Question 460
At Brookside Manufacturing, the plant network defense team administers FortiGate-based protection for industrial office networks and protected production systems under requirements for controlled inspection and limited access to process hosts. Following the approved change, the team must validate: A FortiGate web filter set to certificate inspection cannot distinguish two URL paths on the same encrypted hostname. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Controlled requests to two paths on the same hostname receive different intended decisions while valid TLS trust remains intact. This outcome validates the intended correction for: A FortiGate web filter set to certificate inspection cannot distinguish two URL paths on the same encrypted hostname. The associated approved corrective action is: Use full SSL inspection for managed endpoints when the policy requires path-aware HTTPS filtering rather than just domain classification. The Brookside Manufacturing reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.
Incorrect Answers
A safe test submission reaches the intended sandbox service and its verdict can be correlated with the firewall antivirus event. This would verify a separate corrective action: Configure the supported FortiSandbox or appropriate cloud sandbox integration and required submission path for eligible files. That separate change addresses: A FortiGate malware investigation expects remote sandbox verdicts but the approved sandbox connection is not configured or reachable. It does not validate the current Brookside Manufacturing issue: A FortiGate web filter set to certificate inspection cannot distinguish two URL paths on the same encrypted hostname. The relevant acceptance evidence is: Controlled requests to two paths on the same hostname receive different intended decisions while valid TLS trust remains intact.
The controlled transfer logs an antivirus profile match and no alternative broad allow rule bypasses inspection. This would verify a separate corrective action: Reorder or consolidate the firewall policies so the intended file-transfer flow matches a policy with the required antivirus profile. That separate change addresses: FortiGate antivirus is configured for a particular file transfer protocol but a new rule sends that traffic through an uninspected policy. It does not validate the current Brookside Manufacturing issue: A FortiGate web filter set to certificate inspection cannot distinguish two URL paths on the same encrypted hostname. The relevant acceptance evidence is: Controlled requests to two paths on the same hostname receive different intended decisions while valid TLS trust remains intact.
A controlled traffic sample is identified by its application signature and blocked while unrelated traffic on the port stays permitted. This would verify a separate corrective action: Attach an appropriate FortiGate application-control sensor with a supported signature action for the prohibited application. That separate change addresses: A corporate application uses a prohibited remote-control protocol on an allowed TCP port and ordinary service-based firewall policies do not identify it. It does not validate the current Brookside Manufacturing issue: A FortiGate web filter set to certificate inspection cannot distinguish two URL paths on the same encrypted hostname. The relevant acceptance evidence is: Controlled requests to two paths on the same hostname receive different intended decisions while valid TLS trust remains intact.
