Network Encryption and its Impact on Enterprise Security

In late 2014, the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) and Blue Coat Systems conducted a collaborative research survey of 150 IT and information security professionals with knowledge of or responsibility for network encryption and the associated security policies, processes, and controls used at their organizations.

This research project was intended to assess the adoption of SSL/TLS network encryption technology and evaluate the information security practices used to decrypt and inspect encrypted traffic. Download this whitepaper to learn the key takeaways from this research survey.
