What is your exact question ? Three blades with three different fields of work, see the details for two in Threat Prevention Administration Guide R80.30 :
The Anti-Bot Software Blade uses these procedures to identify bot infected computers:
• Identify the C&C addresses used by criminals to control bots
These web sites are constantly changing and new sites are added on an hourly basis. Bots can attempt to connect to thousands of potentially dangerous sites. It is a challenge to know which sites are legitimate and which are not.
• Identify the communication patterns used by each botnet family
These communication fingerprints are different for each family and can be used to identify a botnet family. Research is done for each botnet family to identify the unique language that it uses. There are thousands of existing different botnet families and new ones are constantly emerging.
• Identify bot behavior
Identify specified actions for a bot such as, when the computer sends spam or participates in DoS attacks.
After the discovery of bot infected machines, the Anti-Bot Software Blade blocks outbound communication to C&C sites based on the Rule Base. This neutralizes the threat and makes sure that no sensitive information is sent out.
The Anti-Virus Software Blade:
• Identifies malware in the organization using the ThreatSpect engine and ThreatCloud repository:
• Prevents malware infections from incoming malicious files types (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, etc.) in real-time. Incoming files are classified on the gateway and the result is then sent to the ThreatCloud repository for comparison against known malicious files, with almost no impact on performance.
• Prevents malware download from the internet by preventing access to sites that are known to be connected to malware. Accessed URLs are checked by the gateway caching mechanisms or sent to the ThreatCloud repository to determine if they are permissible or not. If not, the attempt is stopped before any damage can take place.
• Uses the ThreatCloud repository to receive binary signature updates and query the repository for URL reputation and Anti-Virus classification.
In Security Management Administration Guide R80.30 Application Control and URL Filtering is explained as part of Access Control Policy:
Create and manage the Policy for Application Control and URL Filtering in the Access Control Policy, in the Access Control view of SmartConsole. Application Control and URL Filtering rules define which users can use specified applications and sites from within your organization and what application and site usage is recorded in the logs.
To learn which applications and categories have a high risk, look through the Application Wiki in the Access Tools part of the Security Policies view. Find ideas for applications and categories to include in your Policy.
