Factory default protection profiles

Use protection profiles to apply different protection settings for traffic controlled by firewall policies. You can use protection profiles to:

configure antivirus protection for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies

configure Web filtering for HTTP firewall policies

configure Web category filtering for HTTP firewall policies

configure spam filtering for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies

enable the Intrusion Protection System (IPS) for all services

enable content logging for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies

By using protection profiles, you can build protection configurations that can be applied to different types of firewall policies. This allows you to customize types and levels of protection for different firewall policies.

For example, while traffic between internal and external addresses might need strict protection, traffic between trusted internal addresses might need moderate protection. You can configure firewall policies for different traffic services to use the same or different protection profiles.

Protection profiles can be added to NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode firewall policies. The FortiWiFi unit comes preconfigured with four protection profiles.

Strict

To apply maximum protection to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP

 

traffic. You may not use the strict protection profile under normal

 

circumstances but it is available if you have problems with viruses and

 

require maximum screening.

Scan

To apply antivirus scanning and file quarantining to HTTP, FTP, IMAP,

 

POP3, and SMTP content traffic.

Web

To apply antivirus scanning and web content blocking to HTTP content

 

traffic. Add this protection profile to firewall policies that control HTTP

 

traffic.

Unfiltered

To apply no scanning, blocking or IPS. Use if you do not want to apply

 

content protection to content traffic. You can add this protection profile to

 

firewall policies for connections between highly trusted or highly secure

 

networks where content does not need to be protected.
