions.

Higher use of DPI expected within ZTNA
The report finds that 83.3% of respondents currently use or plan to use DPI for ZTNA. Apart from enhancing the core mechanisms of ZTNA, DPI supports other ZTNA features such as single sign-on, single DLP and multi-factor authentication, and addresses encryption, unmanaged devices and even issues with ZTNA itself. “With real-time application awareness spanning legacy and hybrid applications, ipoque brings ZTNA performance to the next level and supports next-gen ZTNA features such as automatic network segmentation, intra-server / API access and even DEM,” added Dr. Mieth. “Continuous R&D into traffic trends and adoption of AI-based techniques have positioned us at the forefront of traffic intelligence, allowing us to support even the most advanced ZTNA implementations.”
Other important topics such as security service edge’s (SSE’s) impact on ZTNA, zero-trust implementation challenges and popular models for DPI deployment are also explored in the report. The full report is available at www.ipoque.com/ZTNA-report.

Advanced machine learning and deep learning technology for telecom networks to ensure real-time application awareness for network security and connectivity, addressing traffic encryption and obfuscation challenges

Leipzig, Germany, - February 13, 2024 — ipoque, a Rohde & Schwarz company and leading provider of next-gen deep packet inspection (DPI) software, will be demonstrating its revolutionary DPI and encrypted traffic intelligence (ETI) solutions at MWC Barcelona 2024. The event will take place from February 26 to 29, at Fira Gran Via. 
The ETI technology by ipoque introduces a first-of-its-kind enhancement to traditional DPI, addressing the loss of traffic visibility from emerging encryption protocols. Leveraging machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques, ETI’s granular and accurate application classification information massively reduces network blind spots and improves traffic observability and monitoring. Offered as part of the next-gen DPI software R&S®PACE 2 and R&S®vPACE by ipoque, ETI is expected to greatly enhance networking and cybersecurity solutions across telecom analytics, traffic management, policy control, service assurance and security.
 

Addressing telecom operators' visibility challenges: ETI as an innovation boost 
Encrypted traffic intelligence addresses stringent techniques for encryption (e.g. TLS 1.3, ESNI, QUIC and ECH) as well as obfuscation and anonymization, all of which progressively erode the traffic information that was previously available to DPI. The ETI technology by ipoque leverages ML and DL algorithms, high-dimensional data analysis and advanced caching methods, and combines them with statistical, behavioral and heuristic analysis. These methodologies are complemented with a signature library that is updated weekly.

Application-aware traffic management in the era of encryption and obfuscation
Real-time detection of protocols, applications and services, even when traffic is encrypted or obfuscated, allows traffic visibility, which enables traffic policies for network security and network/subscriber quality. “Application awareness from our ETI technology helps telecom operators shape their networks dynamically. This can be observed in 5G network slicing, where URLLC-type applications are continuously monitored for SLA compliance, and in QoE management, where bandwidth-intensive applications such as OTT video streaming are routed separately,” said Dr. Martin Mieth, VP Engineering at ipoque. For example, ETI’s ability to distinguish OTT video traffic between on-demand streaming and downloading, enables operators to switch routes and forward traffic for compression and caching. 
With telecom operators heading towards automation, DPI insights by ipoque can further optimize networks and improve resource allocation. ETI also pushes for greater innovation via enhanced charging and billing, allowing operators to offer new content plans and flexible pricing. It also allows a stronger grip on telecom security with real-time threat intelligence. “With our ETI technology, telecom operators can greatly speed up the diagnosis of security events and automate threat responses, minimizing service disruption and ensuring a superior customer experience,” added Dr. Mieth. 
 

Optimized for cloud computing
The strides taken by ipoque into the DPI space have accelerated in recent years. Its latest DPI engine, R&S®vPACE, is VPP-based and cloud-optimized, and is tailored to cater for CNFs and VNFs, such as 5G UPFs. Add-on features, such as first packet classification, tethering detection and the flow data exporter plug-in, enable a high level of adaptability across different use cases. Additionally, the OEM DPI solutions by ipoque can be easily integrated and come with flexible SLAs and lower development costs.
