Is decryption port mirroring available on VM-Series for public cloud platforms?

Decryption port mirroring is not available on VM-Series firewalls for public cloud platforms. The VM-Series is designed to provide strong security features, but certain advanced functionalities, such as decrypting mirrored traffic, come with limitations in public cloud environments. These limitations are due to the nature of how virtualized and cloud-based architectures operate, as well as the performance considerations associated with processing encrypted traffic at scale.

In cloud environments, VM-Series firewalls may rely on different methods for traffic inspection and policy enforcement, such as ingress and egress filtering. While features for visibility and logging, such as traffic log mirroring, are supported, the specific capability of decrypting mirrored traffic across all public cloud platforms is not part of the offering.

This approach ensures that security measures are efficient and do not impose additional overhead or complexity that could degrade performance or introduce vulnerabilities. Therefore, the correct understanding of this limitation aligns with the answer that decryption port mirroring is not available.
