Most industry analyst firms conclude that between 80-90 percent of network traffic is encrypted today.
Google estimates that 95 percent of its internet traffic uses the encrypted HTTPS protocol, and most industry analyst firms conclude that between 80-90 percent of network traffic is encrypted today.
Decryption can detect post-compromise activity that encrypted traffic analysis misses, including ransomware campaigns that exploit the PrintNightmare vulnerability.
Truth: Decryption of enterprise network traffic does not violate privacy regulations or laws.
Truth: Deprecated encryption protocols such as SSL and TLS 1.0 and 1.1 may leave traffic vulnerable to sniffing and decryption by sophisticated attackers.
The benefits of decrypting network traffic are many.
