Using cloud-based internet security strategies to block encrypted web attacks
In the battle to inspect encrypted web traffic and ensure small and mid-size business (SMB) networks stay secure, one thing is certain — traditional security strategies aren’t enough to stay ahead of malicious web threats. As SMBs continue the race to the cloud, the challenge is that many businesses lack the time, resources, or knowledge to protect users accessing cloud services and cloud data. Considering that COVID-19 is causing many to consider permanent remote work for their teams, there is a potential for disaster if security measures don’t keep pace.
Just ask a managed service provider (MSP) or a managed security service provider (MSSP). The MSP or MSSP may likely tell you that the new clients they start working with have a mix of on-premise security appliances and applications from different vendors and a fair amount of security gaps in their networks.
For businesses with remote workforces that rely on cloud applications, on-premise and outdated security solutions aren’t going to be as effective for detecting and stopping encrypted web attacks. Yet, even progessive SMBs that have moved to the cloud may not know where to start when it comes to modern cybersecurity.
More than ever before, SMBs need the support of MSPs and MSSPs. They require advanced security strategies that solve for encrypted web threats, protect their traffic, and keep internet services free of compromise and performance disruption.
This is a critical ask. MSPs and MSSPs must find efficient ways to respond with security that is sophisticated but easy to use, without high costs or ongoing maintenance.
