SSL/TLS Inspection
We ensure your network is protected from SSL/TLS encrypted cyber attacks by enabling SSL/TLS decrypted traffic inspection via your enterprise perimeter security infrastructure.
Without SSL/TLS Decryption, Your Corporate Defenses are Blind
In a multi-vendor enterprise perimeter security stack, decrypting traffic at each hop can prove to be inefficient and costly. However, with over 90 percent of the internet traffic encrypted along with a sharp increase in encrypted malware attacks, you might be forced to do just that. But this leads to severe application performance and network security issues.
Ever-evolving, modern cyber attacks
- Modern-day cyber attackers are increasingly using the cover of encryption to avoid being detected
- A typical enterprise has multiple security solutions, each requiring its own decryption
- These solutions may experience, on average, over 60 percent performance degradation due to decryption, creating bottlenecks
- Scaling such solutions without dedicated SSL/TLS decryption can become complicated, increasing the overall costs and severely reducing ROI
Non-compliance is costly
- In certain verticals, including medical and finance, adherence to privacy standards such as HIPAA, PCI is mandatory
- Companies not compliant with GDPR, a mandatory set of regulations that enforce strict data protection policies, can face hefty penalties in case of data breaches
- Decryption and security solutions can also be required to have Hardware Security Modules (HSM) installed, which enable secure and tamper-proof storage of encryption keys.
- Non-compliance can lead to heavy fines and, in some cases, to lawsuits that damage an organization’s brand
Operational Challenges
- Some SSL/TLS decryption solutions are too complex to use and end up spending their life on a storage shelf
- On-box management solutions may claim to be “easy,” but are inefficient and require specially-trained operators
- Disconnected, local management solutions fail to enforce uniform policies across the organization, leading to security and compliance loopholes
- Without centralized, actionable insights, organization-wide visibility cannot be maintained
The Ultimate Guide to TLS/SSL Decryption
This eBook describes six features to consider when evaluating a TLS/SSL decryption platform. With this information, you will be able to easily define evaluation criteria and avoid common deployment pitfalls.

Our SSL/TLS inspection solution ensures your entire security infrastructure has visibility into encrypted traffic, while retaining optimal performance. Augment and enhance your enterprise security by adding inline, passive and ICAP-integrated devices to the “secure decrypt zone,” where each device can detect malware attacks and other cyber threats in unencrypted traffic and stop them.
Enhance your security
- Maximize security performance, availability and scalability at the edge of your enterprise perimeter by “decrypting once and inspecting multiple times”
- Integrate with advanced network security platforms including NGFWs, NGIPS, DLP, AV, and ATP systems in the “secure decrypt zone” and enable them to inspect encrypted traffic
- Leverage A10’s multi-layered security services to stop known threat vectors, including URL Filtering, Threat Intelligence, Threat Investigator and more
Ensure compliance and privacy
- Maintain granular, policy-based control over your traffic
- Selectively decrypt traffic based on web categorization feeds to ensure compliance with privacy standards like HIPAA and PCI
- Ensure GDPR compliance by enforcing data protection policies and access control
- Block access to specific web categories, including known malicious destinations, to maximize employee productivity and security
Operationalize with ease
- Simplify management and configuration with wizard-based AppCentric Templates (ACTs)
- Augment your entire organization’s security by managing and monitoring multi-site deployments from a centralized location and enforcing uniform policies using the A10 Harmony Controller
- Gain real-time awareness and actionable insights to protect your network from the latest threats
