Explanation

The SSL inspection mode in the firewall policy is set to certificate-inspection, which only examines SSL certificates without decrypting HTTPS traffic. Because of this, FortiGate cannot inspect or block files downloaded over HTTPS, as the content remains encrypted. To enable antivirus scanning on HTTPS traffic, the SSL inspection mode must be set to deep-inspection, allowing the FortiGate to decrypt, inspect, and re-encrypt the traffic.
