Threat Feeds

You can use the Fabric > External Connectors pane to create the following types of threat feed connectors:

  • FortiGuard Category Threat Feed
  • IP Address Threat Feed
  • Domain Name Threat Feed
  • Malware Hash Threat Feed

Threat feed connectors dynamically import an external block list. The block list is a text file that contains a list of either addresses or domains and resides on an HTTP server. You use block lists to deny access to source or destination IP addresses in web filter and DNS filter profiles, SSL inspection exemptions, and as sources or destinations in proxy policies.
