Sophos Antivirus over SSL forward proxy supports HTTPS traffic

UTM Sophos Antivirus over SSL forward proxy supports HTTPS traffic by intercepting HTTPS traffic passing through the device. The security channel from the SRX Series device is divided as one SSL channel between the client and the device and another SSL channel between the device and the HTTPS server. SSL forward proxy acts as the terminal for both channels and forwards the cleartext traffic to UTM. UTM extracts the URL and the file checksum information from cleartext traffic. The Sophos Antivirus scanner determines whether to block or permit the requests.
