Frequently Asked Questions
What is SSL Inspection?
SSL inspection, also known as SSL decryption or SSL interception, is a security process where encrypted traffic (like HTTPS) is decrypted, inspected for threats or policy violations, and then re-encrypted before being sent to its destination. This allows security tools to see what is inside the encrypted traffic.
Why is SSL Inspection important for businesses?
As more traffic becomes encrypted, security blind spots emerge. SSL inspection is crucial for detecting malware, preventing data loss, and ensuring compliance with regulations that require visibility into data flows, even when encrypted.
What does a 5-year subscription mean for this license?
A 5-year subscription means you are entitled to use the Secure Gateway SSL Inspect feature on your Alteon 9K platform for the duration of five years from the activation date. It typically includes access to software updates and vendor support during this period.
