VSS Monitoring Adds SSL Inspection to Network Packet Brokers

VSS Monitoring introduced SSL monitoring capabilities for its line of network packet brokers, providing visibility into encrypted communications across LAN, WAN and cloud boundaries.

 VSS Monitoring’s SSL inspection solution is based on 1U and 2U network appliances powered by Intel’s Xeon processors and accelerated by Netronome’s flow processors and SSL inspection software.

Key capabilities include:

· Line rate decryption for millions of simultaneous flows on 1/10 gigabit Ethernet links
· Support for inbound and outbound SSL inspection of network communications
· Full integration and interoperability with new and existing packet broker fabric deployments
· Interoperability with the McAfee Network Security Platform

 “Network security managers are facing an onslaught of new web- and cloud-based communications that use encryption by default,” said Dean Beaver, VP of worldwide sales & alliances at VSS Monitoring.  “Our network packet brokers with enhanced SSL inspection are a natural complement for organizations looking to extend the benefits of the McAfee Network Security Platform to include in-bound and out-bound SSL traffic while maintaining line-rate speeds.”
