Device Platform Intelligence
Genian DPI
Know exactly what Is connecting to your network.
Actionable Intelligence
The Foundation Of Cybersecurity
In the IoT era, identifying what’s on your network isn’t enough—you need to understand what each device is, what it means to your business, and how it may pose a risk. Genian DPI (Device Platform Intelligence) enriches device visibility by delivering precise platform classification, EOL/EOS status, and known vulnerabilities such as CVEs. With this intelligence, organizations can evaluate the operational and security impact of each device in real time. For MSPs and MSSPs, DPI significantly enhances network monitoring services by enabling proactive risk management, better asset classification, and smarter policy enforcement across diverse customer environments.
Layer-2 based Network Sensing Technology
- No Network Changes
- Real-Time Data
Manage The Entire Lifecycle of All IP-enabled Devices
- The most accurate detection of the device platform (e.g. Not just “Android phone” but “Samsung Galaxy S6 mobile phone”)
- Contextual access information (Who, What, Where, When, How)
- Business context related to the device (e.g. EOL, EOS, Manufacturer Info)
- Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) for each detected device
Expand Visibility into IT/OT Convergence
- IoT & SCADA Integration
Features
Correlate Essential Context
DPI correlates technical data with business context to pinpoint where vulnerabilities may exist. This requires not just a clearer view of each device, but also deeper insight into key risk indicators that impact security decisions.
Identity
Distinct Information
- The Device Platform name consists of the manufacturer, device name, model number (Integrated with the Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) dictionary)
- The actual picture of the device platforms
- The list of device fingerprinting sources
- Network connection type (Wired, Wireless)
- Release Date
Context
Business Information
- Product end of life (EOL)
- Product end of support (EOS)
- Manufacturer business status
- Manufacturer location (Country)
- Manufacturer homepage
- Product webpage
- Google Search Integration
Risk
Technology Vulnerability
- Integrate with Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
- Report device platforms exposed to vulnerability issues in real time
- Alert and notification
Business Vulnerability
- Identify vendors that are no longer in business or have been acquired
- Flag unsupported devices lacking future patches or upgrades
Pricing
Database and Cloud API Subscription
The usage of DPI can be maximized with Genians’ non-disruptive network sensing technologies (Network Sensor) but the DPI can be accessed independently via SQL or Cloud API methods, allowing other parties to create their own applications. The following options can be considered based on their needs.

Trial
Database and Cloud API Subscription
In the event that you are a Genian NAC customer, Device Platform Intelligence can feed into Genian NAC to provide comprehensive information for all connected devices. To leverage DPI for your security product or service, you can access the DPI independently via SQL or Cloud API methods.
This free trial is applicable to the Cloud API only; it allows for 7,200 queries per day. The trial is open for public use but Genians may limit eligibility or duration to prevent free trial abuse. Genians reserves the right to revoke the free trial if the subscriber is deemed ineligible.
