As cloud adoption and hybrid work expand, traditional deep packet inspection (DPI) methods struggle with blind spots, encryption, and distributed environments. Omdia recommends software-based DPI deployed at endpoints for visibility into encrypted traffic, SaaS usage, and dynamic cloud-native platforms. Riverbed’s unified agent captures network and application data pre/post-decryption without added hardware, reducing operational overhead. This data is analyzed via NPM Plus, which uses embedded AI to deliver expert-level insights and speed root cause analysis—positioning DPI as a vital tool for secure, optimized network monitoring in the cloud era.
