Proxy Security

Definitions

1. The security of proxy infrastructure and the controls proxies provide, including authentication, filtering, logging, certificate handling, and resistance to bypass or misuse. Because proxies often sit in sensitive traffic paths, their compromise or misconfiguration can have broad impact.

   In plain English: Security for proxy systems and the controls they enforce on traffic.

   Example: "The audit focused on proxy security because the outbound gateway terminated TLS and had access to employee browsing credentials."
