Factory default content profiles

You can use content profiles to apply different protection settings for content traffic

that is controlled by firewall policies. You can use content profiles for:

• Antivirus protection of HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP network traffic

• Web content filtering for HTTP network traffic

• Email filtering for IMAP and POP3 network traffic

• Oversized file and email blocking for HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, and IMAP network

traffic

• Passing fragmented emails in IMAP, POP3, and SMTP email traffic

Using content 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 policies for different traffic services to use the same or different

content profiles.

Content profiles can be added to NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode policies.

Strict content profile

Use the strict content profile to apply maximum content protection to HTTP, FTP,

IMAP, POP3, and SMTP content traffic. You do not need to use the strict content

profile under normal circumstances, but it is available if you have extreme problems

with viruses and require maximum content screening protection.

 Authentication Authentication is not selected. Users do not have to

authenticate with the firewall before connecting to

their destination address. You can configure user

groups and select this option to require users to

authenticate with the firewall before they can

connect through the firewall.

; Antivirus & Web Filter Antivirus & Web Filter is selected.

Content

Profile

Scan The scan content profile is selected. The policy

scans all HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP

traffic for viruses. See “Scan content profile” on

page 34 for more information about the scan

content profile. You can select one of the other

content profiles to apply different levels of content

protection to traffic processed by this policy.

 Log Traffic Log Traffic is not selected. This policy does not

record messages to the traffic log for the traffic

processed by this policy. You can configure

FortiGate logging and select Log Traffic to record all

connections through the firewall that are accepted

by this policy.
