Why SSLproxy is Unique

  • Unrivaled Decryption: SSLproxy is the only SSL proxy specifically designed to decrypt and seamlessly divert encrypted packets to other programs for in-depth analysis. This unique feature enables a level of inspection unmatched by other FOSS solutions.
  • Comprehensive Threat Analysis: By making encrypted traffic visible, UTMFW can apply its full suite of security services – including IDS/IPS, web filtering, and antivirus scanning – to threats hidden within SSL/TLS sessions.
  • Privacy-Aware: While offering deep inspection, SSLproxy is designed with privacy considerations. It provides granular control over what traffic is inspected and how, allowing organizations to balance security needs with privacy policies.

SSLproxy’s integration ensures that UTMFW offers true next-generation firewall capabilities, protecting your network from sophisticated threats that leverage encryption to bypass security controls.
