This is the same for Morgan State. We do not decrypt avoid the potential
privacy and compliance issues. By decrypting SSL you will have access to
and storing HIPAA and PCI data.

We log all URL’s visited from on Campus with Palo Alto NGFW. We don’t
decrypt https, so it just logs the root URL for those. We can trace that
traffic back to a user fairly easily.



This is pretty helpful for phishing/malware incident response.

Hi,



We have a requirement to be able to collate internet browsing logs that
will also be able to provide us with detail around URLs visited especially
when forensic investigations are requested. We don’t have a requirement to
view the website contents, just websites visited. In the past TMG was used
as a proxy but since so much traffic is now SSL-based, I wanted to know
what other universities are using to capture HTTP/HTTPS traffic information
and being able to tie each URL visited to an identity.



Regards,

Roshan
