Question 420
A FortiOS 7.6 team examines: A business team needs an explicit decision about thorough inspection versus latency and capacity. Select TWO complementary choices: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success.
Explanation
Correct Answers
For the observed situation (A business team needs an explicit decision about thorough inspection versus latency and capacity), the most specific acceptance evidence is: Policy readback and representative traffic show supported features are active with measured acceptable resource impact. It validates the recommended response: Select FortiOS flow-based or proxy-based inspection mode according to supported security features and performance requirements for the policy. This addresses the documented risk: Assuming proxy-only functions are present in flow mode can leave desired inspection capabilities unavailable.
The reported FortiOS 7.6 condition is: A business team needs an explicit decision about thorough inspection versus latency and capacity. The targeted administrative response is: Select FortiOS flow-based or proxy-based inspection mode according to supported security features and performance requirements for the policy. The relevant failure risk is: Assuming proxy-only functions are present in flow mode can leave desired inspection capabilities unavailable. Validate with: Policy readback and representative traffic show supported features are active with measured acceptable resource impact.
Incorrect Answers
Certificate-chain expiry and handshake diagnosis (3.1) would demonstrate or implement: A test of the target site completes with a validated chain or produces a correctly identified and bounded exception decision. This choice can be useful for that problem, but it does not establish the Flow versus proxy inspection processing model control being assessed here.
Antivirus event investigation and quarantine controls (3.4) would demonstrate or implement: Disabling antivirus for a broad source population after one false positive weakens protection without evidence. The required paired action and test concerns Flow versus proxy inspection processing model; a passing result for this alternative could leave that requirement unresolved.
Antivirus inspection of encrypted downloads (3.4) addresses another technical failure: Certificate-only inspection cannot reveal arbitrary malicious file bytes encrypted within a TLS application payload. The paired-answer requirement concerns Flow versus proxy inspection processing model; this alternative does not provide the matching intervention and separate acceptance evidence.
