Why each option
FortiGate units can update their virus definitions and other security signatures through push updates from FortiGuard, scheduled updates, or manual administrator-initiated updates.
FortiGuard can push updates directly to the FortiGate unit when new definitions become available, ensuring timely protection.
Administrators can configure scheduled updates, allowing the FortiGate to automatically check for and download new virus definitions from FortiGuard at specified intervals.
A manual update can be initiated by an administrator through the GUI or CLI to immediately download the latest virus definitions from FortiGuard.
FTP update is not a standard or supported method for FortiGate units to receive virus definition updates from FortiGuard, which typically uses HTTPS for secure communication.
