What is necessary for root CA enrollment in SSL inspection?

To successfully enroll a root Certificate Authority (CA) for SSL inspection, it is essential that all client devices trust the certificates being inspected. When SSL inspection is implemented, the Zscaler service acts as a man-in-the-middle to decrypt and inspect SSL traffic. For this to function properly, the clients must trust the Zscaler root CA certificate. This trust enables the clients to accept the certificates presented by Zscaler when secure connections are established. If clients do not trust the Zscaler certificate, they may receive security warnings or be unable to access secure sites altogether, undermining the purpose of SSL inspection.

While other options touch on related concepts, they don't directly address the crucial requirement for root CA enrollment. Creating a backup of certificates may be prudent as a preventative measure but does not contribute to the necessary enrollment trust. Disabling SSL inspection on mobile devices affects how those devices access secure content but does not facilitate CA enrollment. Configuring a third-party monitoring tool may be relevant for network visibility but does not assist with the necessary trust requirements for SSL inspection.
