Organizations always have the option of decrypting traffic to scan for threats, but certificate management can be a complex process when decryption is required across a distributed enterprise.
Moreover, as the amount of encrypted traffic increases, attackers utilize it to stealthily deliver malware, obfuscate command and control traffic, and hide data exfiltration. According to ESG, 24% of recent survey respondents fell victim to an encrypted attack once; 45% did so multiple times.
The main takeaway from this context is this: your security teams need a multi-pronged approach for detecting encrypted threats. Tune into this custom Fireside Chat to glean best practices for detecting—and improving visibility into—these threats as told by ESG Analyst John Grady. You’ll also learn how:
• Cisco Secure Firewall’s encrypted visibility engine uses AI/ML to block encrypted threats
• Cisco’s 4200 series appliance accelerates TLS decryption without compromising performance
