Deep packet inspection: Closing the gaps in AI security & observability

With an adoption rate far outpacing any new technology introduction in human history, generative AI (GenAI) is revolutionizing the software industry at a breath-taking pace. This includes the cybersecurity market, where start-ups and incumbents alike are racing to address new attack vectors and new vulnerabilities introduced by GenAI, while keeping up with AI frameworks and capabilities that are evolving in real-time.

Fortunately, there are trusted technologies that can make innovating with AI safer today, while providing the data foundation needed to keep pace with rapid fire market and technology changes. One such technology is deep packet inspection (DPI), which along with security and visibility staples like IDS and eBPF, and communication tools like CLIs, RPCs, and webhooks, is proof positive that everything old is new again in AI.

This whitepaper explains how security product developers can use DPI alone and in tandem with other technologies (e.g., eBPF, EDR, IDS and AI self-reporting) to fill gaps in AI security and observability, and to provide a high-quality data foundation for continuous AI innovation.
