    eMail filter does not use signatures AFAIK.

    Web filter is updated automatically every couple of minutes.

    Could you please re-phrase what your question is - whether the FGT will update the AV signatures automatically?

    In the web GUI, go to System > Config > Fortiguard.

    Open "AV & IPS Download Options".

    Check "Allow Push Update".

    Check "Scheduled Update", "Every...3 hours" (adjust to your liking).

     

    Now the Fortigate will fetch signature updates every 3 hours. In addition, as soon as new signatures are available from Fortiguard, a signal will be sent to the FGT to update immediately.

    Hi ,

     

    I have the same configurations as you suggested, but still AV/IPS's Definitions and Engines are two year or 3 years Old.

     

    How to keep my definitions and engines up to date. Have checked the availability under PORT Selection, nothing happened.

     

    Kindly help me on this.

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Sridhar S
