Introduction
Welcome to the Webwasher® User’s G uide SSL Scanner. It provides you with
the information needed to configure and use the SSL Scanner, which is one of
the products of the Webwasher Secure Content Management (SCM) Suite.
The Webwasher SSL Scanner enables you to extend your existing security
and Internet usage policies to the HTTPS protocol and to prevent certificate
misuse.
SSL-encrypted content, including viruses, spyware, MP3s, pornography, and
confidential company files, is beyond the reach of any Anti-Virus scanner and
content filter.
The SSL Scanner allows you to manage this encrypted content in the same
way as HTTP content and thus to prevent policy evasion, while it is also scan-
ning Web traffic for all kinds of threats to your network.
