F5 Networks Whitepapers
We are moving very quickly toward an Internet where nearly every piece of data in transit will be encrypted. Download this whitepaper to find out how to protect your apps by orchestrating your SSL Traffic.
Dealing with encrypted traffic can be complex, costly, and disruptive. The problem escalates immeasurably if you are operating blind to cyber threats, which is basically what businesses are doing without a comprehensive SSL/TLS strategy in place. Download this whitepaper to find out how to simplify SSL/TLS Management and keep your data secure.
According to research from the F5 Labs threat intelligence team, 80% of page loads on millions of sites sampled are encrypted. Transport Layer Security (TLS) adoption has become the norm for organizations of all sizes and in all industries due to several driving factors: the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Google search results ranking preferences, browser warnings for HTTP (cleartext) sites, and the growing importance of privacy, to name just a few.
While this evolution improves security for web traffic, it comes at a price—increased workload demand and the potential hazards of malware cloaked in encrypted traffic.
Find out how to defend against what you cant see.
According to research by F5 Labs, more than 81% of all web page loads are now encrypted with SSL/TLS, which means that we are moving very quickly toward an Internet where nearly every piece of data in transit will be encrypted. However, the rise of SSL/TLS isn’t all good news. Attackers are increasingly hiding insidious attacks within encrypted traffic—which means that the security protocol itself has become a threat vector. Regaining visibility into that encrypted traffic is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your apps, your data, and your business Find out how today.
The world set a new record for data breaches in 2016, with more than 4.2 billion exposed records, shattering the former record of 1.1 billion in 2013. But if 2016 was bad, 2017 is shaping up to be even worse. In the first six months of 2017, there were 2,227 breaches reported, exposing over 6 billion records and putting untold numbers of accounts at risk.
Out of all these stolen records, a large majority include usernames and passwords, which are leveraged in 81 percent of hacking-related breaches according to the 2017 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report. Faced with evergrowing concerns over application and data integrity, organisations must prioritise identity protection in their security strategies. In fact, safeguarding the identity of users and managing the level of access they have to critical business applications could be the biggest security challenge organisations face in 2017.
As applications drive business, more and more valuable data is accessed and exchanged through them.
Cybercriminals attempt to compromise your apps with schemes like social engineering, malware writing, botnet herding, credit card fraud, credential laundering, trading in stolen digital goods, and selling corporate intellectual property—all intended to generate increasing returns.
In a world of different types of criminals with varying skill levels, time commitments, resources, and specialisations, there’s only one constant: attackers have their eyes set firmly on your apps and the data behind them—and they’re using malware to steal it.
In today’s digital marketplace, your applications are your business. They fuel innovation and are the driving force for staying competitive in an always-on, always-connected world. Apps are the way you build relationships with your customers, empower your employees, facilitate growth, and so much more.
The rise of the cloud has produced billions of new apps that hold untold amounts of confidential data. These cloud-based apps give businesses of all sizes the agility necessary to thrive in an increasingly fast-paced marketplace. However, they also create a host of complex challenges—and new risks. And, with automated tools and a growing repository of expertise for hire, threats are increasing and hacking has turned into a for-profit game.
So, while apps have increased productivity and the speed of innovation, they have also opened the door to unprecedented threats, expanding the risk landscape and putting corporate data and reputations at risk.
