Nubeva Wins 2019 Stratus Award for Cloud Disruption
San Jose, California — Nubeva Technologies Ltd. (TSX-V: NBVA), a cloud visibility SaaS software developer, announced it received the 2019 Stratus Award from the Business Intelligence Group, specifically in the Cloud Disruptor category. The Stratus Awards recognize companies, products, and individuals delivering unique solutions that leverage cloud technologies.
The Business Intelligence Group uses a proprietary scoring system evaluated by business executives with relevant industry experience, rather than relying solely on editorial staff, to select award recipients.
The Problem: Encrypted Traffic Blinds Security and DevOps Teams
As enterprises move workloads to public, private, and hybrid clouds, the widespread adoption of TLS encryption creates a significant operational challenge: security and network monitoring tools lose visibility into encrypted traffic. This blind spot hampers threat detection, incident response, and application troubleshooting — all critical functions for security and DevOps teams.
Traditional inline decryption approaches struggle to scale in cloud-native environments and often cannot handle modern cipher suites such as those employing Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), which generates a unique session key for every connection and prevents retrospective decryption.
Nubeva TLS Decrypt: Out-of-Band Decryption for Cloud Traffic
Nubeva’s flagship product, TLS Decrypt, was launched in June 2019. It is designed to restore full packet-level visibility into encrypted cloud network traffic without requiring inline interception or changes to application architecture. Key technical claims made by the company include:
- Out-of-band decryption — operates outside the traffic path, avoiding latency and availability risks associated with inline decryption proxies.
- Symmetric Key Intercept — a patent-pending technique that captures session keys at the point of generation, enabling decryption of sessions regardless of the cipher suite used.
- Broad protocol and cipher support — covers TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3; Diffie-Hellman variants (DH, ECDH, ECDHE); Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) implementations; pinned certificates; AES, AES-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305; and legacy ciphers in use since approximately 2003.
- Cloud-native, SaaS-based architecture — deployable in minutes across any cloud platform without dedicated hardware appliances.
- Session key capture and storage — allows security and DevOps teams to retrieve and use stored session keys when and where required for forensic analysis or real-time monitoring.
Why This Matters for DevOps and Security Teams
For DevOps engineers managing cloud infrastructure, encrypted traffic inspection is increasingly a compliance and security requirement. Capabilities like Nubeva’s approach address several common operational needs:
- Security monitoring: Feeding decrypted traffic to IDS/IPS, SIEM, or NDR tools without reconfiguring the application stack.
- Incident response: Retroactively decrypting captured sessions using stored session keys during forensic investigations.
- Application troubleshooting: Inspecting encrypted payloads to diagnose performance and functional issues in microservices and API-driven architectures.
- Compliance: Maintaining auditability of data in motion across cloud boundaries in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Industry Recognition and Target Markets
Nubeva’s TLS Decrypt solution targets enterprises in software and high-tech, financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors — industries with strict requirements around both encryption and regulatory visibility.
On receiving the award, Steve Perkins, Chief Marketing Officer at Nubeva, stated:
“Organizations must inspect and monitor their data in motion as it moves between networks, systems and clouds. We’ve developed a much-needed solution that once again provides full visibility into public, private and hybrid cloud traffic. The solution takes just minutes to deploy and allows security and DevOps teams to capture and store session keys for use when and where they’re needed.”
