Question 520
A FortiOS 7.6 team examines: A network team wants to inspect eligible file transfers without automatically blocking unrelated TLS sessions. Select TWO complementary choices: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success.
Explanation
Correct Answers
For the observed situation (A network team wants to inspect eligible file transfers without automatically blocking unrelated TLS sessions), the most specific acceptance evidence is: A safe vendor-provided benign malware test artifact is handled according to the policy and generates an expected AV event. It validates the recommended response: Configure a current FortiGate antivirus profile on relevant permitted protocols with the supported inspection mode and appropriate action. This addresses the documented risk: Without applied antivirus inspection or fresh signatures, malicious transferred content may not be detected.
The reported FortiOS 7.6 condition is: A network team wants to inspect eligible file transfers without automatically blocking unrelated TLS sessions. The targeted administrative response is: Configure a current FortiGate antivirus profile on relevant permitted protocols with the supported inspection mode and appropriate action. The relevant failure risk is: Without applied antivirus inspection or fresh signatures, malicious transferred content may not be detected. Validate with: A safe vendor-provided benign malware test artifact is handled according to the policy and generates an expected AV event.
Incorrect Answers
Ips false-positive exception and tuning (3.5) would demonstrate or implement: Globally disabling an IPS category to suppress one suspected false positive can expose unrelated vulnerable services. The case states: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success. The most direct paired action and test is: A safe vendor-provided benign malware test artifact is handled according to the policy and generates an expected AV event.
Application control profile and firewall policy scope (3.3) would demonstrate or implement: The intended clients show the specified application-control decisions while excluded groups remain on their own policies. This choice can be useful for that problem, but it does not establish the Antivirus scanning profiles on permitted flows control being assessed here.
Fortiguard web category filtering (3.2) addresses another technical failure: Without current category intelligence or the right profile association, disallowed websites may still pass. This case instead tests Antivirus scanning profiles on permitted flows; the choice measures or changes another part of the system.
