ssh is basically encrypted telnet.

So when you decrypt it then yes you can see what is going inside it.

It is understood that once the we decryption is done we can see whats inside, but i want to block control and allow data is that possible.

Hi there...At this time, the SSH decryption is designed to detect tunneling traffic inside of SSH (port forwarding) and block the tunneling.  Per the 7.0 manual:

 

"With the an SSH Proxy decryption policy enabled, all SSH traffic identified by the policy is decrypted and identified as either regular SSH traffic or as SSH tunneled traffic. SSH tunneled traffic is blocked and restricted according to the profiles configured on the firewall. Traffic is re-encrypted as it exits the firewall."
