SSL Monitoring with PRTG

Monitor specific SSL/TLS protocol versions

Knowing which encryption protocols are being used on a per-port basis is crucial for the continued security of your network.

PRTG’s SSL Security Check sensor can monitor specific versions of SSL/TLS protocols and provide detailed information about which ones are accepted or denied on each device port. This way, you can easily identify outdated and insecure protocols and update them without the guesswork.

Customize port security ratings

The SSL Security Check sensor uses so-called lookups to assign a security rating to each port on the network, providing a system of identification for weak or outdated encryption methods, as well as for strong encryption where connections to weak SSL or TLS protocols are not possible.

You can also create custom lookups to define what status each version is given based on your business’s specific security policies and requirements.

Keep an eye on SSL certificates

PRTG also lets you use SSL/TLS to encrypt your own monitoring data – for even this data may contain sensitive information which must be protected against unauthorized access while being sent across the company network. You can import individual SSL certificates for this purpose.

What’s more: the preconfigured SSL Security Check sensor lets you monitor the certificate of an SSL/TLS-secured connection. It shows you if the certificate has been revoked, is trusted as root authority, the days to expiration, and more.

Configurable alerts and notifications

PRTG alerts are fully customizable. Choose who should receive the alerts. Set alerts to specific thresholds based on what you know about your network. Set up escalation policies that are triggered when an alert is triggered or resolved by a specific time.

Set notifications to require acknowledgment or to delay in the instance of an issue that may resolve itself. You can even choose the method of notification, from SMS alerts and mobile push notifications to emails and executing HTTP actions.
