4950 - question: How should I handle applications that use certificate pinning?
5051 answer: |
51 − The connection fails if TLS inspection terminates traffic from applications that use certificate pinning. To ensure your applications work as expected, create a custom bypass rule in the traffic forwarding profile to exclude traffic from these applications from Global Secure Access. You can perform this operation as part of custom bypass in the [Internet access forwarding profile](/mem/intune/protect/compliance-custom-script). We're working on custom TLS rules to let you acquire traffic and bypass TLS inspection only.
52 + The connection fails if TLS inspection terminates traffic from applications that use certificate pinning. To ensure your applications work as expected, use a [custom TLS bypass rule](how-to-transport-layer-security.md) to bypass TLS inspection only for these applications.

100101 answer: We use software-protected keys. Global Secure Access intermediate certificate keys are stored in memory to dynamically generate leaf certificates for websites. While these keys aren't protected by an HSM, access to our servers is highly restricted, and we use strict security controls to safeguard key access and system integrity.

102103 - question: What other Global Secure Access features have dependencies on TLS inspection?
103 − answer: Content-based security controls have dependencies on TLS inspection, including URL filtering, Content policies, Prompt policies, and enabling partner security solutions.
