The iBoss utilizes a multi-layer approach to apply filtering policy to SSL/HTTPs based streams. This includes applications that attempt to utilize these standard secure channels to bypass the filter such as enhanced next generation proxies.

SSL Certificate Interception

The iBoss intercepts SSL & HTTPs handshake certificates in order to inspect the validity of the certificate and the domain being accessed. The iBoss verifies the certificate and domain ensuring that it is adhering to the current filtering policy in place.

Rogue Encrypted Connection Blocking

The iBoss will detect rouge encrypted connections which are made to non-verified locations automatically to prevent fly by night threats and home brewed proxy avoidance setups. This provides first line protection against data loss through secure channels and advanced proxy avoidance hacking techniques.
