In today's digital landscape, ensuring the security of cloud-based infrastructure is paramount for enterprises. One of the critical components in safeguarding these systems is the implementation of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Traditionally, IDS involves decrypting network traffic to identify potential threats. However, not all traffic flows require decryption and intrusion detection.

Enterprises applications requirement varies with traffic flows: Enterprises operate diverse applications that handle a wide range of data. These applications often differ in terms of their sensitivity to potential security threats. For instance, a financial application dealing with confidential transactions demands robust intrusion detection with decryption, while a non-sensitive application may only require basic monitoring. It is essential for organizations to have a flexible IDS solution that aligns with the specific security requirements of their applications, based on traffic flows.

Performing full decryption on all traffic flows can be an expensive and resource-intensive process. In such cases, the ability to detect intrusions without decrypting the entire traffic stream becomes an efficient and cost-effective solution.

Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewalls offer a unique functionality that addresses the challenge of performing intrusion detection without decryption in cloud environments. This innovative cloud solution enables enterprises to protect their infrastructure without the need to decrypt every single packet. By selectively applying intrusion detection mechanisms, Aviatrix Distributed Firewalls efficiently monitor traffic flows, ensuring the security of sensitive applications while minimizing unnecessary decryption overhead.
