Hello.

I know that SSL decryption rule has using the category of URL filter (that brightcloud supported).

I wonder about URL filter license must be needed when using SSL decryption rule.

Thanks.

Regards.

Hi,

URL Filtering license is not mandatory for using SSL-D.

Without URL filtering license you can't do category based inspection but you can work by destination, leaving any as Category.

You're still able to use custom categories

That's right!

Using Bright Cloud Category would be more useful but if you want Bright Cloud you have to buy his license! 🙂

Bye and have a good day!
