first time user of application security manager. stupid question.

@WillCole,

 

 

Fun times! So the ASM can only be affective when it can read the traffic. So, if the traffic is being passed through the unit without ever being decrypted, the ASM won't be of much assistance. BUT, if you are using ssl offloading on the F5, that would mean that it decrypts (and possibly re-encrypts if you have a serverssl profile) the traffic. If that is occurring, then the ASM can read the traffic flowing through and provide some measure of protection.

 

 

So for brute force force protection, what version are you running?
