Block "Botnet and Control & Command Servers" on Fortigate

Are you making same "big" mistake in Fortigate firewall configuration?  Are you blocking "Botnet & C&C Servers"? He (My friend, Security Implementation Engineer) is unaware or ignoring about configuration changes onward Forti OS 5.4. This is called "Scan Outgoing Connections to Botnet Sites".  Previously it was (5.2)  "Detect Connections to Botnet C&C Servers" in Security Profiles -> AntiVirus. but today this is available "Scan Outgoing Connections to Botnet Sites"  in Network->Interfaces->Edit Interface (WAN).  #securities #Fortigate #fortinet #securityawareness #DoYouKnow
