I'd like to know if there is any real world data about the effectiveness of TLS inspection in preventing harm. It's empirically a massive tax on any organisation that engages in any kind of software engineering or technical work. I estimate that something like 3% of all our engineering effort goes to working around the TLS inspection which breaks security on literally every piece of infrastructure we build. And it embeds all the harm that the article alludes to (and more). So it takes quite a significant balance of upside to counteract that.
So is the benefit worth it? Is there data to prove it? Or is it just authoritarian IT departments drunk on power implementing this stuff?
I'd love to know.
