350-701 Content Security Practice Question
A Cisco WSA administrator needs to implement HTTPS inspection for traffic from internal users. The administrator wants to avoid decrypting traffic to financial and healthcare sites due to compliance requirements. Which THREE actions should the administrator take to configure this policy?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a decryption policy with action 'Decrypt' for all traffic
To selectively decrypt, the administrator should create a decryption policy that decrypts all traffic, then use URL category exceptions to bypass decryption for finance and health categories. Alternatively, create a policy that explicitly decrypts all else and uses bypass rules. The three actions: create a decryption policy with action 'Decrypt', add bypass rules for the specified categories, and ensure CA certificate is deployed.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure the proxy in explicit mode
Why it's wrong here
HTTPS inspection works in both modes; not a required action.
- ✓
Create a decryption policy with action 'Decrypt' for all traffic
Why this is correct
This enables decryption by default.
- ✓
Install the WSA's CA certificate on all client devices
Why this is correct
Installing the WSA’s CA certificate on all client devices establishes trust in the WSA’s generated certificates, enabling the transparent decryption and re-encryption of HTTPS traffic. This satisfies the requirement to inspect internal user traffic while allowing the administrator to apply a bypass rule for financial and healthcare sites, thus avoiding decryption of those compliant destinations.
- ✗
Enable AMP file scanning for decrypted traffic
Why it's wrong here
AMP scanning is optional but not required for HTTPS inspection configuration.
- ✓
Add a bypass rule for the URL categories 'Finance' and 'Health'
Why this is correct
Bypass rules prevent decryption of those categories.
