Frequently Asked Questions
What is SSL inspection and why is it important?
SSL inspection is the process of decrypting encrypted network traffic, inspecting it for threats or policy violations, and then re-encrypting it before it reaches its destination. It is crucial because a significant portion of network traffic is now encrypted, and without inspection, threats hidden within this traffic can bypass security controls.
What does a subscription license entail for this product?
A subscription license provides access to the Secure Gateway SSL Inspect functionality for a defined period, typically including software updates, security patches, and technical support. This model ensures you always have access to the latest features and threat intelligence.
Does this license require additional hardware?
This license is designed to activate software features on an existing Cisco Alteon 6K platform. It does not typically require additional hardware, but compatibility with your specific Alteon 6K model and software version should be confirmed.
