A10 introduces centralised
management and advanced
security analytics for SSL Inspection
/////////////////////////////
A
10 Networks, a provider of
intelligent and automated
cybersecurity solutions, has
released a major upgrade to its multi-cloud
analytics and management platform, the
A10 Harmony Controller.
The upgrade expands A10’s advanced
security and connected intelligence
capabilities via a new Harmony App that
supports A10’s enterprise SSL inspection
solution, Thunder SSLi (SSL Insight).
As encrypted traffic rises so does the
expansion of a major security blind spot for
organisations. This, coupled with a rise in
evolved cyberattacks like ransomware, has
led to an increase in the use of encryption to
deliver malware to unsuspecting end-users.
Ransomware attacks like WannaCry affected
over 200,000 users worldwide and account
for almost 50% of all malware attacks.
Dedicated decryption solutions have become
a de-facto standard for enterprises so that
their entire security infrastructure can gain
full visibility into encrypted traffic, without
compromising performance or scale, to stop
hidden attacks pre-emptively and ensure
continued business operations.
However, enterprises with multiple,
geographically dispersed deployments face
a larger challenge. It is vital for enterprises to
invest in a decryption solution that provides
centralised analytics and management that
simplifies operations and can track traffic
patterns and user behaviour from multiple
sites, presenting simplified insights for easy
identification of anomalies.
A10’s SSL Insight, with Harmony Controller, is
a complete solution that provides enterprises
with full visibility into encrypted traffic, to

enhance their security efficacy, as well as
centralised management and advanced
analytics to augment their rapid growth. With
the SSL Insight solution, organisations have
access to:
Centralised management for multi-
site deployments and simplified policy
distribution to reduce TCO and improve
security staff efficiency
Advanced analytics with actionable
insights into traffic categorisation,
anomalies and suspicious activities for
easy troubleshooting and rapid response,
ensuring ongoing operations
Application detection and control
for user behaviour analysis, increasing
employee productivity and improving
operational efficiency
Simplified, wizard-driven configuration
for rapid deployment to minimize
operational complexity
A10’s SSL Insight, with Harmony Controller,
provides new levels of control and simplified
analytics to help businesses keep up with
the rapid growth in encrypted traffic and
the evolution of cyberthreats. It provides
a unique solution to simplify multi-site
deployment and management, with detailed
visibility and insights into application
traffic, thereby increasing security efficacy,
shortening troubleshooting times, and
enabling simplified capacity planning for

“Today, the rapid growth of large enterprises
and their expansion across multiple locations
is introducing new challenges for IT teams
to ensure continued security,” said Yasir
Liaqatullah, VP of Product Management at
A10 Networks.

Middle East at A10 Networks
“The updated SSL Insight not only
enables the enterprise security stack to
stop encrypted threats but also provides
a unique centralised management and
advanced analytics platform, helping to
ease the stress and burden that is weighing
on these IT teams.”
Mohammed Al-Moneer, Regional Director
– Middle East at A10 Networks, added:
“While dedicated security devices provide
in-depth inspection and analysis of network
traffic, they are not designed to decrypt and
encrypt traffic at high speeds. In fact, many
security products do not have the ability to
decrypt traffic at all.
“The most comprehensive decryption solution,
A10 Thunder SSLi (SSL Insight) decrypts
traffic across all ports, enabling third-party
security devices to analyse all enterprise traffic
without compromising performance.” n
