This article describes how to fetch malicious threat logs in the FortiGate firewall.
FortiGate.
FortiGate uses advanced threat protection (ATP) to protect organizations from cyberattacks and malware that aim to corrupt or steal sensitive data.
Step 1: Enable ATP widget.
Enable the ATP widget in the GUI to see the real-time logs.
Go to Dashboard -> Status -> Add widget -> ATP.
Step 2:
Once enabled, try to upload or send any malicious file from a PC which is behind the FortiGate firewall.
While attempting to upload the malicious file, the FortiGate firewall will be scanning these files in real-time, and if this is a malicious file, the FortiGate firewall will stop sending this file, and the count will be incremented in the ATP widget as shown above.
These logs can be seen under Log and report -> Security Events -> Antivirus.
The Fortinet Security Fabric brings together the concepts of convergence and consolidation to provide comprehensive cybersecurity protection for all users, devices, and applications and across all network edges.
