Eliminate Blind Spots In SSL Encrypted Traffic

| Security, White Papers

While SSL/TLS provides privacy and authentication, it also creates a blind spot for enterprise security. Cybercriminals can use SSL to hide their exploits from an organization’s security controls, including Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW), Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), anti-malware, and more.  Gartner estimates that by 2017, more than 50% of network attacks will use SSL/TLS.  This solution brief defines the impact of SSL blind spots and outlines steps for decrypting SSL/TSL traffic to give security tools the clear-text visibility they need to enforce protection.
