Is Encrypting Everything A Good Idea?

A recent trend in the IT Industry has been to encrypt communications with more and more protocols now running over TLS ("SSL"). Major browser vendors are providing a means to not only encrypt the DNS requests being made by clients but also the SNI within a TLS connection. Are we as an industry losing sight of our goals with this approach and are producing a potential issue where we are hindering rather than helping ourselves in this endeavour? Join Gigamon and (ISC)2 October 13, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. BST for a discussion of the pros and cons of encrypting this data, with an emphasis on TLS as a transport. We will also examine the motivations of organisations to provide these services and how a Threat Actor can take (and in fact has taken) advantage of another hole we've inadvertently made in our countermeasures. Also discussed will be the steps we can take to keep ahead of this and the financial ramifications that ubiquitous encryption can have on security countermeasures.
