Protection profile
Use protection profiles to apply different protection settings for traffic that is controlled
by firewall policies. You can use protection profiles to:
• Configure antivirus protection for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP policies
• Configure web filtering for HTTP policies
• Configure web category filtering for HTTP policies
• Configure spam filtering for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP policies
• Enable IPS for all services
Using protection profiles, you can customize types and levels of protection for different
firewall policies.
For example, while traffic between internal and external addresses might need strict
protection, traffic between trusted internal addresses might need moderate protection.
You can configure policies for different traffic services to use the same or different
protection profiles.
Protection profiles can be added to NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode policies.
