    PAN-OS & Panorama

    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 the firewall 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.
    1. Go to
      Objects
      Security Profiles
      Antivirus
      .
    2. Add
       a profile.
    3. Give your profile a
      Name
       that tells other administrators what it does.
    4. Give a
      Description
       of the purpose of this profile for easy reference and reuse later.
    5. On the
      Actions
       tab, specify the decoder action for each protocol.
      You can set independent actions for WildFire signatures, antivirus signatures, and WildFire Inline Machine Learning.
    6. Select the checkbox for
      Enable Packet Capture
       if you want to take packet captures (pcap) of traffic that traverses your configuration.
      You can then use the captured data for troubleshooting purposes or creating custom application signatures.
    7. Select the checkbox for Enable Hold Mode for Real-Time Signature Lookup if you want the NGFW to hold the transfer of a sample while the real-time signature cloud performs a signature lookup.
    8. (
      Optional
      ) Add
      Application Exceptions
       to override the default antivirus action for specific applications.
    9. (
      Optional
      ) Add signature exceptions on the
      Signature Exceptions
       tab to exclude specific signatures from enforcement.
    10. (
      Optional
      ) On the
      WildFire Inline ML
       tab, add file exceptions to exclude files from WildFire Inline ML, based on a partial hash, and set actions for each of the available WildFire Inline Machine Learning models.
    11. Select
      OK
       to save your configuration.
