Privacy concerns of internet users have started a new trend, compelling more websites to SSL encrypted application traffic. However, while SSL/TLS encryption provides privacy, it also creates a huge blind spot in corporate defenses, which opens an organization up to malware attacks. A10 Networks SSL Insight® is the industry’s leading dedicated SSL/TLS decryption solution, that enables visibility into all encrypted traffic at peak performance, and with its multi-layered security services, ensures compliance, protection of users from web threats, and detailed visibility and analytics.
Privacy concerns of Internet users has started a new trend, compelling more and more websites to encrypt application traffic.
Now, many of the world’s most visited websites and services encrypt web communications. These trends are driving overall TLS use higher with TLS encrypted traffic accounting for over eighty percent of all internet traffic.
While encryption provides privacy and protects against snooping, it also creates a huge blind spot in corporate defenses, because many of the security devices that organizations rely on can easily detect attacks in clear text. But since they are not designed to inspect TLS encrypted traffic, any encrypted traffic passes through them uninspected.
Attackers can leverage encryption to sneak past corporate defenses completely undetected. In such a scenario, the entire security infrastructure fails, no matter how many layers of security checks are deployed.
Once inside the network, attackers can move freely, gaining access to sensitive data, spreading malware, holding data for ransom, or even stealing sensitive data.
And since the data theft can also be encrypted, any data loss prevention solutions will also be rendered ineffective.
It is evident that TLS decryption has become an essential part of corporate defense strategies. While organizations can use devices like firewalls to decrypt traffic, they can face performance degradation of up to 80%, because of how compute-intensive TLS processing can be, creating network bottlenecks. Dedicated and centralized TLS decryption is the only way to enable encrypted traffic visibility at peak performance.
A10 SSL Insight is the industry’s leading dedicated TLS decryption solution that enables visibility into all encrypted traffic at peak performance,
SSL Insight intercepts all enterprise traffic and enables organizations to decrypt all TLS traffic at high speed, ensuring that no cyberattacks can make it through and that no data can be smuggled out of the network intentionally or otherwise.
With its decrypt once inspect many times functionality, SSL Insight creates a secure decrypt zone that provides TLS visibility to the entire security infrastructure. Beyond simple decryption, SSL Insight also provides multi-layered security services, ensuring compliance, protecting users from known threats, and providing detailed visibility into application traffic that can help create better security policies.
TLS encryption exposes a gap in corporate defenses, allowing attackers to compromise systems and steal data.
SSL Insight provides a trusted solution to inspect TLS encrypted traffic closing, the gap in defenses, ensuring that your corporate data is safe.
