Decrypting HTTPS (TLS/SSL) traffic at the network perimeter is a vital step in protecting against malware and other online threats. Most of today’s web traffic is encrypted and presents an obvious hiding place for threat actors to deliver cyberattacks, since many network security controls aren’t set to inspect encrypted traffic. Consider recent findings from WatchGuard’s Threat Lab in its Q4 2022 Internet Security Report (ISR). While the report showed an apparent decline in overall malware volume, the Threat Lab analysts found a much higher prevalence of malware being delivered over encrypted connections when they looked closer at decrypted HTTPS traffic.
