"Hiding Undetected: Why Security Teams Can No Longer Overlook HTTPS Decryption"

Decrypting HTTPS (TLS/SSL) traffic at the network perimeter is crucial in the protection against malware and other online threats. Much of today's web traffic is encrypted, offering a hiding place for threat actors to deliver cyberattacks. Many network security controls are not set to inspect encrypted traffic. Recent findings from WatchGuard's Threat Lab in its Internet Security Report (ISR) for the fourth quarter of 2022 suggested a decline in overall malware volume, but Threat Lab analysts discovered a much higher prevalence of malware delivered over encrypted connections when they examined decrypted HTTPS traffic more closely. This article continues to discuss why it is important not to overlook HTTPS decryption.
