Encrypting and decrypting traffic consumes a lot of computational power, so many security inspection solutions either don't decrypt at all or take such a huge performance hit that they pass along encrypted traffic just to keep up. Whether its traffic coming into your application or internal traffic going out to the...
The increase of SSL/TLS traffic indicates that organizations are more and more focused on safeguarding the integrity of the data that flows through their Internet-facing applications.
However, the concurrent growth of malware hidden within that encrypted traffic is cause for concern. Without visibility into your...
The benefits offered by TLS 1.3 are substantial, but more comprehensive encryption also makes it tougher to spot malicious traffic and defend against attacks hidden in that encrypted traffic. You may need to take a new approach to get the visibility you need while simultaneously preserving your performance gain...
Several recent health data breaches point to the need to better mitigate the risks posed by email. Why do these incidents keep happening, and what can be done to help prevent them?
