Cover Image

Encryption is the Benedict Arnold of security measures. What governments and their armies have long utilized to restrict data to authorized parties has defected to their opponents, who abuse the technology for dark purposes.

Defenders benefitted in the past from the difficulties of implementing encryption, but when SSL is used correctly by cybercriminals, it prevents a defender's network tools from checking the data for signatures and renders tools ineffective.

In this e-guide, expert Nick Lewis details ways to defend against SSL attacks. First, you'll uncover how to detect SSL attacks by inspecting network connections for anomalies. Next, you'll learn the importance of decoding SSL connections to further enable their detection and, ultimately, their mitigation.
