TLS/SSL Decryption
Eliminate network blind spots – your Zero Trust Architecture demands it.
Efficiently Inspect and Monitor Encrypted Traffic
With the volume of encrypted traffic on the rise, including adoption of the latest TLS 1.3 protocol, network security teams need efficient decryption capabilities. Decrypting select TLS/SSL traffic allows inspection by security and monitoring tools while maintaining overall data security. Employing intelligent decryption underpins a Zero Trust architecture by validating encrypted traffic complies with your security policies.
GigaSMART® TLS/SSL Decryption brings deep observability to encrypted traffic. This licensed application enables SecOps, NetOps, and applications teams to:
- Detect previously concealed threat activity in encrypted traffic
- Bolster network security against data breaches and threats through encrypted communication safeguards
- Enhance application and network performance monitoring
- Gain insights into application and network usage patterns
Streamline and boost the effectiveness of your security and monitoring tools by delegating resource-intensive decryption tasks.

Product Details
GigaSMART TLS/SSL Decryption excels in centralizing and offloading TLS/SSL decryption and re-encryption tasks, even accommodating TLS 1.3, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of your security tools and mitigating performance challenges. Integration into your hybrid cloud infrastructure ensures deep observability across architectures, allowing authorized traffic while exposing potential TLS/SSL-encased malware, thereby reinforcing overall network security. GigaSMART TLS/SSL Decryption supports both inline (break and inspect) and passive (out-of-band) modes.
Flexible Deployment Options
Enable TLS/SSL detection on any port or application, with 10 Mb up to 100 Gb interface support. Decrypt once, feed as many tools as required.
Future-Proof Scalability
Protect tool performance and scale as needed. Support easy tool maintenance, updates, and upgrades.
Integration Options
Integrate smoothly with the Venafi TPP™ and Entrust nCipher™ to centralize key management and validation. Address diverse needs by supporting inline or out-of-band decryption. Enable automatic TLS/SSL detection on any port.
Resources
“Before Gigamon, we had out-of-band SSL decryption everywhere, and we were decrypting about 65 percent of traffic on average. Now, with the GigaSMART SSL decryption engine, we typically get well over 90 percent visibility in the encrypted traffic.”
“Gigamon is traditionally thought of as a network efficiency platform, but the underlying technology has radical implications in cybersecurity as well. Visibility of encrypted packets is more of a must-have than a like-to-have, and intelligent traffic handling is a requisite in optimizing bandwidth and reducing storage costs.”
"It's a set it and forget it type of appliance, I love the deduplication features, SSL Decryption, and multiple cloud virtual tap functionality! So this is a very hybrid solution!"

Decrypt Once and Scale Your Security Stack
SSL decryption is critical to securing modern enterprise networks due to the exponential growth in applications and services using encrypted traffic. Malware increasingly utilizes SSL/TLS sessions to hide, betting that security tools will neither inspect nor block its traffic. When that occurs, SSL/TLS sessions can become compromised and inadvertently camouflage malicious traffic. Said another way, the very technology that makes the internet secure can be effectively used as a significant threat vector.
Enabling SSL decryption uses the root certificate on client machines, acting as certificate authority for SSL requests. This process makes it possible for SSL decryption to decrypt, perform a detailed inspection, and then re-encrypt SSL traffic before sending it off to its destination. This helps ensure that only authorized SSL traffic is traversing the network, and that malware hidden in SSL/TLS sessions is detected and remediated within the SSL decryption process.
GigaSMART Decryption
GigaSMART® SSL/TLS Decryption is a licensed application that enables information security, NetOps and applications teams to obtain deep observability into SSL/TLS traffic regardless of protocol or application, so that they can monitor application performance, analyze usage patterns and secure their networks against data breaches and threats using encrypted communications. Gigamon supports both inline/man-in-the middle and passive/out-of-band decryption of SSL/TLS, meeting the diverse needs of your organization. Gigamon supports the latest TLS 1.3.

Benefits of SSL Decryption on Different Architectures
Firewalls and web security gateways decrypt SSL/TLS traffic but often cannot deliver that decrypted traffic to other monitoring and security tools. Likewise, load balancers are good at terminating SSL/TLS traffic and load balancing to servers but lack the ability to distribute this traffic to multiple inline security tools prior to re-encryption. Lastly, these solutions lack the traffic selection controls to forward non-encrypted traffic at line rate and often send all traffic to the decryption engine, creating performance challenges. Only with the Gigamon Hawk Deep Observability Pipeline can you get true visibility on different architectures.
