5 Reasons to Make the Switch to a WatchGuard Firewall
Introduction:
Encrypting web traffic has become an increasingly hot topic in the cyber security world. It is estimated that 75% of all web traffic will be encrypted by 2020. The need to provide privacy on the web is growing at a very rapid speed as more and more organizations have started adopting HTTPS for security measures.
But just because your web traffic is encrypted, that doesn’t mean it’s immune to malware attacks. Hackers are using encrypted traffic as a way to exploit websites to deliver malware. That’s why inspecting your encrypted traffic is critical.
The Importance:
Traditional firewalls are unable to inspect encrypted traffic effectively leaving you vulnerable to possible attacks. To begin inspecting SSL-encrypted traffic both inbound and outbound traffic must be decrypted before inspection. Directly after, that traffic must be re-encrypted and re-encapsulated. This process happens within seconds and leaves room for exposure especially if your security architecture is already at risk for an attack.
Gaps in Your Security:
With more and more organizations moving to encrypted web traffic, the vulnerability that the encryption process presents is also one of the biggest performance drains on your firewall. It’s an amplification effect that an SSL-based attack requires 15 times more resources from the server side than the client side. Therefore, implementing a security solution that defends against an SSL-based attack is critical but the solution must able to keep up with the performance requirements of your organization.
