Security profiles provide threat protection in Security
Policy. Each Security policy rule can include one or more Security
Profiles. The following are available profile types:
Anti-Spyware profiles to block attempts from spyware on compromised hosts
trying to phone-home or beacon out to external command-and-control
(C2) servers. See Objects
> Security Profiles > Anti-Spyware Profile.
URL filtering profiles to restrict users access to specific
websites and/or website categories, such as shopping or gambling.
See Objects
> Security Profiles > URL Filtering.
Data filtering profiles that help prevent sensitive information
such as credit card or social security numbers from leaving a protected
network. See Objects
> Security Profiles > Data Filtering.
DoS Protection profiles are used with DoS Protection policy
rules to protect the firewall from high-volume single-session and
multiple-session attacks. See Objects
> Security Profiles > DoS Protection.
