The Problem

SSL/TLS introduces tradeoffs between security, performance, and integration

While essential, SSL/TLS processing often adds measurable latency to each request, which quickly adds up at scale and can impact overall performance. 

Many application delivery platforms require dedicated SSL/TLS processing hardware to maintain good performance. They can also fail to support the latest protocol standards — limiting how organizations can incorporate SSL/TLS into their tech stacks.

Speed matters

SSL/TLS processing incurs the largest performance hit during the handshake — especially on servers lacking ample CPU resources.

Implementation is lagging

21% of Amazon Alexa's top 100,000 websites don't use HTTPS, hinting at performance or implementation concerns.

The Solution

HAProxy delivers flexible, high-performance SSL/TLS support

Boost application security while adding nearly zero latency. OCSP stapling, zero round trip time resumption (0-RTT), SSL/TLS session resumption, HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and more safeguard your traffic management.
