Description

Decryption policies are used to create groups of rules that define which traffic should be decrypted based on match criteria such as source IPs and destination IPs. Each decryption policy could have its own match criteria, along with an associated action. The actions are defined by action profiles.

BEHAVIOR

Decryption rules are applied in order of priority (rule order). The rules are created at a certain priority, without any rule auto-priority. All rules are created manually, with no system or default rules available.
