Security Awareness Post (Advanced Version):

SSL Inspection is an essential security feature, but without proper planning it can negatively impact performance and user experience.

In enterprise environments, I’ve observed that blindly enabling SSL inspection for all traffic often leads to slow access, application breakage, and user complaints—especially for banking, government, and cloud-based services.

Recommended best practices on Sangfor NGAF:
• Create SSL inspection exception policies for trusted and sensitive websites
• Avoid global inspection; apply SSL policies per zone, user group, or application
• Monitor SSL inspection logs and CPU utilization before enforcing strict rules
• Keep certificate trust chains updated to avoid browser warnings
• Combine SSL inspection with application control instead of relying on SSL alone

A well-balanced SSL inspection strategy improves visibility without sacrificing performance or user trust.
