Begin the Fortigate firewall security profiles course with a welcome lecture that outlines the course focus and how security profiles enhance Fortigate network protection.
Configure a FortiGate antivirus profile to detect viruses via signature databases, heuristic and zero-day scanning, and enforce block or monitor actions in a proxy-based policy.
Learn to configure FortiGate web filter profiles to block or warn on categories like social networking and shopping, using actions, content filtering, and category overrides.
Compare web filters and DNS filters, showing how DNS filter blocks access by domain name resolution and configure a profile to block botnets, safe search, and categories.
Learn how Fortigate application control profiles categorize and manage apps by category, apply monitor, block, or quarantine actions, enforce port protocols, and shape bandwidth with traffic shapers.
Configure an intrusion prevention profile (ibis) on FortiGate to detect and block external threats, enable botnet and slowloris signatures, and apply the profile to protect web servers and clients.
Create a dedicated file filter profile to block archive and password-protected files, enable proxy-based inspection, apply it in the internet policy, and review logs for blocked events.
