FortiGate Next Generation Firewall utilizes purpose-built security processors and threat intelligence security services from FortiGuard labs to deliver top-rated protection and high performance, including encrypted traffic.
The FortiGate heuristic antivirus engine performs tests on files to detect virus-like behavior or known virus indicators. Heuristic scanning is performed last, after file blocking and virus scanning have found no matches. In this way, heuristic scanning may detect new viruses, but may also produce some false positive results.
To configure heuristic scanning
Connect to the CLI.
Enter the following: config antivirus heuristic set mode {pass|block|disable} end
To configure heuristic settings on models 200 and higher
Connect to the CLI.
Enter the following: config antivirus quarantine set drop_heuristic {ftp http imap pop3 smtp} set store_heuristic {ftp http imap pop3 smtp} end
