Note: A protection profile cannot be deleted (and the Delete icon is not visible) if it is selected in
a firewall policy or included in a user group.
The FortiGate unit comes preconfigured with four protection profiles.
Strict To apply maximum protection to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP traffic.
You may not wish to use the strict protection profile under normal
circumstances but it is available if you have extreme problems with viruses
and require maximum screening.
Scan To apply virus scanning to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP traffic.
Web To apply virus scanning and web content blocking to HTTP traffic. You can
add this protection profile to firewall policies that control HTTP traffic.
Unfiltered To apply no scanning, blocking or IPS. Use the unfiltered content profile 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.
