Question

Can someone please point me to a general best practices policy setup?

We have bogons, geolocation, tor, a few dictionary policies that are built in to fortinet, etc. about 10 rules in all above an any/any policy. But as my role is beginning to blur with others I want to make sure I have the “go to” policies in place. Talking firewall policies. Of course I have AV/Filter/ETC turned on and configured for the interface as well. But is there a go to policies list for small business?

Hello @urend ,

 

Because each organization has its own unique policies, there is no general policy list created by Fortinet.

 

However, you can review the following best practices document to properly configure your device.

    You can go through this article to understand the FortiGate firewall configuration and design your firewall accordingly.
