Deep Packet Inspection challenges for telecom and security vendors
Enea's DPI survey of telecom and security vendors finds traffic visibility is increasingly critical yet harder as 5G, cloud, IoT, and TLS 1.3 spread.
Enea's survey of high-tech product managers at telecom and security vendors found that real-time application-level traffic visibility is considered essential as cloud adoption, 5G, remote work, and IoT dissolve traditional network perimeters. Abnormal traffic detection was the top DPI use case, 70% of respondents require classification of connected devices in enterprise and IoT/industrial networks, and TLS 1.3 (mandatory in 5G) threatens payload-based visibility. Most vendors report having or developing cloud solutions, with half planning SASE offerings integrating security and networking.
- 70% of respondents require classification of connected devices in enterprise and IoT/industrial networks.
- Abnormal traffic detection identified as the top DPI use case as perimeters dissolve.
- TLS 1.3, mandatory in 5G, threatens essential traffic visibility for many vendors.
- Half of surveyed vendors plan SASE offerings integrating security and networking in the cloud.

Enea announced the results of the first survey about deep packet inspection ( DPI ) challenges, conducted among high-tech product managers. The goal of the survey is to better understand how DPI, a technology that identifies and details network traffic , is used by telecommunications and cybersecurity solution vendors today, and what they need from DPI in the future.
