Question 610

At Oakridge Public Services, the municipal network protection team administers FortiGate-based protection for citizen services and remote public offices under requirements for restricted data exchange and defensible access policy. Following the approved change, the team must validate: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?

  1. The relevant controlled application event is detected under the proper inspection path without claiming certificate-only visibility into payload bytes.
  2. The approved collaboration flow works while a separate prohibited application in the same category remains blocked.
  3. An approved server with a complete chain passes inspection while a deliberately invalid certificate is still reported and denied.
  4. A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy. This outcome validates the intended correction for: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The associated approved corrective action is: Change the targeted signature action to block in the matching IPS sensor and retain audit logging. The Oakridge Public Services reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The relevant controlled application event is detected under the proper inspection path without claiming certificate-only visibility into payload bytes. This would verify a separate corrective action: Validate the visibility needed by the intended application signature and configure supported deep inspection only for authorized managed endpoints. That separate change addresses: An administrator expects application-control rules to detect a specific command within encrypted HTTPS traffic under certificate-only inspection. It does not validate the current Oakridge Public Services issue: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

B:

The approved collaboration flow works while a separate prohibited application in the same category remains blocked. This would verify a separate corrective action: Create a narrowly scoped application override for the approved signature, users and destinations without disabling the rest of the sensor. That separate change addresses: A help desk creates an unrestricted application-control exception for a single business collaboration app and unintentionally bypasses the whole category. It does not validate the current Oakridge Public Services issue: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

C:

An approved server with a complete chain passes inspection while a deliberately invalid certificate is still reported and denied. This would verify a separate corrective action: Keep upstream certificate validation enabled and remediate the specific trust chain or narrowly authorized exception. That separate change addresses: An administrator changes the SSL inspection profile to disable all certificate validation after encountering one untrusted upstream server. It does not validate the current Oakridge Public Services issue: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

Question 611

At Pinecrest Hotels, the corporate firewall engineering team administers FortiGate-based protection for regional hotels and shared service centers under requirements for controlled remote connectivity and predictable recovery. A scoped security review finds: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. Which corrective action BEST addresses this particular FortiGate administration issue?

  1. Configure the supported FortiSandbox or appropriate cloud sandbox integration and required submission path for eligible files.
  2. Change the targeted signature action to block in the matching IPS sensor and retain audit logging.
  3. Correct the file-type rule or antivirus exception to the specific approved risk without disabling scanning for other transfers.
  4. Use approved deep SSL inspection with endpoint trust for the managed HTTPS traffic that requires antivirus content scanning.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Change the targeted signature action to block in the matching IPS sensor and retain audit logging. This correction directly addresses the specified FortiGate issue: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The Pinecrest Hotels change must be validated rather than treated as successful solely because its settings were saved. The decisive acceptance evidence is: A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Configure the supported FortiSandbox or appropriate cloud sandbox integration and required submission path for eligible files. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A FortiGate malware investigation expects remote sandbox verdicts but the approved sandbox connection is not configured or reachable. It is not a targeted solution for the current Pinecrest Hotels requirement: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The appropriate result to verify here is: A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

C:

Correct the file-type rule or antivirus exception to the specific approved risk without disabling scanning for other transfers. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: The malware policy blocks all files with one archive type after an overly broad filter was added during incident response. It is not a targeted solution for the current Pinecrest Hotels requirement: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The appropriate result to verify here is: A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

D:

Use approved deep SSL inspection with endpoint trust for the managed HTTPS traffic that requires antivirus content scanning. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: HTTPS downloads bypass the intended antivirus inspection because the firewall performs only TLS certificate checks rather than payload decryption. It is not a targeted solution for the current Pinecrest Hotels requirement: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The appropriate result to verify here is: A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

Question 612

At Pinecrest Hotels, the corporate firewall engineering team administers FortiGate-based protection for regional hotels and shared service centers under requirements for controlled remote connectivity and predictable recovery. An independent validation is requested for: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?

