Question 480
A FortiOS 7.6 team examines: A security analyst wants to block one unauthorized remote-control application without denying every TLS session. Select TWO complementary choices: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success.
Explanation
Correct Answers
For the observed situation (A security analyst wants to block one unauthorized remote-control application without denying every TLS session), the most specific acceptance evidence is: An authorized application test appears under the correct signature and permitted or blocked action in logs. It validates the recommended response: Attach a supported application-control profile with current signatures and suitable actions to the intended policy. This addresses the documented risk: A generic port allow does not distinguish approved from prohibited applications sharing encrypted or common ports.
The reported FortiOS 7.6 condition is: A security analyst wants to block one unauthorized remote-control application without denying every TLS session. The targeted administrative response is: Attach a supported application-control profile with current signatures and suitable actions to the intended policy. The relevant failure risk is: A generic port allow does not distinguish approved from prohibited applications sharing encrypted or common ports. Validate with: An authorized application test appears under the correct signature and permitted or blocked action in logs.

Inbound protected ssl server certificate handling (3.1) addresses another technical failure: An appliance lacking the proper protected-server certificate cannot safely present the intended server identity during inspection. The case states: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success. The most direct paired action and test is: An authorized application test appears under the correct signature and permitted or blocked action in logs.
Web-filter authentication and policy mismatch diagnosis (3.2) would demonstrate or implement: Web-filter and traffic events identify which identity, category and policy produced the blocked or allowed result. This case instead tests Application control signature matching; the choice measures or changes another part of the system.
Flow versus proxy antivirus scan behavior (3.4) would demonstrate or implement: Using an incompatible inspection path can disable desired scan behavior or cause unnecessary disruption to large transfers. The required paired action and test concerns Application control signature matching; a passing result for this alternative could leave that requirement unresolved.
