Malicious Use of Encryption; Covert Communication in Plain Sight
The malicious use of encryption is growing at an alarming rate according to NSS Labs' BaitNET test infrastructure. Why? Encrypted web communication routinely bypasses enterprise security controls. Left unscanned, these channels are perfect vehicles for hiding infection, command & control and data exfiltration.
