Purpose: Configure anti-malware profiles to bolster your gateway security against emerging threats.

Location: Policies > SECURITY PROFILES > Security Profiles > Anti-Malware

  1. Optionally enable the security profile.
  2. Optionally enable cloud scanning.

    Enabling cloud scan redirects certain traffic to the Trend Micro protected cloud for further analysis and other traffic on-premises. Disabling cloud scan directs all traffic on-premises.

    Cloud Scan redirects IPv4 traffic to the Web Cloud Scan server for malware analysis. The conventional anti-malware scanner scans IPv6 traffic.

  3. Optionally enable Smart Scan. The conventional anti-malware scanner scans any traffic that Smart Scan cannot scan. Cloud Edge uses conventional scanning if Smart Scan is disabled.
  4. Optionally enable Predictive Machine Learning.

    If both Smart Scan and Predictive Machine learning are enabled, web traffic will be scanned only by Predictive Machine Learning; the Smart Scan function is ignored.

  5. Configure file extensions that bypass scanning.

      URLs ending with listed file extensions are allowed without malware scanning.

    • Blocked file extension

      URLs ending with selected file extensions are blocked without scanning.
