All the security profiles which are default are  Predefined and are read only as it is by design.

Normally anything which is Predefined is read only and cannot be changed.

 

What you can do is clone the default security profile and modify it according to your needs.

hello herman,

if you only have the default profile for decryption what is about the next vulnerability scan will show still enable 3DES and RC4 even if you clone and disable these cyphers on the cloned profile, but STILL is enable on default profile, right? Do we have another kind of workaround for this SWEET32 vulnerability when you only have the default decryption profile? thanks

Well, How do I stop AIOPS scanning the default profiles and scoring the firewalls as suboptimal? This is a pain since you cannot delete or edit the default profiles.
