Decrypting Cyber Threats
The top three tips for implementing decryption
With over 95% of web traffic now encrypted and 70% of cyberattacks leveraging encryption to evade detection, organizations that fail to decrypt their traffic are effectively blind to a majority of threats.
In this Deep Dive, host Lieuwe Jan Koning and Rob Maas (Field CTO at ON2IT) explore why decrypting SSL traffic is critical for cybersecurity.
❓ Why is SSL decryption necessary, and what are the risks of ignoring encrypted traffic?
❓ How do modern malware and attacks leverage encryption to bypass traditional security measures?
❓ What are the top three things organizations must do to implement SSL decryption effectively?
❓ Why do only 3.5% of organizations have an active SSL decryption policy, and how can this change?
Rob Maas explains how decrypting SSL traffic allows security teams to detect and stop threats at an early stage, preventing malware downloads, phishing attempts, and web-based attacks before they reach endpoints.

Episode details
Many organizations hesitate to implement SSL decryption due to concerns over complexity, privacy, and performance. However, as Rob and Lieuwe discuss, the reality is that failing to decrypt means failing to see threats. This episode breaks down the technical aspects of SSL encryption and decryption, the importance of certificate management, and how organizations can implement decryption policies without disrupting business operations.
Topics covered in this episode:
✅ The impact of encrypted threats: 70% of attacks use SSL to evade detection.
✅ How decryption enables early-stage attack prevention.
✅ Overcoming common challenges in implementing SSL decryption.
✅ The role of automation and policy enforcement in making decryption manageable.
While encryption is designed to protect sensitive data, it has also created a significant blind spot for security teams. Rob Maas makes the case for why organizations must decrypt strategically to maintain strong security postures without compromising performance or privacy.
