Encrypted traffic accounts for a large percentage of all internet traffic. While the adoption of Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), should be cause for celebration—as encryption improves confidentiality and message integrity—these protocols also put your organization at risk as they create encrypted blind spots that hackers can use to conceal their exploits from security devices that are unable to inspect TLS/SSL traffic.

This eBook describes six features to consider when evaluating a TLS/SSL decryption platform. With this information, you will be able to easily define evaluation criteria and avoid common deployment pitfalls:

• Performance demands
• Compliance requirements
• Heterogenous networks
• Uptime and overall capacity
• Certificates and key security
• Simplify management
