Add IOC detection for local out traffic

Add IOC detection for local out traffic

Indicator of compromise (IOC) detection for local out traffic helps detect any FortiGate locally-generated traffic that is destined for a known compromised location. The FortiGate will generate an event log to warn administrators of an IOC detection. This feature currently only supports IPv4 traffic.

To log IOC detection in local out traffic:
config log setting
    set local-out {enable | disable}
    set local-out-ioc-detection {enable | disable}
end
Tooltip

These settings are both enabled by default. IOC detection is a VDOM-specific feature, so logging must be enabled on each VDOM.

Sample event log:

In the GUI, go to Log & Report > System Events, click the General System Events card, and click the Details tab.
