Cisco Secure Access Help Manage the Access Policy Manage Global Settings for Access Rules Decryption

Decryption

Traffic must be decrypted for effective security control, but you can temporarily disable decryption for troubleshooting purposes.

This setting applies to the following functionality:

  • For internet destinations: Intrusion prevention (IPS) and all traffic to internet application and application protocol destinations.
  • For private resources: Intrusion prevention (IPS), file inspection, and file type blocking

Disabling decryption does not disable affected features, but decreases their effectiveness for encrypted traffic. Traffic that is not encrypted is not affected.

Global settings: Decryption

For information about other decryption settings, see Manage Traffic Decryption.
