IBMs Protocol Analysis Module (PAM) uses deep packet inspection to protect networks. IBM’s next-generation IPS offers throughput speeds of up to 25 Gbps, so you dont need to sacrifice performance for protection. Deep packet inspection (DPI) enables intelligent security threat detection with heuristics and behavioral-based rule sets that is simply not possible with pattern-matching technology. The advantages of doing so are clear: Full parsing of the content layers of the packet (layers six and seven) is the only reliable way to detect some of the most dangerous attacks.”]
