Masking
Protect Sensitive Data
The Masking feature of the GigaSMART® engine provides customizable data protection by overwriting specific packet fields with a set pattern. Sensitive information is safeguarded during network analysis.
Confidentiality and compliance are crucial for a broad range of government and private organizations alike. Regulations in the financial, insurance, and healthcare industries require that sensitive data be protected. Penalties for non-compliance of such regulations can be severe, resulting in fines or even imprisonment. Masking permanently obscures the data before sending it to security and monitoring tools. Regulatory and privacy compliance becomes easier because the sensitive data is never seen, processed or stored by these tools.
Benefits of the Masking Feature
- Supports compliance with stringent data protection regulations.
- Protects network and security engineers from inadvertently being exposed to sensitive or confidential data.
- Provides an added level of data protection in cases where network monitoring and analysis functions are outsourced.

GigaSMART Features
GigaSMART® offers several essential traffic intelligence services required for deep observability into infrastructure blind spots.
NetFlow Generation
Delivers basic Layer 2–4 network traffic data to analysis tools.
Source Port Labeling
Provides context to packets and identifies behaviors and threats based on network location.
Adaptive Packet Filtering
Identifies patterns across any part of the network packet, including the packet payload.
De-duplication
Targets, identifies, and eliminates duplicate packets, blocking unnecessary duplication and sending optimized flows.
Packet Slicing
Truncates packets while preserving the protocol headers required for network analysis.
Advanced Load Balancing
Divides and distributes traffic among multiple tools based on a variety of data points.
Advanced Flow Slicing
Reduces bandwidth usage by slicing payloads and packets from long data flows.
Masking
Provides customizable data protection by overwriting specific packet fields with a set pattern.
Tunneling
Alleviates blindness of business-critical traffic at remote sites, virtualized data centers, or in the public or private cloud.
Application Visualization
Provides a complete view of the applications running on your network.
Application Filtering Intelligence
Extends Layer 7 visibility to thousands of common and proprietary applications.
Application Metadata Intelligence
Provides application visibility to identify performance and quality issues, and potential security risks.
GTP Correlation
Enables mobile service providers to monitor subscriber data in GPRS Tunneling Protocol tunnels.
FlowVUE Flow Sampling
Provides subscriber IP-based flow sampling.
5G Correlation
