How to verify that threat profiles are actually performing

L0 Member

Hello,

 

I currently have one rule, that pertains to one inside and one outside host.  I have a few profiles added to the rule such as a/v, spyware, vulnerability and file blocking.  I dont see any events in the Threat monitor nor my Syslog server so my assumption is all is well, no threats detected?  Is there any other way to confirm the firewall is performing the checks in the profile?

 

Thanks

As long as the traffic is communication across the rule that has your threat profiles applied then it should be filtering. I would search the destination and source address and verify that the traffic is not hitting any other rules first. 

Yes traffic is flowing.  Wish there was some other level of verification regarding the applied threat-profiles

Thanks

There are a few sites out there that will test it for you from the Internet IN.

 

Or go out and find an EICAR - eicar.org
