HTTPS Scanning
Peer inside encrypted sessions for damaging contents.
A secure surfing session protects user data and privacy, but threatens the security of the company. Sites visited and files downloaded over HTTPS can contain malicious content that can enter the network while the security device remains blind. Astaro’s HTTPS filtering removes this unwanted network blind spot and gives you full visibility into this traffic.
HTTPS is a secure connection usually made between the user’s browser and a target website. Web masters use HTTPS in their sites so that file sharing and even home-user sites can make use of HTTPS.
Astaro’s HTTPS filtering can examine inside encrypted streams using an advanced man-in-the-middle approach to provide a full range of control. Acting as a trusted authority which can be deployed by download, email attachment or directory policy push, Astaro is able to completely scan HTTPS.
URL filtering can be performed on the sites accessed and Astaro can also look deep inside the stream itself and identify viruses, spyware and malicious content that is being accessed over HTTPS. This provides great protection should a site that is trusted become compromised and start serving malicious content over HTTPS, as Astaro will still be able to stop it. Programs which tunnel over HTTPS, like anonymous surfing or crafty instant message programs will no longer be allowed to connect.
Astaro’s HTTPS Scanning offers fully transparent content filtering even for encrypted web sessions protecting against abuse, infection, and unwanted surfing activity over HTTPS.
