Using SSL content scanning and inspection you can apply antivirus scanning, web

filtering, FortiGuard web filtering, email filtering, DLP, and DLP archiving to HTTPS,

IMAPS, POP3S, and SMTPS traffic. To perform SSL content scanning and inspection, the

FortiGate unit does the following:

intercepts and decrypts HTTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, and SMTPS sessions between

clients and servers (FortiGate SSL acceleration speeds up decryption)

applies content inspection to decrypted content, including:

HTTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, and SMTPS Antivirus, DLP, and DLP archiving

HTTPS web filtering and FortiGuard web filtering

IMAPS, POP3S, and SMTPS email filtering

re-encrypts the sessions and forwards them to their destinations.
