Which offering can gain visibility and prevent an attack by a malicious actor attempting to exploit a known web server vulnerability using encrypted communication?
Full set: 151 questionsCorrect Answer:
C. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Inbound Inspection
Explanation
SSL Inbound Inspection allows VM-Series firewalls to decrypt, inspect, and re-encrypt SSL/TLS traffic coming into the network. This capability enables the firewall to gain visibility into encrypted communication and prevent attacks that exploit known web server vulnerabilities, even when the traffic is encrypted. By inspecting the decrypted traffic, the firewall can apply security policies to detect and block malicious activity.
