Qosmos ixEngine®
Last Updated: August 24, 2022
The Enea Qosmos ixEngine® is an advanced, DPI-based classification engine that recognizes over 3700 protocols, more than any other on the market. It provides classification of encrypted and evasive traffic and has a unique first packet processing capability that boosts application recognition and accuracy. Delivered as a Software Development Kit (SDK), it is composed of software libraries, modules and tools that are easily integrated into new or existing solutions. Developers benefit from market-leading IP flow parsing technology to bring detailed traffic visibility to network solutions up to Layer 7. Integration of Qosmos ixEngine as a software component removes the need to develop in-house protocol recognition capabilities, simplifying product development and accelerating delivery.
- Encrypted & Evasive Traffic Classification
Maintains essential visibility and detects potential threats without using decryption. - First Packet Advantage
Enables outstanding performance by accurately classifying all traffic from the first packet. - Machine Learning Categorizer
Boosts first packet classification accuracy and preserve visibility in fully encrypted environments by categorizing flows by service type (e.g., streaming video, audio call). - MITM Risk Indicator
Detects and quantifies the risk that a TLS Proxy, possibly illegitimate, is being used to intercept secure communications. - Custom Signature Module
Complements Qosmos signatures with user-defined signatures for proprietary protocols or extensions. - Deep File Inspection
Detects file types, checking consistency between MIME types and file extensions, computing file hashes and extracting metadata. - Rule Engine
For the execution of customer-defined rules at run-time (correlations, aggregations, etc.). - Automated DPI
Classifies previously unknown traffic using automated algorithms.
