Episode 24: Encryption and Traffic Security Monitoring
Encryption plays a dual role in cybersecurity—protecting data confidentiality and creating blind spots in visibility. In this episode, we examine how public key infrastructure (PKI) underpins secure communication, how certificates are issued and validated, and where SSL/TLS encryption fits into the data protection stack.
We also explore how SSL inspection works in enterprise environments and what trade-offs it introduces in terms of privacy, performance, and visibility. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand the role of encryption in modern security workflows and how analysts can monitor and investigate traffic in encrypted environments without sacrificing security coverage.
