Enea, a prominent provider of telecom and cybersecurity solutions, has recently unveiled the Enea Qosmos Threat Detection SDK. This groundbreaking threat detection system has the potential to enhance performance in network-based cybersecurity solutions. By integrating Enea’s flagship deep packet inspection (DPI) engine, Qosmos ixEngine, with core IDS capabilities from Suricata, an open-source Intrusion Detection System (IDS)/Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) solution, the Qosmos Threat Detection SDK significantly boosts performance and scalability for large, multifunction cloud-based platforms.
The Qosmos Threat Detection SDK offers seamless integration into third-party software developed by cybersecurity solution vendors, large organizations, and managed service providers. Furthermore, it allows the creation of customized rules tailored to specific network environments. This fully scalable SDK ensures customers benefit from simplified licensing, improved accessibility, and optimized operating costs.
Cybersecurity has undergone a transformation due to the rise of Cloud, IoT, and remote working. As a result, there is an increased demand for cloud-based, multifunction security platforms with high-performance requirements. These platforms rely on detailed and real-time traffic visibility across a wide range of protocols and applications. The Qosmos Threat Detection SDK addresses these challenges by leveraging the DPI-based traffic visibility of Qosmos ixEngine and combining it with core IDS functionalities. This revolutionary system delivers cybersecurity performance improvements up to twofold compared to traditional IDS/IPS systems. It accomplishes this by utilizing a single network traffic visibility function, eliminating the need for dual packet processing, and ensuring efficient network traffic data processing at scale without compromising speed.
The integration with Enea’s Qosmos ixEngine, which is recognized as the industry standard for embedded DPI, provides superior traffic visibility. The software development kit allows improved visibility into encrypted and evasive traffic, significantly enhancing overall malware and threat detection. Additionally, it reduces false positives through improved parsing. Customers can take advantage of this enhanced visibility to enhance security performance by creating custom rules tailored to their specific environments.
The development of the Qosmos Threat Detection SDK was driven by direct feedback and collaboration with customers. It was identified as a crucial need in the market, leading to its deployment by two leading vendors and sparking growing interest among Enea’s customer base.
Jean-Pierre Coury, Vice President of Enea Traffic Intelligence, emphasized the importance of the Qosmos Threat Detection SDK in meeting the performance and scale requirements of today’s cloud-centric multifunction IT platforms. Coury stated, “Traditional IDS/IPS systems are falling behind. Enea Qosmos Threat Detection SDK meets these challenges with a threat detection engine delivered in the format of a software development kit capable of tight integration with third-party solutions, easy customization, and radically improved cybersecurity performance.”
Roy Chua, Founder and Principal at AvidThink, highlighted the significance of deep packet inspection (DPI) in modern cybersecurity models such as zero-trust networking access and extended detection response. He stated that a robust DPI engine is pivotal for high-performance threat detection, as it offers visibility into network traffic and provides the intelligence to base custom rules on specific environments.
