Deep Packet Inspection Without Crashing Internet Speeds
Over 85% of corporate web traffic is encrypted under TLS 1.3. Traditional legacy firewalls that cannot decrypt and inspect encrypted traffic are essentially blind to modern malware and command-and-control beacons. The Sophos XGS series (with dedicated dual-processor Xstream architecture) and Fortinet FortiGate (powered by custom SOC4/SP5 ASICs) inspect multi-gigabit encrypted streams without slowing down office internet.
