With the increasing trend of business services and applications leveraging encryption as the leading method of securing data in transit, malicious actors have once again adapted by developing more sophisticated attacks that employ the same technology. By using encryption to mask activities, bad actors can evade detection at organizations that lack the ability to inspect…
