Cloud Anti-Virus

Cloud Anti-Virus (Cloud AV) is an advanced feature of Wireless Network Manager. This cloud-based anti-virus service provides real-time file virus scanning and reporting without consuming local computing resources. Multi-Engine Cloud AV is supported on the SonicWave appliance. Once you have created Cloud AV security policies, you can add them to an SSID group by following the steps in Applying a Security Policy to an SSID Group.

To create a new Cloud AV policy

1. Navigate to Security > Security Policies.
2. Click Add +. The first Add New Security Policy displays.
3. In the Name field, enter the name of the security policy you want to add.
4. From the Type list, select Cloud-AV Security Policy.
5. Click Next. The Advanced Page displays. Select the required options, as required. These include General, File Types, Protocols, and MD5 Exclusion List.
6. Click Next to go to the Customize Block Page.
7. Specify the required options in the Customize Block page.
8. Select the desired options and click Save.
