Security Features - Fortinet FortiGate 1U Quick Start Manual

Security Features

Security features, including antivirus, web filtering, application control, intrusion
protection (IPS), email filtering, and data leak prevention (DLP), apply core security
functions to the traffic accepted by your FortiGate unit.
Each security feature has a default profile. You can also create custom profiles to
meet the needs of your network. These profiles are then applied to your security
policies and used to monitor and, if necessary, block external and internal traffic that
is considered risky or dangerous.
This section contains the following examples:
Monitoring your network using client reputation
Controlling network access using application controll
Protecting a web server from external attacks
Blocking outgoing traffic containing sensitive data
Blocking large files from entering the network
Blocking access to specific websites
