MMS virus scanning

MMS logging options

You can enable logging in an MMS protection profile to write event log messages when the MMS protection profile options that you have enabled perform an action. For example, if you enable MMS antivirus protection, you could also use the MMS protection profile logging options to write an event log message every time a virus is detected.

To record these log messages you must first configure how the FortiOS Carrier unit stores log messages.

To configure MMS content archiving, go to Security Profiles > MMS Profile. Select Create New or select the Edit icon beside an existing profile. Expand MMS Bulk AntiSpam Detection > Logging. Complete the fields as described in the following table and select OK. For more a detailed list of options, see Logging.

SNMP

A simple SNMP trap will be generated to inform the operators’ alerting system that a virus has been detected. This SNMP trap could contain the sending and receiving MSISDN, however the initial solution would reflect the current behavior, i.e. only the fact that a virus has been detected will be communicated.
