Factory default content profiles

You can use content profiles to apply different protection settings for content traffic
that is controlled by firewall policies. You can use content profiles for:

• Antivirus protection of HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP network traffic
• Web content filtering for HTTP network traffic
• Email filtering for IMAP and POP3 network traffic
• Oversized file and email blocking for HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, and IMAP network

traffic

• Passing fragmented emails in IMAP, POP3, and SMTP email traffic

Using content profiles, you can build protection configurations that can be applied to
different types of firewall policies. This allows you to 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
content profiles.

Content profiles can be added to NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode policies.

Strict content profile

Use the strict content profile to apply maximum content protection to HTTP, FTP,
IMAP, POP3, and SMTP content traffic. You do not need to use the strict content
profile under normal circumstances, but it is available if you have extreme problems
with viruses and require maximum content screening protection.

Scan content profile

Use the scan content profile to apply antivirus scanning to HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3,
and SMTP content traffic.
