A a lot of enterprises today are not fully prepared for securing or managing their blind spot “SSL traffic” into the network. Because SSL has traditionally been beyond the reach of network security systems it has become a serious security blind spot. A much higher proportion of network traffic is now encrypted, and so SSL decryption is now an indisputably crucial component of network security.
One of the reasons why it’s rarely found in standard security systems is because of the processor intensive calculations and algorithms required and finally the performance impact that has on the performance of the in-line network security infrastructure like and intrusion prevention system.
