F5 BASIC HARDWARE SCHEDULE A R590

The ever-increasing volume of encrypted traffic is hampering the ability of IT and security operations (SecOps) teams to protect their applications, customer data, and intellectual property. Traditional security gateways, network firewalls - even next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) - and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) are increasingly running blind to SSL/TLS traffic. Attackers commonly hide threats within links to encrypted websites or encrypted payload attachments in phishing and spear phishing attacks, and they use encrypted channels to evade detection during data exfiltration and command-and-control (C2) communications.
They will select specific cipher primitives based on known security product gaps to force bypass of encrypted malicious traffic. The growth in SSL/TLS encryption is a challenge for enterprises, because without security tools able to inspect inbound and outbound SSL/TLS traffic efficiently at scale, encrypted attacks go undetected and expose your applications and data to breaches.
Visibility into and inspection of SSL/TLS traffic only scratches the security surface, though. Most organizations lack the ability to centrally control and implement decryption policies across the multiple existing and deployed security inspection devices commonly found in an organization's security stack. Many organizations resort to daisy-chaining devices or tedious, manual configurations to support inspection across the security stack - increasing latency, complexity, and risk.
F5 BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator is designed and purpose-built to enhance SSL/TLS infrastructure, provide security solutions with visibility into SSL/TLS encrypted traffic, and optimize and maximize your existing security investments. BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator delivers dynamic service chaining and policy-based traffic steering, applying context-based intelligence to encrypted traffic handling to allow you to intelligently manage the flow of encrypted traffic across your entire security stack, ensuring optimal availability.
Designed to easily integrate with existing architectures and to centrally manage the SSL/TLS decrypt/re-encrypt function, BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator delivers the SSL/TLS encryption technologies across your entire security infrastructure. With BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator's high-performance encryption and decryption capabilities, your organization can quickly discover hidden threats and prevent attacks at multiple stages, leveraging your existing security solutions.
BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator ensures encrypted traffic can be decrypted, inspected by security controls, then re-encrypted - delivering enhanced visibility to mitigate threats traversing the network. As a result, you can maximize your security services investment for malware, data loss prevention (DLP), ransomware, and NGFWs, thereby preventing inbound and outbound threats, including exploitation, callback, and data exfiltration.
