Anti-malware profiles protect against emerging security
threats. This profile can be used by all policies to provide protection from malware
and to
stop other threats to your networks. Once the Global Anti-Malware security profile
is enabled
in a policy, network-connection scans ensure web-based content is malware free.
Anti-malware profiles identify which applications are inspected for malware
and the action taken when malware is detected. The default profile inspects all of
the listed
protocol decoders for malware and takes the action determined by the policy, depending
on the
type of malware detected.
You can optionally enable Smart Scan for enhanced malware scanning. Smart Scan is
a next-generation, cloud-based protection solution. At the core of this solution is
an
advanced scanning architecture that leverages the Smart Scan server to perform threat
scanning
of IPv4 and IPv6 traffic using signatures that are stored in the cloud. Conventional
on-box
scanning is used when Smart Scan is not enabled or if Smart Scan cannot scan an object.
Enabling Smart Scan has performance benefits and enhances security since Smart
Scan server patterns are updated frequently.

Starting with Cloud Edge 6.0 SP1, you can
enable Predictive Machine Learning scans, which provide advanced scanning, for web
traffic.
If both Smart Scan and Predictive Machine learning are enabled, web traffic will be
scanned
by Smart Scan first and then by Predictive Machine Learning. Priority: Smart Scan
