Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an application-level protocol that provides encryption technology for the Internet.
From virtually nothing just a few years ago, it is not uncommon to see 50 to 70 percent of data centre traffic encrypted today. While encryption improves security, it also creates new problems: Malicious traffic could be encrypted, and DPI detection mechanisms would be rendered ineffective because they would not be able to look inside this traffic. Another problem is the additional processing power required by the Web server to achieve this encryption/decryption.
SSL offload relieves a Web server of the processing burden of encrypting and/or decrypting traffic sent via SSL/TLS. The processing is offloaded to a separate device (physical or virtual appliance, or server software) designed specifically to perform SSL acceleration or SSL termination.
Take control of your applications. As application environments become more complex, more distributed, and more virtualized, enterprises need a broader set of tools to solve performance problems for their web-based services. Ivanti Virtual Traffic Manager is a software-based application delivery controller (ADC) designed to deliver a faster, high-performance user experience, with more reliable access to […]
Pulse Secure vADC is a software-based application delivery controller (ADC) designed to deliver faster and more reliable access to public websites and private applications. Pulse Secure vADC provides the functionality for SSL/TLS Offload, enabling organisations to scale application servers by up to 3x by offloading TCP and SSL connection overhead.
I have worked with IP-Performance for over 20 years and have always found them to be knowledgeable, helpful, prepared to go above and beyond and always right on the edge of modern technology and trends. So, when they suggested we might want to let them do an internal security audit, we jumped at the chance and the results were nothing short of jaw dropping… I would recommend anyone take a look at their portfolio, even if you think you have all your security bases covered… Trust me, you haven’t. I would recommend the portfolio, and anything that IP-P do to anyone across the industry. The breadth of what they cover is astounding.
