Application control
Application control uses IPS signatures to limit the use of instant messaging and peer-to-peer applications which can lead to possible infections on a student’s PC. FortiOS includes a number of pre-defined application categories. To configure and maintain application control profiles in the web-based manager, go to UTM Security Profiles > Application Control > Application Sensor. In the CLI use commands under config application list.
Some applications to consider include proxies, botnets, toolbars and P2P applications.
