Is it possible to encrypt the Collector agent traffic?

I've noticed that the traffic from the collector agent > fortigate (default port 8000) is not encrypted.

 

I can see usernames, device hostnames, ip addresses and groups being sent from the collector agent to the fortigate.

 

Just wondering if there's any way to encrypt this traffic?

No, AFAIK. It is expected that those components are inside core network, already protected by firewalls, network segmentation etc.

You could define a ipsec configuration host-2-host and give that a try.
