What is TLS/SSL inspection?

TLS inspection decrypts HTTPS traffic at a proxy, inspects for threats, and re-encrypts before forwarding — allowing security tools to see encrypted traffic content.
Requires deploying a trusted CA certificate to client browsers. Privacy concern: employer can see all HTTPS traffic. Breaks certificate pinning. GDPR considerations for personal traffic. Used by firewalls, proxies, and CASB solutions.
