DPI is an essential concept and skill to exercise to help organization in enhancing the security posture, enable traffic management, and enforce policies. This teaching aide will sail through a journey, explaining what DPI is, laying out a foundation on DPI concept and shows how DPI uses the Transport Layer Security (TLS) as core technology to inspect encrypted network traffic providing an exceptional ability to manage and control websites access.
Do not miss the opportunity to gain practical skill on the DPI lab. The teaching explains a step by step how to implement one of the DPI tools, how you can configure it, and you will be amazed how to see the encrypted traffic is visible in plain text.
