The correct answer is B. SSL Decryption is currently being used to inspect the underlying traffic. Persistent timeout issues with Cortex XSIAM Live Terminal, despite firewall rules being open, are often caused by SSL Decryption inspecting the traffic. Live Terminal relies on secure, end-to-end TLS communication, and decryption breaks this channel, leading to session failures.
