Getting started with anti-malware scanning

Anti-malware scanning checks files against an anti-malware database to find harmful content, such as viruses. If the scanner detects infected files, it strips them out.

The anti-malware scanner can inspect IPv4 traffic. The supported protocols in anti-malware inspection are FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP.

Anti-malware is supported on all Single and Clustered Secure SD-WAN Engines and Virtual Engines (configured on the Master Engine).

Because the data being inspected is not synchronized between the nodes, connections that are undergoing anti-malware scanning at the time of a failover are dropped. The applications must reopen the connections.
