Accelerate Encrypted SSL/TLS Traffic Across Complex Defense Network Environments
To meet the demands of encrypted, mission-critical traffic across complex and bandwidth-constrained defense networks, the Department of Defense (DoD) turned to Riverbed’s enhanced SteelHead WAN Optimization and Client Accelerator. These solutions enable secure, zero-touch optimization of SSL/TLS traffic without compromising keys or credentials. By accessing temporary session keys, Riverbed bypasses traditional certificate management, unlocking up to 99% bandwidth reduction and up to 10x app performance. In one use case, a Uniformed Services Branch restored access to a vital logistics app over satellite, tripling bandwidth and enabling field repairs. Riverbed ensures speed, security, and mission readiness in encrypted environments.
