The latest update from Zenarmor is here, and it’s packed with powerful features and enhancements that promise to strengthen network security. Release 1.17 introduces critical capabilities such as Full TLS Inspection, enhanced Elasticsearch 8 support, and expanded platform compatibility with ARM 64-bit on FreeBSD 13.x, alongside the Single Sign-On (SSO) feature for Microsoft accounts to Zenconsole.
Full TLS Inspection: Balancing Security and Privacy
Zenarmor 1.17 introduces Full TLS Inspection to enhance security by providing visibility into encrypted traffic, a critical need as cyber threats evolve. This feature effectively uncovers hidden threats, ensuring encrypted data does not become a security blind spot. Understanding the potential legal concerns of decrypting sensitive communications, Zenarmor offers both options. This allows users to exclude specific traffic, such as medical or financial information, ensuring legal compliance and data confidentiality.
