Visibility Into Encrypted Traffic Comes at a Cost

Presented at Black Hat Europe 2017, Dec. 7, 2017, 10:15 a.m. (25 minutes).

With increasingly sophisticated security threats, threat prevention solutions must perform advanced security functions under constantly rising and more complex user traffic. This session will delve into how preemptive intelligence from performance and security testing allows you to deploy the most robust and security network infrastructures possible. The evolution to Transport Layer Security (TLS) will improve security and performance for network traffic, but it also brings its own challenges. Cyber criminals hide in encrypted traffic, so organizations must decrypt traffic at network gateways in order to inspect it and know how to handle it.