  1. The relevant controlled application event is detected under the proper inspection path without claiming certificate-only visibility into payload bytes.
  2. Only the approved test hostname is exempt and a separate lookalike hostname remains subject to its default category action.
  3. A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.
  4. An obsolete-protocol test handshake is rejected and a current supported TLS connection completes under the same policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy. This outcome validates the intended correction for: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The associated approved corrective action is: Change the targeted signature action to block in the matching IPS sensor and retain audit logging. The Pinecrest Hotels reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The relevant controlled application event is detected under the proper inspection path without claiming certificate-only visibility into payload bytes. This would verify a separate corrective action: Validate the visibility needed by the intended application signature and configure supported deep inspection only for authorized managed endpoints. That separate change addresses: An administrator expects application-control rules to detect a specific command within encrypted HTTPS traffic under certificate-only inspection. It does not validate the current Pinecrest Hotels issue: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

B:

Only the approved test hostname is exempt and a separate lookalike hostname remains subject to its default category action. This would verify a separate corrective action: Replace the overly broad wildcard with a precisely scoped domain or URL match supported by the profile. That separate change addresses: A web filter exception lists a hostname pattern so broad that it also matches lookalike or unwanted sibling domains. It does not validate the current Pinecrest Hotels issue: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

D:

An obsolete-protocol test handshake is rejected and a current supported TLS connection completes under the same policy. This would verify a separate corrective action: Apply the suitable TLS protocol security settings and supported inspection profile while documenting the application upgrade path. That separate change addresses: A legacy outbound application uses an obsolete TLS protocol and security policy requires it to be blocked rather than silently bypassed. It does not validate the current Pinecrest Hotels issue: An IPS sensor is set to monitor a high-confidence threat signature but the approved policy requires preventing that traffic. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A safe controlled signature test is denied and the IPS event identifies the selected block action and policy.

Question 613

At Northgate Telecom, the network security operations team administers FortiGate-based protection for a multi-region subscriber service network under requirements for continuous secure intersite connectivity and policy traceability. An authorized change review identifies: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. Which corrective action BEST addresses this particular FortiGate administration issue?

  1. Configure the supported inbound SSL inspection or TLS termination method using the approved certificate and key management process.
  2. Configure appropriate supported antivirus scanning for the permitted mail protocol and matching policy or inspection profile.
  3. Investigate the specific signature and use a narrowly scoped temporary exclusion or action change after risk approval.
  4. Choose a supported full SSL/SSH inspection mode for endpoint-managed traffic when full URL-path controls are required.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Investigate the specific signature and use a narrowly scoped temporary exclusion or action change after risk approval. This correction directly addresses the specified FortiGate issue: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The Northgate Telecom change must be validated rather than treated as successful solely because its settings were saved. The decisive acceptance evidence is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Configure the supported inbound SSL inspection or TLS termination method using the approved certificate and key management process. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: FortiGate inbound deep inspection for a published HTTPS application has no access to a usable certificate and private key for the protected service. It is not a targeted solution for the current Northgate Telecom requirement: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The appropriate result to verify here is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

B:

Configure appropriate supported antivirus scanning for the permitted mail protocol and matching policy or inspection profile. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A mail relay transfers an infected test attachment through a service not covered by the current FortiGate antivirus protocol options. It is not a targeted solution for the current Northgate Telecom requirement: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The appropriate result to verify here is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

D:

Choose a supported full SSL/SSH inspection mode for endpoint-managed traffic when full URL-path controls are required. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A FortiGate HTTPS content filter cannot evaluate a URL path because its policy uses only certificate inspection of encrypted traffic. It is not a targeted solution for the current Northgate Telecom requirement: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The appropriate result to verify here is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

Question 614

At Northgate Telecom, the network security operations team administers FortiGate-based protection for a multi-region subscriber service network under requirements for continuous secure intersite connectivity and policy traceability. The security reviewer verifies a claimed fix for: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?

  1. The controlled transfer logs an antivirus profile match and no alternative broad allow rule bypasses inspection.
  2. A fresh session matches the corrected rule and produces the expected web-filter decision with no accidental bypass.
  3. Previously failing valid certificate connections pass with correct time, while an actually expired test certificate remains rejected.
  4. The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules. This outcome validates the intended correction for: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The associated approved corrective action is: Investigate the specific signature and use a narrowly scoped temporary exclusion or action change after risk approval. The Northgate Telecom reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 Northgate Telecom issue: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

B:

A fresh session matches the corrected rule and produces the expected web-filter decision with no accidental bypass. This would verify a separate corrective action: Check the active firewall policy ID and attached web filter profile for the test flow before editing filter categories. That separate change addresses: A blocked website appears allowed after an administrator edits the correct profile but the session is actually matching a higher unrestricted firewall policy. It does not validate the current Northgate Telecom issue: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

