File filter and viewing documents

I have a configured File Filter, logs go to Forti Analyzer. For example, I have a monitor for PDF files, I see which documents are sent and received by users according to my rule. But in the case when an incident occurs (conditional data leak) how would I be able to check which user sent document X? Most of all I am interested in viewing the documents that FortiGate has recorded (Yes, I see that someone has sent a document, but I don't know what is inside, I can't look at it). How can this be solved?

Hi,

 

I understand that you want to read the document which is logged by your FGT file filter.

 

While the FortiGate firewall can record that a document was sent, it does not store the content of the document itself. To view the content of the document, you may need to rely on other security measures such as Data Loss Prevention solutions, email archiving systems, or endpoint security solutions that provide document inspection capabilities.

 

You may reach out to your regional sales team who might be able to guide you based on your requirement.

 

BR,
Manosh
