FortiGuard
FortiGuard services are comprised of signature packages and querying services that provide content, web security, and device security. The services are delivered through various types of FortiGuard servers that are part of the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN).
FortiGuard service subscriptions can be purchased and registered to your FortiGate unit. The FortiGate must be connected to the Internet in order to automatically connect to the FDN to validate the license and download FDN updates or perform real-time queries.
FortiGuard options are distributed across the following tabs:
