A10 Networks Thunder® SSLi Eliminates Blind
Spots, Protects Networks from Hidden Threats
A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN) today announced Borusan Holding, a
US$4.8 billion industrial group based in Turkey and operating in 10
countries, has selected A10 Thunder SSL Insight to help protect its
network from hidden threats that may come in with the growing
amount of encrypted internet traffic. Thunder SSLi is a
comprehensive SSL/TLS decryption solution that enables security
devices to efficiently analyze enterprise internet traffic against
potential threats.
The vast majority of web and application traffic today is
encrypted via SSL/TLS to ensure data integrity and privacy, not
necessarily security. And this creates real issues as security
tools become blind to any nefarious activity happening in encrypted
traffic - before the attack, during the attack, and even after the
attack. Criminals take advantage of this and hide attacks in an
enterprise’s encrypted traffic.
Guarding against such hidden threats is a top priority for
Borusan. Volumes of encrypted web traffic were rising dramatically,
driven by the adoption of Microsoft Office 365 and other
cloud-based applications. Outbound SSL traffic was a growing blind
spot.
“90 percent of our internet traffic is SSL. Almost all
sophisticated security attacks use SSL traffic to hide themselves
from security defenses. It is very important for us to be able to
examine all encrypted traffic,” said Yasar Sarcan, chief
information security officer (CISO) at Borusan Holding.
“We have 9,000 users and 2,000 servers accessing the internet
via only one shared internet circuit. With A10 Thunder SSLi, we are
better protected against hidden attacks. It gives us visibility
into all encrypted attacks, and we have eliminated our blind spots.
Now that we can intercept all of the traffic and check it out, we
are better able to detect encrypted attacks,” said Cumhur
Hatipoğlu, senior security architect at Borusan Holding.
Borusan evaluated the leading SSL inspection products and chose
Thunder SSLi because of its leading interception technology,
source-side NAT support, and integrated load balancing, which helps
to distribute internet traffic between proxy appliances.
Thunder SSLi decrypts traffic across all ports, enabling
third-party security devices to analyze all enterprise traffic
without degrading performance. Thunder SSLi decrypts HTTPS traffic
and forwards it in clear text to the firewall, proxy, IPS and
deep-packet inspection solutions. Thunder SSLi then re-encrypts
traffic and sends it off to its final destination.
“Today, encryption has become ubiquitous. And while encryption
can ensure the privacy of the data, it can put enterprises at risk.
Cyber criminals are increasingly taking advantage of encrypted
traffic to launch phishing and ransomware attacks, and to spread
viruses and Trojans embedded into documents. Thunder SSLi is a
high-performance, dedicated SSL inspection solution that allows
enterprises to remove the blind spots while maintaining compliance
with privacy standards,” said Yasir Liaqatullah, vice president of
product management at A10 Networks.
