Encryption vs. Visibility: Why SecOps Must Decrypt Traffic for Analysis
14 PagesEncryption improves privacy but hinders threat detection, creating blind spots exploited by attackers. SecOps must decrypt traffic to gain visibility into threats hiding in encrypted east-west and north-south traffic. ExtraHop Reveal(x) offers out-of-band decryption without latency or risk, enabling full packet inspection and real-time detection at scale. It supports TLS 1.3, NTLM, Kerberos, and Microsoft protocols like SMB and LDAP. While encrypted traffic analysis (ETA) and JA3 fingerprinting offer limited insights, only decryption enables deep investigation and response to modern threats hidden in encrypted flows.
