Global Security Overview

What is Global Security?​

Global Security centralizes appliance-wide protections, letting administrators define how invalid certificates are handled, designate pass-through traffic exempt from TLS inspection, and customize web/DNS block pages. It also provides configuration for internal DNS usage, ensuring consistent security behavior across multiple services.

Within Global Security, there are five main pages:

  • Invalid Certificate - This section is for setting access control for invalid SSL/TLS certificates.
  • Pass Through - This section is used to add applications, domains and IP addresses to a pass-through list. This will exclude specific traffic from TLS decryption and inspection policies. This applies to all services except for the Network menu services.
  • Block Page(Web) - This section is used to create the different block pages that will be displayed to users when they are blocked by a rule. Some parts of this feature require knowledge of HTML/CSS in order to create a valid block page.
  • Block Page(DNS) - This is a function that allows the user to set the block page in the event that the DNS is blocked by firewall rule.
  • Internal DNS - Allows the SSE to utilize an internal DNS server
