SSL Appliance allows an intrusion prevention system (IPS) to make inspection of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) of traffic, blocking potentially harmful part which can be disguised by enciphering. SSL Appliance gives the chance to users to save the highest level of security of information with SSL enciphering, without worrying that the malicious software or other threats are hidden in traffic.
Enhanced capabilities of inspection of SSL do not reduce performance of IPS Sensor of users of a system of Sourcefire IPS now. The built-in SSL decoders usually use the general hardware resources while the architecture of Sourcefire company starts IPS and SSL processes on the separate systems for inspection. Such scheme of work allows to exempt Sourcefire IPS from enciphering/decoding functions and by that improves performance. The hardware solution of Sourcefire SSL is available in two options: 4-port (fail-open) 1G fiber and 4-port (fail-open) 1G copper.
