Question 540
A FortiOS 7.6 team examines: An administrator proposes disabling all antivirus scanning because one business application downloads unusually large files. Select TWO complementary choices: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success.
Explanation
Correct Answers
The reported FortiOS 7.6 condition is: An administrator proposes disabling all antivirus scanning because one business application downloads unusually large files. The targeted administrative response is: Review FortiGate antivirus logs, detected file type, action and supported quarantine or sandbox response before deciding on an exception. The relevant failure risk is: Disabling antivirus for a broad source population after one false positive weakens protection without evidence. Validate with: A safe test produces the expected detection record while a documented legitimate file exception remains narrowly scoped.
For the observed situation (An administrator proposes disabling all antivirus scanning because one business application downloads unusually large files), the most specific acceptance evidence is: A safe test produces the expected detection record while a documented legitimate file exception remains narrowly scoped. It validates the recommended response: Review FortiGate antivirus logs, detected file type, action and supported quarantine or sandbox response before deciding on an exception. This addresses the documented risk: Disabling antivirus for a broad source population after one false positive weakens protection without evidence.
Incorrect Answers
Web filtering with certificate-only visibility (3.2) addresses another technical failure: Encrypted HTTPS paths or page content cannot always be evaluated when only un-decrypted certificate information is visible. This choice can be useful for that problem, but it does not establish the Antivirus event investigation and quarantine controls control being assessed here.
Certificate inspection visibility versus decrypted inspection (3.1) would demonstrate or implement: An approved TLS test demonstrates the expected certificate metadata visibility or controlled payload inspection as configured. This case instead tests Antivirus event investigation and quarantine controls; the choice measures or changes another part of the system.
Static url filtering and rule precedence (3.2) would demonstrate or implement: A broad URL wildcard or wrongly ordered exception can allow unrelated destinations or block required ones. The paired-answer requirement concerns Antivirus event investigation and quarantine controls; this alternative does not provide the matching intervention and separate acceptance evidence.
