Question 50
At Redstone Aviation, the network engineering team administers FortiGate-based protection for approved aviation maintenance and scheduling networks under requirements for separated administrative flows and resilient site VPNs. The security reviewer verifies a claimed fix for: An auditor expects per-session allowed and denied traffic records, but the FortiGate firewall policies do not enable the required traffic logging. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Approved test sessions produce expected policy identifiers and accept or deny records in the centralized log search. This outcome validates the intended correction for: An auditor expects per-session allowed and denied traffic records, but the FortiGate firewall policies do not enable the required traffic logging. The associated approved corrective action is: Enable suitable traffic logging on the relevant policies and send records to the approved supported logging destination. The Redstone Aviation reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.
Incorrect Answers
A lab restore using the saved configuration reproduces intended interface, policy and routing settings without exposing backup credentials. This would verify a separate corrective action: Create and securely store a dated FortiGate configuration backup and document a verified restore path before the change window. That separate change addresses: A scheduled FortiOS change overwrites working settings and the team has no recoverable configuration from before the modification. It does not validate the current Redstone Aviation issue: An auditor expects per-session allowed and denied traffic records, but the FortiGate firewall policies do not enable the required traffic logging. The relevant acceptance evidence is: Approved test sessions produce expected policy identifiers and accept or deny records in the centralized log search.
Cloud flow logs and FortiGate session records show only the intended protected subnets traversing the inspection path. This would verify a separate corrective action: Implement the supported cloud route or service insertion architecture that explicitly directs the selected subnets through FortiGate VM. That separate change addresses: An AWS or Azure deployment assumes a FortiGate VM can intercept every VPC or VNet packet without configuring the cloud provider's next hops. It does not validate the current Redstone Aviation issue: An auditor expects per-session allowed and denied traffic records, but the FortiGate firewall policies do not enable the required traffic logging. The relevant acceptance evidence is: Approved test sessions produce expected policy identifiers and accept or deny records in the centralized log search.
FortiGate diagnostic resolution returns supported service addresses and FortiGuard connectivity succeeds without changing unrelated firewall rules. This would verify a separate corrective action: Configure reliable system DNS resolvers and verify the FortiGate local-out DNS path independently of client forwarding policies. That separate change addresses: A newly deployed FortiGate cannot resolve FortiGuard service names even though it has an otherwise valid internet default route. It does not validate the current Redstone Aviation issue: An auditor expects per-session allowed and denied traffic records, but the FortiGate firewall policies do not enable the required traffic logging. The relevant acceptance evidence is: Approved test sessions produce expected policy identifiers and accept or deny records in the centralized log search.
