Quarantine
FortiGate with hard disks can be configured to quarantine blocked or infected files.
The quarantined files are removed from the content stream and stored on the
FortiGate hard disk. Users received a message informing them that the removed file
have been quarantined.
On the FortiGate, the names of quarantined files are displayed on the quarantine list.
The list displays status, duplication, and age information for each quarantined file. You
can sort and filter this list based on this criteria. From the list you can also delete or
download files.
