How to prevent a corporate firewall slowing down my SaaS product

We picked up a big shiny customer that is big on security. They are 50,000+ employees so we can’t even get close to the IT dept where decisions get made.

Each company device/laptop has a root certificate installed that allows this company to intercept and scan all SSL traffic for threats.

The problem is this firewall seems to take forever to scan JSON blobs - adding 30 seconds to some page requests. This makes our software painful to use.

Is there any way we can force our software to break if it isn’t a known root cert? Any other way we might fool this firewall so it doesn’t break our app performance?
