Description
Allowing traffic to bypass the security checkpoints such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems puts the network infrastructure and critical data at risk. Malicious traffic could enter the network undetected and attack a key network element or the server farm. Hence, it is imperative all encrypted traffic entering the network be decrypted prior to the content checking devices. This requirement is applicable to network architecture and is not applicable to the routing function.
