Which aspect of ProxySG can be improved by reducing emulated certificates?

Reducing emulated certificates can significantly enhance CPU performance in a ProxySG environment. Emulated certificates are used during HTTPS interception and decryption processes, where the ProxySG generates certificates on-the-fly to facilitate secure communication. The more certificates that the system must emulate and manage, the higher the computational load on the CPU.

By minimizing the number of emulated certificates, the CPU is relieved from the overhead of generating, managing, and validating these certificates for every HTTPS connection. This reduction allows the CPU to allocate more resources to other critical tasks, leading to improved overall performance. Consequently, the system can handle more simultaneous connections efficiently, resulting in better throughput and responsiveness.

The other options – decryption speed, memory usage, and network latency – are affected indirectly by the CPU performance improvements but are not directly improved by reducing emulated certificates. Therefore, focusing on CPU performance offers the most direct benefit in this context.
