SYMANTEC BLUECOAT SSLV SV2800

Encryption protects the privacy and integrity of data, but also creates a blind spot that attackers can exploit to evade security controls. Considering roughly half of all Internet traffic today is encrypted, it creates a rather large gap in an organization's security posture, leading to increased vulnerability and risk, as well as a damaged reputation. The Blue Coat SSL Visibility Appliance, a key component of the Encrypted Traffic Management solution set, enables organizations to cost-effectively eliminate blind spots within their environment and maximize the effectiveness of their security infrastructure investments. With Blue Coat, organizations have the visibility and control they need over encrypted traffic to ensure compliance with their privacy, regulatory and acceptable use policies.

Provides Visibility into Encrypted Traffic to Improve Security

The SSL Visibility Appliance is an integral component to any organization's traffic management strategy, providing visibility into encrypted traffic that ensures attacks cannot slip by undetected. Blue Coat identifies and decrypts all SSL connections and applications across all network ports (even irregular ports). The decrypted feeds can be used by the existing security infrastructure to strengthen their ability to detect and protect against advanced threats; by offloading process intensive decryption, the SSL Visibility Appliance also helps improve the overall performance of the organization's network and security infrastructure.

Supports Privacy and Compliance Initiatives

The SSL Visibility Appliance serves as an effective policy enforcement point to control SSL traffic throughout the enterprise, reducing risks posed by encrypted traffic, while maintaining compliance with relevant privacy policies and regulatory requirements. Utilizing Host Categorization and SSL traffic types for policies, organizations can easily create and customize granular policies to selectively decrypt traffic to meet their business needs (e.g. "do not encrypt financial or banking traffic going out of the business"). And policies can easily be set to control obsolete or weak ciphers and standards - such as traffic using SSL v3.0. This enables organizations to focus on the communications that represent the highest risks effectively balancing security with data privacy and compliance requirements. These policies also utilize Blue Coat's market-leading Global Intelligence Network to exchange and update SSL host categorization, threat and malware knowledge across the globe.
