Fortinet FCP_FCT_AD-7.2 FCP-FortiClient EMS 7.2 Administrator Exam Practice Test

Requirement:

The administrator needs to add an authentication server on FortiClient EMS in a different security zone that cannot allow a direct connection.

Solution Analysis:

The goal is to securely connect FortiClient EMS and the Active Directory server despite being in different security zones.

Evaluating Options:

Installing FortiClient EMS on the same VM as Active Directory (option B) is not practical due to security zone separation.

Configuring a slave FortiClient EMS on a virtual machine (option C) does not address the need for secure communication.

Configuring an Active Directory connector (option D) may not be sufficient without secure routing.

Conclusion:

Deploying a FortiGate device between FortiClient EMS and the Active Directory server ensures secure and controlled access between the two zones.

Connecting FortiClient EMS to FortiGate:

The administrator needs to establish a connection between FortiClient EMS and FortiGate as a fabric connector.

Prerequisites for Connection:

A key prerequisite is the import and verification of the FortiClient EMS tool CA certificate on FortiGate to ensure a trusted connection.

Conclusion:

The correct prerequisite for a successful connection is to import and verify the FortiClient EMS tool CA certificate on FortiGate.

References:

FortiClient EMS and FortiGate connection and certificate management documentation from the study guides.

Based on the CLI output from FortiGate:

The configuration shows the use of "type fortiems," indicating that FortiGate is set up to interact with FortiClient EMS.

The "server" field points to an IP address (10.0.1.200), which is typically the address of the FortiClient EMS server.

The configuration includes an SSL-enabled connection, which is a common setup for secure communication between FortiGate and FortiClient EMS.

Thus, the configuration indicates that FortiGate is set up to pull user groups from FortiClient EMS.

The deployment service error message may be caused by any of the following. Try eliminating them all, one at a time.

1. Wrong username or password in the EMS profile

2. Endpoint is unreachable over the network

3. Task Scheduler service is not running

4. Remote Registry service is not running

5. Windows firewall is blocking connection

Based on the Security Fabric automation settings shown in the exhibit:

The automation stitch is configured with a trigger for a "Compromised Host."

The action specified for this trigger is "Quarantine FortiClient via EMS."

This indicates that when an endpoint is detected as compromised, FortiClient EMS will quarantine the endpoint as part of the automation process.

Therefore, the action taken on compromised endpoints will be to quarantine them through EMS.

FortiClient provides comprehensive endpoint protection for your Windows-based, Mac-based, and Linuxbased desktops, laptops, file servers, and mobile devices such as iOS and Android. It helps you to safeguard your systems with advanced security technologies, all of which you can manage from a single management console.

Understanding ZTNA Rule Configuration:

The ZTNA rule configuration shown in the exhibit defines how traffic is managed and controlled based on specific tags and conditions.

Evaluating Rule Components:

The rule includes security profiles to protect traffic by applying various security checks (A).

The rule also enforces access control by determining which endpoints can access the specified resources based on the ZTNA tag (D).

Eliminating Incorrect Options:

SNAT (Source Network Address Translation) is not mentioned as part of this ZTNA rule.

The rule does not define the access proxy but uses it to enforce access control.

Conclusion:

The correct statements about the ZTNA rule are that it applies security profiles to protect traffic (A) and enforces access control (D).

ZTNA rule configuration documentation from the study guides.

FortiClient EMS is the component that shares ZTNA tag information through Security Fabric integration. ZTNA tags are synchronized from FortiClient EMS as inputs for the FortiGate application gateway. They can be used in ZTNA policies as security posture checks to ensure certain security criteria are met. FortiClient EMS can share ZTNA tags across multiple devices in the Fabric, such as FortiGate, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer. FortiClient EMS can also share ZTNA tags across multiple VDOMs on thesame FortiGate device. FortiClient EMS can be configured to control the ZTNA tag sharing behavior in the Fabric Devices settings1.

FortiGate is the device that enforces ZTNA policies using ZTNA tags. FortiGate can receive ZTNA tags from FortiClient EMS via Fabric Connector. FortiGate can also publish ZTNA services through the ZTNA portal, which allows users to access applications without installing FortiClient. FortiGate can also provide ZTNA inline CASB for SaaS application access control2.

FortiGate Access Proxy is a feature that enables FortiGate to act as a proxy for ZTNA traffic. FortiGate Access Proxy can be deployed in front of the application servers to provide ZTNA protection. FortiGate Access Proxy can also be deployed behind the application servers to provide ZTNA visibility. FortiGate Access Proxy can use ZTNA tags to identify and authenticate users and devices2.

FortiClient is the endpoint software that connects to ZTNA services. FortiClient can register ZTNA tags with FortiClient EMS based on the endpoint security posture. FortiClient can also use ZTNA tags to access ZTNA services published by FortiGate. FortiClient can also use ZTNA tags to access SaaS applications with ZTNA inline CASB2.

Observation of Compliance Profile:

The compliance profile shown in the exhibit includes rules for vulnerability severity level and running process (Calculator.exe).

Evaluating Actions for Compliance:

To make the endpoint compliant, the administrator needs to ensure that the vulnerability severity level is medium or higher is patched (D).

Additionally, the Calculator.exe application must be running on the endpoint (B).

Eliminating Incorrect Options:

Enabling the web filter profile (A) is not related to the compliance rules shown.

Integrating FortiSandbox (C) is not a requirement in the given compliance profile.

Conclusion:

The correct actions are to run the Calculator application on the endpoint (B) and patch applications with vulnerabilities rated as high or above (D).

FortiClient EMS compliance profile configuration documentation from the study guides.

Understanding FortiSandbox Integration:

In a FortiSandbox integration, various remediation options are available for handling suspicious files.

Evaluating Remediation Options:

The remediation option for alerting and notifying without blocking access or waiting for results is essential to understand.

Conclusion:

The correct action for the remediation option in this context is to alert and notify only.

FortiSandbox integration documentation from the study guides.

Observation of ZTNA Traffic Log:

The log message indicates that the remote user connection was denied due to failure to match a proxy policy.

Evaluating Log Message:

The message suggests that the connection does not match the existing ZTNA rule configuration, leading to the denial.

Conclusion:

The correct conclusion from the log message is that the remote user connection does not match the ZTNA rule configuration (B).

Based on the FortiGate Security Fabric settings shown in the exhibits, to successfully quarantine an endpoint when it is detected as a compromised host (IOC), the following step is required:

Enable Remote HTTPS Access to EMS:This setting allows FortiGate to communicate securely with FortiClient EMS over HTTPS. Remote HTTPS access is essential for the quarantine functionality to operate correctly, enabling the EMS server to receive and act upon the quarantine commands from FortiGate.

Therefore, the administrator must enable remote HTTPS access to EMS to allow the quarantine process to function properly.

When FortiClient is installed on a Windows Server, the default behavior for real-time protection control is:

Real-time protection is disabled:By default, FortiClient does not enable real-time protection on server installations to avoid potential performance impacts and because servers typically have different security requirements compared to client endpoints.

Thus, real-time protection is disabled by default on Windows Server installations.
