Why Performing SSL Inspection Matters

The adoption of multiple clouds to migrate and consume applications has given rise to an expanded attack surface and an increased flow of encrypted traffic. Our customers tells us that, approximately 90% of their traffic is now encrypted.

Despite the volume of encrypted traffic, some organizations fear that inspecting encrypted flows and deploying secure sockets layer (SSL) inspection will collapse their security solutions. Yet, not inspecting encrypted traffic flows creates a blind spot that hampers an organization’s ability to differentiate between legitimate and illegitimate traffic. Without implementing granular application control, it becomes impossible to control and mitigate shadow IT.
