SSL Policies in Cisco FTD & FMC
🔐 Demystifying SSL Policies in Cisco FTD & FMC – New Video Alert!
SSL inspection is a cornerstone of modern network security—and in my latest video, I unpack the components and configuration settings of SSL policies in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) and Firepower Management Center (FMC).
🎥 This walkthrough covers:
⚙️ SSL Rule Actions – Dive into options like Decrypt - Resign, Decrypt - Known Key, Monitor, and Do Not Decrypt, and understand how they shape traffic inspection and policy control.
🧬 Distinguished Name Objects – Create precise conditions based on certificate Common Name (CN) field.
🛡️ Trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs) – Establish secure outbound inspection using a vetted list of public CAs.
🏠 Internal CAs – Configure your own certificate authority for inbound SSL decryption, enabling deeper analysis of internal traffic.
📥 External Certificates – Import certs from external sources to use them in SSL policy.
💻 To make it real, I walk through each component in a live demo.
This video is ideal for engineers configuring SSL policies or anyone looking to strengthen their certificate handling game within Cisco FMC. Let me know your thoughts, and feel free to share tips or questions from your own experience!
