The following table provides the XML tags for antiransomware detection, as well as the descriptions and default values where applicable:
XML tag |
Description |
Default value |
---|---|---|
<enabled> |
Enable antiransomware detection to protect specific files, folders, or file types on your endpoints from unauthorized changes. Boolean value: |
|
<default_action> |
When antiransomware detects suspicious activity, it displays a popup asking the user if they want to terminate the process:
|
|
<bypass_valid_signer> |
Enable FortiClient to exclude a process from the selected antiransomware action if it has a valid signer. Boolean value: |
|
<default_action_timeout> |
Enter the desired timeout value in seconds. |
120 |
<enable_backup> |
Enable FortiClient to restore files that the detected ransomware encrypted after detecting ransomware behavior on the endpoint. Boolean value: |
0 |
<backup_interval> |
Enter the desired backup interval value in hours. FortiClient backs up files in protected folders that were last modified at a time that is longer ago than the backup interval value. The backup only occurs when the files will be modified. |
|
<backup_file_size_limit> |
Enter the desired size limit in MB for ransomware-encrypted files for FortiClient to back up. The size limit refers to the original file size, not the size limit after encryption. |
|
<backup_disk_quota> |
Enter the desired backup disk quota value as a percentage of free disk space. |
|
<use_custom_file_extensions> |
Enable FortiClient to protect a customized list of file extension types. Boolean value: |
|
<custom_extensions> |
Enter the desired file types to protect from suspicious activity, separating each file type with a comma. Do not include the leading dot when entering a file type. For example, to include text files, enter |
|
<protections><folders><folder> |
Enter the desired file directories for FortiClient antiransomware to protect. FortiClient antiransomware protects all content in the selected folders against unauthorized changes. |
