HTTPS Decryption
To protect data in transport across the internet, browsers, and cloud apps use encryption. As you connect to websites, an encrypted connection is established between your browser and the website, around 80% of websites on the internet now use HTTPS encryption.
Usually, anything you see after the domain suffix is encrypted, therefore invisible to your web filtering, HTTPS Decryption allows your establishment to inspect encrypted traffic and its contents, thus giving your establishment more granular control over your web filtering.
Advantages of using HTTPS Decryption:
- Improved Security: HTTPS decryption allows schools to analyse encrypted traffic, making it easier to identify and block malicious content, malware, phishing attempts, and other cyber threats that may be hidden within HTTPS-encrypted websites.
- Content Filtering: With HTTPS decryption, schools can apply granular content filtering policies, restricting access to inappropriate or harmful websites that may otherwise be hidden behind encryption.
- Monitoring & Reporting: Decrypted HTTPS traffic allows schools to monitor students' internet activity more effectively.
- Compliance & Policy Enforcement: Schools often have acceptable use policies for internet usage. HTTPS decryption ensures that students and staff adhere to the guidelines established by the school.
- Threat Detection & Prevention: Decrypting HTTPS traffic enables the inspection of web content for potential threats that may be missed by traditional security measures.
