Security Management White Papers
Eliminating your SSL Blind Spot
Overview
Web encryption is indispensable for today's businesses, but organisations with an open port 443 (HTTPS tunnel) on their firewall are left with a major security hole wide open in their network. Traditional firewalls and gateway anti-virus solutions are unable to scan encrypted traffic, and therefore can provide no control over what content is sent in and out of organisations' networks via HTTPS. This presents tremendous risks to organisations that may not realize they cannot rely on their HTTP filters to protect HTTPS encrypted traffic.
This white paper discusses how HTTPS filtering (SSL scanning) provides organisations with the means to counter these threats by fully extending their existing Internet usage policies to HTTPS traffic, and thereby proactively closing that last known major network security hole.
