Cyberthreats and the attack vectors through which they go after federal networks are constantly evolving. The modern cyberthreat is a moving target at best. This makes defending against these dynamic threats as challenging as it is essential. Whether data is at rest or on the move, encrypting and conducting SSL inspection of all data packets is essential. The trick is to do so without bogging down network traffic.
