When an XSIAM Engine communicates through a forward proxy with SSL inspection, two critical configurations are needed. First, the Engine must be explicitly configured with the proxy's IP address and port so it knows where to send its outbound traffic. Second, and crucially, because SSL inspection involves the proxy decrypting and re-encrypting SSL traffic, the proxy's Root CA certificate (used for re-encryption) must be trusted by the XSIAM Engine. If this certificate isn't in the Engine's trust store, the Engine will reject the proxy's re-encrypted traffic, leading to SSL errors. Furthermore, for some critical XSIAM cloud communication, it's often recommended or required to bypass SSL inspection for XSIAM FQDNs at the proxy, or ensure the proxy uses a trusted certificate for re-encryption to avoid breaking certificate pinning or other security mechanisms employed by XSIAM. Option A is incorrect because SSL inspection absolutely impacts XSIAM communication. Option C is incorrect as XSIAM supports proxy configurations. Option D is incorrect as the proxy needs outbound rules, not inbound from the XSIAM cloud (unless a reverse proxy is also involved, which is a different scenario). Option E is incorrect; manual configuration is typically required for explicit proxy settings.
