SSL Inspection

SSL Inspection (also referred to as SSL/TLS Inspection or HTTPS inspection) is a security process where encrypted web traffic (SSL/TLS traffic) is decrypted and inspected for potential threats before being re-encrypted and sent to the intended destination. This is essential because many cyberattacks use HTTPS to conceal malicious activities such as malware delivery, data exfiltration, and phishing attempts within encrypted traffic.
