Moving from Palo Alto App ID to Fortinet Application Filtering

[Sadhi_Jayz]

Hello Fortinet Community,

My customer is transitioning from a Palo Alto firewall to a new FortiGate 401F, which is configured in policy mode. The existing Palo Alto firewall uses rules based on App-IDs, and the following App-IDs are in use:

(adobe-creative-cloud-base; adobe-update; hp-update; ms-update; ms-update-optimization-p2p; windows-push-notifications; xbox-live)

I've configured the FortiGate firewall with equivalent application filters to match these App-IDs from Palo Alto. My question is: will the application filtering rules on the FortiGate function properly without enabling deep inspection (Note:- existing Palo alto firewall is not using decryption (similar to Fortinet deep inspection )).?

Thanks!

Hello @Sadhi_Jayz ,

If you hover the cursor over the application signature, it will provide you further information and will mention if SSL deep inspection is required.

You can also refer to Fortiguard website for more info regarding the application signature.

For example, Adobe.Creative.Cloud_File.Download signature  requires SSL deep inspection