C:

Previously failing valid certificate connections pass with correct time, while an actually expired test certificate remains rejected. This would verify a separate corrective action: Synchronize FortiGate and relevant clients to trusted time sources before adjusting certificate trust settings. That separate change addresses: HTTPS inspection fails intermittently because the FortiGate system time is incorrect and otherwise valid certificates appear not yet valid. It does not validate the current Northgate Telecom issue: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

Question 615

At Granite SaaS, the platform network security team administers FortiGate-based protection for a hosted business application and remote administrator fleet under requirements for per-tenant access restrictions and reliable telemetry. A controlled troubleshooting report identifies: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. Which corrective action BEST addresses this particular FortiGate administration issue?

  1. Restore block actions for the documented prohibited categories and reserve monitoring for explicitly allowed observation cases.
  2. Investigate the specific signature and use a narrowly scoped temporary exclusion or action change after risk approval.
  3. Enable relevant antivirus and traffic logs and correlate the signature event with source, destination, file and policy identifiers.
  4. Apply supported QUIC application control or a documented fallback inspection strategy for managed endpoints as required by policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Investigate the specific signature and use a narrowly scoped temporary exclusion or action change after risk approval. This correction directly addresses the specified FortiGate issue: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The Granite SaaS change must be validated rather than treated as successful solely because its settings were saved. The decisive acceptance evidence is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Restore block actions for the documented prohibited categories and reserve monitoring for explicitly allowed observation cases. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A policy owner changes FortiGate web-filter actions from block to monitor without realizing users will still reach sites considered prohibited. It is not a targeted solution for the current Granite SaaS requirement: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The appropriate result to verify here is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

C:

Enable relevant antivirus and traffic logs and correlate the signature event with source, destination, file and policy identifiers. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: Antivirus detects a file but incident responders cannot determine which policy or session delivered it because its logging configuration is incomplete. It is not a targeted solution for the current Granite SaaS requirement: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The appropriate result to verify here is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

D:

Apply supported QUIC application control or a documented fallback inspection strategy for managed endpoints as required by policy. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A web application uses QUIC and bypasses inspection assumptions built only around TLS over TCP for the organization's protected web traffic. It is not a targeted solution for the current Granite SaaS requirement: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The appropriate result to verify here is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

Question 616

At Granite SaaS, the platform network security team administers FortiGate-based protection for a hosted business application and remote administrator fleet under requirements for per-tenant access restrictions and reliable telemetry. Following the approved change, the team must validate: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?

  1. The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.
  2. Controlled requests to two paths on the same hostname receive different intended decisions while valid TLS trust remains intact.
  3. The test demonstrates correct path-aware evaluation after decryption instead of assuming a certificate-only handshake reveals the path.
  4. A controlled HTTPS inspection session validates the full chain without relying on a certificate-warning exception.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules. This outcome validates the intended correction for: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The associated approved corrective action is: Investigate the specific signature and use a narrowly scoped temporary exclusion or action change after risk approval. The Granite SaaS reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Controlled requests to two paths on the same hostname receive different intended decisions while valid TLS trust remains intact. This would verify a separate corrective action: Use full SSL inspection for managed endpoints when the policy requires path-aware HTTPS filtering rather than just domain classification. That separate change addresses: A FortiGate web filter set to certificate inspection cannot distinguish two URL paths on the same encrypted hostname. It does not validate the current Granite SaaS issue: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

C:

The test demonstrates correct path-aware evaluation after decryption instead of assuming a certificate-only handshake reveals the path. This would verify a separate corrective action: Confirm whether the requested URL match requires deep SSL inspection and select a supported inspection policy with proper endpoint trust. That separate change addresses: An HTTPS URL filter exception appears ineffective because the firewall matches a certificate-only inspection profile with no decrypted path visibility. It does not validate the current Granite SaaS issue: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

D:

A controlled HTTPS inspection session validates the full chain without relying on a certificate-warning exception. This would verify a separate corrective action: Install the appropriate complete supported certificate chain and verify the profile references the intended trusted CA. That separate change addresses: A FortiGate administrator imports only a web server's leaf certificate into a deep-inspection trust chain and omits the required intermediate CA. It does not validate the current Granite SaaS issue: The IPS engine flags normal application requests as an exploit after a new signature update and operators disable all intrusion protection. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The legitimate application works and an unrelated authorized IPS test still triggers protection under the remaining sensor rules.

