HTTPS Content Inspection. We are going to take an educated guess and assume your organisation has a (or many) firewalls. But how often are configurations and available features checked?
Take websites. You will have noticed that most websites today are accessed by HTTPS. This was done to reduce the ease in which non encrypted data could be intercepted. There is a downside – now cyber criminals hide their attacks in the now encrypted traffic.
Only about 1% of all firewalls deployed are actively inspecting https traffic so lots of malware that could be found is getting through.
HTTPS Inspection decrypts the traffic, inspects it and then re-encrypts it with a new certificate for safe delivery.
What you need a solution to do:
- A firewall that has high-performance https inspection with ALL security services active (to give balance on high claimed throughput with only basic inspection)
- Full support for the latest TLS 1.3 standard. If your current firewall can’t inspect TLS 1.3 your risk is higher.
- Inspect by category.
Is your firewall supplier doing this for you? If not, why not? It’s not that simple to implement so we suspect many are not. Phone us on 01743 644404 for help in setting it up.
