Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable SSL decryption for all SaaS traffic to improve performance.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling decryption prevents the firewall from identifying the application.

Why this is correct
