How to Block weak ciphers?

Can PA be used block weak ciphers at zone or server level?

@BPry What if decryption is not enabled or is not an option.

@raji_toor,

If you aren't utilizing Decryption then I believe your only option is going to be through a Vulnerability Protection profile and the only Threat that deals with weak ciphers is ID 38924 'SSL Version 2 Weak RSA Cipher Detected' which you could modify from the default of 'alert' and change it to reset if you'd like. 

@raji_toor This can also be done with custom signatures.  I created one recently for a customer who wanted to block connections using "sha1WithRSAEncryption"

If you're interested in pursuing the custom signature option, head over to the Custom Signatures discussion area.
