Operating mode, protocols, and file type support

Operating mode, protocols, and file type support

FortiNDR can operate in both detecting network anomalies as well as malware analysis using ANN. If FortiNDR functionalities are not needed, and you prefer pure file analysis, NDR functionalities can be switched off with the command "execute ndrd {on|off}"

For more information, see the FortiNDR CLI Reference Guide.
