Inline Malware Prevention in FortiGate is a proactive security feature designed to detect and block malicious files in real-time as they pass through the network. Unlike traditional signature-based detection, which only identifies known threats, inline malware prevention analyzes files and traffic as they flow through the system, enabling immediate response to suspicious activities. This approach helps prevent malware from infiltrating the network by halting malicious files before they can cause harm.
FortiGate’s inline malware prevention integrates multiple advanced detection techniques, such as file sandboxing, heuristic analysis, and threat intelligence feeds from FortiGuard, Fortinet’s global security service. When a file is detected, it is inspected for malicious behavior, including virus signatures, suspicious code, or unusual patterns. If the file is determined to be harmful, FortiGate blocks it from entering the network, preventing potential breaches or damage.
One of the key advantages of inline malware prevention is its ability to block both known and zero-day threats in real-time, offering a critical layer of defense against evolving cyberattacks. The system also ensures minimal disruption to legitimate network traffic, as it only intervenes when malicious files are identified. By integrating this feature into FortiGate firewalls, organizations can enhance their overall security posture and protect sensitive data from malware infections and other cyber threats.
