Configure an Antivirus Profile (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.
- Go to .Add a 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 Actions tab, specify the decoder action for each protocol.You can set independent actions for WildFire signatures, antivirus signatures, and WildFire Inline Machine Learning.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.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.(Optional) Add Application Exceptions to override the default antivirus action for specific applications.(Optional) Add signature exceptions on the Signature Exceptions tab to exclude specific signatures from enforcement.(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.Select OK to save your configuration.
