Enea on Wednesday announced enhancements to the Enea Qosmos ixEngine and Enea Qosmos Probe products that deliver greater insight into encrypted and evasive traffic.
Anonymity and privacy technologies, like data encryption and VPNs, are vital for safe and secure communications, but they limit the visibility network professionals rely on for troubleshooting, performance optimization, and business analytics, said Enea. They also impact cyber security specialists, who need traffic visibility to detect and analyze threats in networks.
Providers of network management and security products have long relied on Enea's Qosmos traffic intelligence technology for exceptional visibility and rich data sets that enable them to differentiate their products in continuously evolving markets. The rise of encrypted and evasive traffic may be a challenging evolution, but as with others that have preceded it, Enea can help its customers transform change into competitive advantage.
To this end, the company has created a special team dedicated to developing innovative techniques for extracting maximum insights from encrypted and evasive traffic, while packet content remains private. The efforts have resulted in recent product enhancements that deliver unique visibility of 6 types of evasive traffic: Cryptocurrencies and mining pools; Covert communication channels; VPNs (Virtual Private Networks); Anonymizer applications; Traffic spoofing applications and Embedded links in emails.

With our new and enhanced capabilities, we are confident our clients will be able to meet the challenges of encrypted and evasive traffic head on, and develop even stronger and smarter solutions for protecting networks.
