SSL connections are being increasingly used in order to provide a secure environment for Web usage. However, also on the increase is a new type of cyber-attack in which encrypted communication is exploited to disguise attacks and avoid detection by security products.
SSL is used for confidential communication to ensure critical information such as IDs, passwords, and personal details are not leaked. But in recent targeted attacks, critical information were stolen by methods such as intrusion into an internal network using SSL and communicating with an external command and control (C&C) server.
This page introduces A10 Networks' SSL InsightTM, a feature which eliminates blind spots in SSL traffic by decrypting SSL-encrypted traffic and forwarding it to security devices for inspection.
