Frequently Asked Questions
What is SSL inspection?
SSL inspection, also known as SSL decryption or SSL traffic inspection, is a security process where encrypted SSL/TLS traffic is decrypted, inspected for threats or sensitive data, and then re-encrypted before it reaches its destination. This allows security tools to analyze traffic that would otherwise be hidden.
Why is SSL inspection important for businesses?
As a significant portion of internet traffic is now encrypted, attackers increasingly use SSL/TLS to hide malware and malicious activities. SSL inspection is crucial for businesses to detect these hidden threats, comply with data privacy regulations, and prevent data loss.
What does the 5-year subscription term mean?
The 5-year subscription term means you are licensed to use the Cisco Secure Gateway SSL inspection features on your Alteon 6K platform for a continuous period of five years from the activation date. This typically includes access to software updates and vendor support during that term.
