Fortinet FCP_WCS_AD-7.4 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 3

AWS GuardDuty Integration:

AWS GuardDuty is a threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior to protect AWS accounts and workloads. It can generate findings that can be used to create or update firewall rules automatically in FortiGate to enhance security and provide timely protection (Option D).

Integration with FortiGate:

GuardDuty findings can be integrated with FortiGate using automation tools and scripts to create firewall rules dynamically, thereby accelerating the time-to-protection against emerging threats.

Other Options Analysis:

Option A (AWS Firewall Manager) is more suited for managing rules across multiple accounts but not for dynamic threat response.

Option B (AWS Network ACL) provides stateless filtering but does not offer automated rule creation.

Option C (SDN Connector for AWS) helps in integrating SDN capabilities but is not specifically focused on threat-based rule automation.

ENI Attachment Across Availability Zones:

Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) are associated with a specific Availability Zone. They cannot be attached to instances that are in a different Availability Zone than where the ENI was created. Therefore, an ENI created in Availability Zone 1 cannot be attached to an instance in Availability Zone 2 (Option A).

ENI Reattachment:

ENIs can be detached from one instance and reattached to another instance within the same Availability Zone. This flexibility allows for network interface configuration to be preserved across instance changes within the same AZ.

Other Options Analysis:

Option B is incorrect because an ENI can be reattached to any instance in the same AZ.

Option C is incorrect as the primary ENI (eth0) cannot be detached from an instance.

Option D is incorrect because when an ENI is moved, the traffic is directed to the new instance, and there is no redirection to the old instance.

Cluster Elastic IP Address (EIP) Movement:

During a failover in an active-passive (A-P) cluster, the Elastic IP (EIP) associated with the active FortiGate instance (FGT-1) needs to be moved to the passive instance (FGT-2), which becomes the new active instance. This ensures that the traffic directed to the EIP is now handled by FGT-2 (Option A).

Secondary IP Address Movement:

The secondary IP address on Port2 of the current active instance (FGT-1) is moved to the same port on the new active instance (FGT-2). This step is crucial to ensure seamless network traffic redirection and connectivity for the services relying on that IP address (Option B).

Other Options Analysis:

Option C is incorrect because the static route modification mentioned is not directly related to the failover process described.

Option D is incorrect because no additional route needs to be added to the HA Sync AZ2 subnet route table to forward traffic to the Internet Gateway during a failover.

DNS Configuration:

For FortiWeb Cloud to effectively protect web applications, the DNS records for the application servers must be configured to point to FortiWeb Cloud. This ensures that all incoming traffic is routed through FortiWeb Cloud for inspection and protection (Option A).

Traffic Filtering:

FortiWeb Cloud provides robust protection by filtering incoming traffic to block the OWASP Top 10 attacks, zero-day threats, and other application layer attacks. This ensures the security and integrity of the web applications it protects (Option B).

Other Options Analysis:

Option C is incorrect because FortiWeb Cloud can protect application servers across different VPCs or regions, not just within the same VPC.

Option D is incorrect because step 2 does not require an AWS S3 bucket; it refers to the inspection and filtering of incoming traffic.

DNS Configuration for Web Applications: DNS Configuration

VPC-Scoped Protection:

When deploying a FortiWeb VM inside a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), the security and protection it offers are limited to the applications and traffic that pass through that specific VPC. This means that any applications outside this VPC will not benefit from the protection of FortiWeb VM (Option D).

Comparison with FortiWeb Cloud:

FortiWeb Cloud, being a cloud-native WAF-as-a-Service, can protect applications regardless of their VPC location, offering broader and more flexible protection capabilities.

Other Options Analysis:

Option A is incorrect because both FortiWeb VM and FortiWeb Cloud protect against OWASP Top 10 threats.

Option B is incorrect because FortiWeb VM does support zero-day protection.

Option C is incorrect as the performance of FortiWeb VM in applying advanced WAF protection is not inherently slower compared to FortiWeb Cloud.

FortiWeb Overview: FortiWeb

Network Load Balancer:

Deploying a network load balancer ensures that incoming traffic is distributed across multiple web servers, providing high availability and redundancy. This setup helps in managing traffic efficiently and maintaining service uptime even if some servers fail (Option A).

Multiple Availability Zones:

Deploying web servers in multiple availability zones (AZs) enhances fault tolerance and availability. If one AZ goes down, servers in other AZs can continue to handle the traffic, ensuring the web application remains accessible (Option D).

Other Options Analysis:

Option B is incorrect because NAT Gateways are used to provide internet access to instances in private subnets, not to make private addresses reachable from the internet.

Option C is not sufficient on its own for high availability. Adding a route to the default VPC route table forwarding traffic to the internet gateway makes the VPC internet-accessible but does not ensure high availability.

AWS Network Load Balancer: Network Load Balancer

Regional Deployment:

For a global organization with cloud networks in multiple AWS regions, a separate FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (CNF) instance is required for each AWS region to provide localized protection and meet compliance requirements. This ensures that each region has its own dedicated NGFW protection tailored to its specific needs (Option B).

Multi-Account Association:

FortiGate CNF supports associating multiple AWS accounts with a single CNF instance. This feature is beneficial for organizations that operate in a multi-account setup, allowing centralized management and security policies across different accounts (Option C).

Other Options Analysis:

Option A is incorrect because AWS Firewall Manager is a different service and is not required to provision a CNF instance.

Option D is incorrect because a single CNF instance cannot protect multiple AWS regions due to regional isolation in AWS.

AWS Multi-Account Best Practices: AWS Multi-Account

Internet Gateway Requirement:

For an Elastic IP (EIP) to be assigned to an instance's primary ENI, the VPC must have an Internet Gateway (IGW) attached. The IGW enables the VPC to communicate with the internet, allowing the EIP to function properly (Option C).

Process of Assigning EIP:

Once the Internet Gateway is attached to the VPC, the EIP can be successfully assigned to the primary ENI of the FortiGate VM, providing it with internet access.

Other Options Analysis:

Option A is incorrect because the primary ENI is already in a public subnet.

Option B is not necessary and may not solve the issue without an attached Internet Gateway.

Option D is partially correct about the routing table but does not address the primary issue of needing an Internet Gateway.

Scalability:

FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (CNF) is designed to scale seamlessly with your cloud infrastructure, providing the necessary protection without requiring manual intervention for scaling (Option B).

Firewall-as-a-Service:

FortiGate CNF is offered as a Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), which simplifies the deployment and management of firewall capabilities directly in the cloud environment (Option D).

Management:

FortiGate CNF can be managed using FortiManager and AWS Firewall Manager, providing comprehensive management capabilities both from Fortinet's platform and AWS's native management tools (Option E).

Other Considerations:

Option A (carrier-grade protection) is not specifically highlighted as a feature of FortiGate CNF.

Option C (uses AWS Elastic Load Balancing) is incorrect as FortiGate CNF operates independently of AWS ELB, although it can integrate with various AWS services.
