Encrypted Traffic Analytics

"This is a true revolutionary breakthrough -- the ability to find malware in encrypted traffic," said David Goeckeler, senior vice president and general manager of networking and security. "Cisco's Encrypted Traffic Analytics solves a network security challenge previously thought to be unsolvable."

Cisco said almost half of cyberattacks are hidden in encrypted traffic and this number keeps growing. By utilizing Cisco's Talos cyberintelligence and machine learning to analyze metadata traffic patterns, the network can identify the fingerprints of known threats even in encrypted traffic, without decrypting it and impacting data privacy.
