DEEP CONTENT INSPECTION (DCI)
​
Deep Content Inspection (DCI) is an architectural abstraction through which MIME objects transmitted through the network are extracted and subjected to different content scanners (i.e. Anti-Malware, Anti-Spam, etc.). To provide for both accuracy and high performance, the DCI engine uses a massive threading framework with every network session mapped to a highly efficient lightweight OS level thread. Each of the session-based threads use a set of proprietary high performance technologies developed by Wedge Networks, including the patented SubSonic Engine™ and GreenStream™ technologies.
The key technical requirements of implementing a DCI application:
​
-
Performance requirements when conducting Deep Content Inspection at the network transport layer
-
Accuracy requirements when enforcing security protection or content accessing policies
-
Transparency requirements when deploying a network layer solution into an existing enterprise or service provider’s network
-
Manageability requirements so that the DCI application can be effectively managed as an IT/network asset
-
Reporting requirements providing visibility of application objects With a set of coherent building blocks, in the form of runtime components and adaptation frameworks, WedgeOS™ enables DCI applications to meet these technical requirements.
BENEFITS
​
Compared with other Data in Motion inspection technologies, DCI technology in the
WedgeOS™ provides:
​
-
The ability to extract digital objects in real-time from the Data In Motion sessions leads to the complete comprehension of the intention of the sessions.
​
-
The ability to correlate the comprehension of the digital objects transmitted in many communication sessions leads to new ways of network performance optimization and intelligence.
​
-
The ability to support ICAP and WCCP for explicit proxy mode deployments reduces the cost of network reconfiguration.
​
-
The ability to support transparent proxy mode deployments eliminates the cost of network reconfiguration and supports unlimited VLANs.
DEEP CONTENT INSPECTION: HOW IT WORKS
​
The illustration outlines the typical process of how WedgeOS™ performs DCI for a
normal Web session.
If the DCI application is to prevent malicious content from being downloaded to a user’s browser, WedgeOS™ will execute:
​
-
Direct-In-Memory Traffic Object Flow Inspection of web traffic to the session based thread for DCI analysis
-
Interception of the packets that are carrying the payload in order to reconstruct a copy of the payload
-
Files are extracted from any archives, binders, packers or scramblers so that Deep Content Scanning can occur
-
Partial payloads are progressively scanned, intercepting specific objects, keywords, malware, etc. if found, while passing on clean content to its destination (i.e. GreenStreaming™). The payload can be subjected to multiple scanners (e.g., anti-malware signature-based scanner, anti-malware heuristic scanner, anti-spam scanner, etc.) simultaneously.
-
If specific /flagged objects are detected, the transmission is interrupted and the content is replaced with a proper, customizable warning message.
DEEP PACKET INSPECTION (DPI)
Deep Packet Inspection integration in the WedgeOS™ provides the platform with Flow security. The integration of DPI allows the WedgeOS™ to inspect both packet header and body, with network traffic being compared against Flow Security signatures, enabling a wide range of services such as AV, Firewall and Server Protection, in addition to application control.

CLOUD NETWORK DEFENSE
OVERVIEW - CLOUD IS THE NEW EDGE
​
Mobility, cloud, consumerization of IT and Internet of things have completely redefined how we consume and access information while also introducing a new generation of threats. The result is a new connectivity paradigm where the cloud is now the center of the world’s connected networks and the security challenge is now how to secure this cloud-connected world, given that most of the current security solutions are either end-point or perimeter based.
The technology that defines a communications network is changing rapidly too. Major innovations enable new possibilities to deliver a network as a flexible, scalable and versatile service, free of vertically integrated hardware appliances and physical network routing.
​
Wedge’s Cloud Network Defense™ (CND) transforms how security is delivered today. It is an infinitely scalable Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) platform run in the cloud. This platform leverages Software Defined Networks for Security (SDN-S) and Network Functions Virtualization for Security (NFV-S) technology to embed security as a scalable, high performance service in today’s cloud connected networks. By enforcing unified web, email and mobile security policy across all network traffic, all devices are protected - anytime, anywhere.
​
Most network security technologies rely on proprietary hardware such as ASIC. Wedge’s key value-adds are found in its software innovations. Current Cloud Security providers direct traffic to their 3rd party infrastructure for inspection, causing delays or latency. Together with its patented Deep Content Inspection (DCI) Engine and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Engine, Cloud Network Defense™ utilizes advanced software to direct and load-balance computing resource usage. This includes adding and removing instances as required, which is not easily carried out on hardware-based platforms. CND provides comprehensive security, in real-time, without requiring traffic to leave the network. The Wedge approach takes advantage of cloud computing architecture which offers scalability, elasticity (dynamic reallocation per demand), ubiquitous availability, and high capacity for the cloud centric networks of today and into the future.

HOW CLOUD NETWORK DEFENSE™ WORKS
Cloud Network Defense™ receives user policy and endpoint identification from a number of sources, depending on how it is deployed. Identity Management System, Telco OSS/BSS, or registration via a Portal are some examples of this.
The system then uses that information to control the network flow to inspect and enforce security policies to selected network traffic through its network function virtualization for security (NFV-S) compute stack.
​
The network function virtualization for security is the foundation of Wedge Cloud Network Defense’s™ Elastic Security Service Orchestration. Working as a pooled resource, it dynamically applies specific policy-based security inspection to specific user device traffic in response to network load. It is powered by Wedge Networks’ patented WedgeOS™, which is an embedded operating system that enables the delivery of a variety of security functions as an agnostic, open, and easily consumable service.
The Wedge Cloud Network Defense™ Cloud Conductor coordinates all the cloud operational aspects to dynamically monitor and maintain virtual instances and to effectively apply platform resources.
