Configure an Antivirus Profile (Strata Cloud Manager)
Scan for a wide variety of malware in executables, PDF files, HTML and JavaScript
malware, including support for scanning inside compressed files and data encoding
schemes.
Configure options to have your configuration scan for malware on the defined traffic.
Set the applications that should be inspected for malware and the action to take
when malware is detected. The default profile inspects all of the listed protocol
decoders for malware, generates alerts for Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP),
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), and Post Office Protocol Version 3 (POP3),
and takes the default action for other applications (alert or deny), depending on
the type of malware detected. The profile will then be attached to a Security rule to determine the traffic traversing specific zones that will be inspected.
Customized profiles can be used to minimize antivirus inspection for traffic between
trusted security zones, and to maximize the inspection of traffic received from
untrusted zones, such as the internet, as well as the traffic sent to highly
sensitive destinations, such as server farms.
- Go to .Add Profile.Give your profile a Name that tells other administrators what it does.Give a Description of the purpose of this profile for easy reference and reuse later.On the Enforcement Actions panel, specify the decoder action for each protocol.The actions for each protocol will be common for WildFire signatures, antivirus signatures, and WildFire Inline Machine Learning.Select the checkbox for Packet Capture if you want to take packet captures (pcaps) of traffic that traverses your configuration.You can then use the captured data for troubleshooting purposes or creating custom application signatures.(Optional) Add Exceptions on the Advanced Settings tab:
- Add Signature Exceptions to exclude specific signatures from enforcement.
- Add File Exceptions to exclude files from WildFire Inline ML, based on a partial hash.
- Add Application Exceptions to override the default WildFire/Antivirus action for specific applications.
(Optional) On the WildFire Inline Machine Learning Models tab, set the action for each model.Save your configuration.An Antivirus profile is only active when it’s included in a profile group that a Security policy rule references. Follow the steps to activate an Antivirus profile (and any Security profile).
