Frequently Asked Questions
What is SSL inspection?
SSL inspection, also known as SSL decryption or SSL interception, is a security process where encrypted SSL/TLS traffic is decrypted, inspected for threats, and then re-encrypted before being sent to its destination. This allows security tools to analyze traffic that would otherwise be hidden.
Why is SSL inspection important for businesses?
A significant portion of internet traffic is now encrypted. Without SSL inspection, businesses have a blind spot, allowing malware and other threats to travel undetected within encrypted sessions. Inspection is crucial for comprehensive security and compliance.
