What issue arises when remote users can download files despite having an antivirus profile applied?

When remote users are able to download files despite an antivirus profile being applied, it suggests that there may be an issue with the configuration on FortiSASE that is preventing effective traffic blocking. The antivirus profile is meant to detect and mitigate threats from harmful files; however, if the FortiSASE configuration is not set properly or lacks the necessary rules to enforce blocking actions, it won't function as intended. This could allow users to bypass the intended protections, exposing the network to potential threats.

An outdated antivirus profile would indicate that it could not recognize the latest threats, but it does not explain why users are able to download files at all. Circumventing security policies implies user action to bypass protections, which may not necessarily be the case here – the configuration itself might simply not be enforcing those policies effectively. Lastly, while network performance can impact overall operations, it does not directly address the issue of files being downloaded despite antivirus protections being in place; the root cause is primarily about the effectiveness of the traffic blocking configuration on FortiSASE.
