The August 2018 GAO Report on the Equifax breach disclosed that while they used a tool for network layer decryption, their certificates were nine months out of date. This lapse gave the threat actors the time they needed to break in and exfiltrate reams of personal data. Once the certs were updated on their decryption tools, they realized what happened. A lesson learned from this is the importance of efficient decryption for effective threat detection. Join Gigamon and (ISC)2 on June 6, 2019 at 1PM Eastern for a discussion about how SSL/TLS encryption has become a threat vector, why decryption is essential to security and how to effectively perform detection and how to make sure your detection tools are working at their greatest capacity without the latency introduced by decryption.
