Montimage is a French SME located in Paris. It is a research oriented company that proposes its know-how and tools for helping developers and operators improve the quality and reliability of their software. The core business of Montimage is developing tools for monitoring and testing networks, applications and services; in particular, for the analysis of functional, performance and security aspects; and, for improving context awareness and end-user trust. Montimage's flagship tool (MMT) allows the capture of telecommunication packets, as well as any structured messages, for performing traffic analysis, estimating quality of user experience (QoE), analysing security and detecting/mitigating security attacks. It uses deep packet inspection (DPI), statistics and machine learning techniques to classify traffic and analyse its behaviour. Montimage has participated in several collaborative research projects related to the Measure project, such as: FP7-SHIELDS (detection of code and protocol vulnerabilities), ANR-WebMov (testing and monitoring web services), ITEA2-DIAMONDS (multi-domain security methods and tools), and CELTIC-MEVICO (defining and validating future mobile LTE architecture). These projects have served to exploit innovative techniques integrated in MMT that include data analysis and correlation, detection of security properties, evaluation of QoS, estimation QoE, and combining active testing and monitoring to improve the development process.
