Adding firewall policies

FortiGate-800 Installation and Configuration Guide
Add content profiles to policies to apply antivirus protection, web filtering, and email
filtering to web, file transfer, and email services. The FortiGate unit includes the
following default content profiles:
• Strict—to apply maximum content protection to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and
SMTP content traffic.
• Scan—to apply antivirus scanning to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP content
traffic.
• Web—to apply antivirus scanning and Web content blocking to HTTP content
traffic.
• Unfiltered—to allow oversized files to pass through the FortiGate unit without
scanned for viruses.
The default policy includes the scan content profile.
For more information about content profiles, see
Add Firewall policies to control connections and traffic between FortiGate interfaces,
zones, and VLAN subinterfaces.
