Why Encrypted Traffic Is A Risk
More than 70% of today’s internet traffic is encrypted. While encryption protects user privacy, it also provides a safe passage for attackers. Firewalls that cannot inspect SSL/TLS flows leave you blind to hidden malware, command-and-control traffic, and data exfiltration attempts. For regulators and auditors, a lack of visibility into encrypted traffic is a gap that cannot be ignored.
What Goes Wrong Without Control
When TLS and encrypted traffic go unmanaged, you face:
- Threats concealed in SSL tunnels, bypassing standard inspection
- Loss of visibility into user activity, apps, and APIs
- Security blind spots that attackers exploit during breaches
- Compliance questions during ISO or CERT-In audits
The result is incomplete protection. You cannot defend what you cannot see.
How Proactive Brings Visibility With Control
Proactive Managed Firewall includes selective TLS and encrypted traffic inspection as part of the managed run. Using Cisco Firepower devices and Firepower Management Center, we provide visibility into encrypted flows while respecting privacy and performance requirements. Policies are tuned to decrypt only where risk justifies it, avoiding blanket decryption. Alerts are mapped, ticketed, and routed for timely response.
What You Get
- Selective decryption: Inspection applied where threats hide, not across everything
- Policy-driven control: Define which apps, APIs, and flows can be decrypted
- Encrypted malware detection: Spot threats concealed inside SSL/TLS traffic
- Integration with SOC: Alerts tied to tickets, mapped to P1–P4
- Evidence for audits: Reporting aligned to compliance checks
The Outcomes We Deliver
- Visibility into encrypted traffic without breaking trust or privacy
- Fewer blind spots that attackers can exploit
- Documented evidence that inspection is policy-driven and auditable
- A balanced model: strong defence without added latency or user disruption
From Blind Spots To Clarity
Encryption should not mean invisibility. With Proactive Managed Firewall, you maintain privacy while closing blind spots, gaining clarity into traffic flows that matter most to your business and auditors.
