Content profiles

Add content profiles to policies to apply antivirus protection, web filtering, and email

filtering to web, file transfer, and email services. The FortiGate unit includes the

following default content profiles:

• Strict—to apply maximum content protection to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and

SMTP content traffic.

• Scan—to apply antivirus scanning to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP content

traffic.

• Web—to apply antivirus scanning and Web content blocking to HTTP content

traffic.

• Unfiltered—to allow oversized files to pass through the FortiGate unit without

scanned for viruses.

The default policy includes the scan content profile.

For more information about content profiles, see “Content profiles” on page 218.
