NetQuest: Streaming Network Sensors (SNS)

NetQuest’s SNS2000 Streaming Network Sensor is a 2RU network monitoring appliance delivering terabit-scale DPI-enabled visibility into high-speed optical and broadband networks, enabling operators to extract actionable intelligence from raw packets at line rate. By streaming unsampled flow metadata, encrypted traffic fingerprinting, and intelligent traffic conditioning into AI cybersecurity pipelines, the SNS2000 helps security analysts hunt down threats and secure their networks without requiring costly full-packet capture. To protect encrypted traffic, the platform incorporates JA4+ and advanced flow fingerprinting to analyze encrypted or obfuscated traffic without decryption, preserving privacy while maintaining threat visibility. Finally, it offers policy-based traffic management that enables selective filtering and forwarding of network streams, optimizing analytics performance and resource allocation.

Judge’s comment: "This is a great way to use DPI as a way to take traffic flows and extract metadata to identify traffic patterns.”
