Re: Securing Greenfield Service Provider Clients

Are you really suggesting decrypting customer traffic? In most parts of the
world that act falls in one of two categories: it is either required by law
or it is illegal.

Offer your customers a good virus scanner to install instead.

Dear Nanog;



Hope everyone is getting ready for a good weekend.  I’m working on a
greenfield service provider network and I’m running into a security
challenge.  I hope the great minds here can help.



Since the majority of traffic is SSL/TLS, encrypted malicious content can
pass through even an “NGFW” device without detection and classification.



Without setting up SSL encrypt/decrypt through a MITM setup and handing
certificates out to every client, is there any other software/hardware that
can perform DPI and/or ssl analysis so I can prevent encrypted malicious
content from being downloaded to my users?



Have experience with Palo and Firepower but even these need the MITM
approach.  I appreciate any advice anyone can provide.



Best,

CJ