Question 617

At Timberline Foods, the network operations team administers FortiGate-based protection for food distribution centers and warehouse WAN connections under requirements for reliable branch traffic and controlled management changes. A scoped security review finds: A FortiGate IPS scan reports high CPU but administrators cannot distinguish inspection workload from unrelated system processes. Which corrective action BEST addresses this particular FortiGate administration issue?

  1. Restore block actions for the documented prohibited categories and reserve monitoring for explicitly allowed observation cases.
  2. Verify service registration, rating server connectivity and supported fail-behavior settings before adjusting local web rules.
  3. Correlate IPS engine resource metrics, relevant session rates and signature processing before tuning the sensor scope.
  4. Document the encrypted-content limitations and use an authorized endpoint or additional security control for files unavailable to gateway scanning.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Correlate IPS engine resource metrics, relevant session rates and signature processing before tuning the sensor scope. This correction directly addresses the specified FortiGate issue: A FortiGate IPS scan reports high CPU but administrators cannot distinguish inspection workload from unrelated system processes. The Timberline Foods change must be validated rather than treated as successful solely because its settings were saved. The decisive acceptance evidence is: The offending workload is identified and CPU falls after a targeted safe sensor adjustment while core IPS checks remain active.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Restore block actions for the documented prohibited categories and reserve monitoring for explicitly allowed observation cases. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A policy owner changes FortiGate web-filter actions from block to monitor without realizing users will still reach sites considered prohibited. It is not a targeted solution for the current Timberline Foods requirement: A FortiGate IPS scan reports high CPU but administrators cannot distinguish inspection workload from unrelated system processes. The appropriate result to verify here is: The offending workload is identified and CPU falls after a targeted safe sensor adjustment while core IPS checks remain active.

B:

Verify service registration, rating server connectivity and supported fail-behavior settings before adjusting local web rules. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: FortiGate cannot categorize web requests because its FortiGuard rating connectivity or licensing is unavailable and operators treat the problem as an access-list error. It is not a targeted solution for the current Timberline Foods requirement: A FortiGate IPS scan reports high CPU but administrators cannot distinguish inspection workload from unrelated system processes. The appropriate result to verify here is: The offending workload is identified and CPU falls after a targeted safe sensor adjustment while core IPS checks remain active.

D:

Document the encrypted-content limitations and use an authorized endpoint or additional security control for files unavailable to gateway scanning. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A user downloads an encrypted attachment and the antivirus system records no content verdict because the encrypted payload cannot be inspected. It is not a targeted solution for the current Timberline Foods requirement: A FortiGate IPS scan reports high CPU but administrators cannot distinguish inspection workload from unrelated system processes. The appropriate result to verify here is: The offending workload is identified and CPU falls after a targeted safe sensor adjustment while core IPS checks remain active.

The security reviewer verifies a claimed fix for: A FortiGate IPS scan reports high CPU but administrators cannot distinguish inspection workload from unrelated system processes. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?

  1. A controlled test flow logs a match against the expected deep-inspection policy and a separate bypass path is denied.
  2. The offending workload is identified and CPU falls after a targeted safe sensor adjustment while core IPS checks remain active.
  3. A managed test browser trusts only the intended enterprise inspection chain and an unexpected origin identity remains blocked or flagged.
  4. The test demonstrates correct path-aware evaluation after decryption instead of assuming a certificate-only handshake reveals the path.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The offending workload is identified and CPU falls after a targeted safe sensor adjustment while core IPS checks remain active. This outcome validates the intended correction for: A FortiGate IPS scan reports high CPU but administrators cannot distinguish inspection workload from unrelated system processes. The associated approved corrective action is: Correlate IPS engine resource metrics, relevant session rates and signature processing before tuning the sensor scope. The Lakeside Research reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A controlled test flow logs a match against the expected deep-inspection policy and a separate bypass path is denied. This would verify a separate corrective action: Correct policy ordering and bind the intended SSL/SSH inspection profile to all applicable approved egress policies. That separate change addresses: A security team enables HTTPS deep inspection in a policy but clients connect around it through a different allow rule with certificate-only inspection. It does not validate the current Lakeside Research issue: A FortiGate IPS scan reports high CPU but administrators cannot distinguish inspection workload from unrelated system processes. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The offending workload is identified and CPU falls after a targeted safe sensor adjustment while core IPS checks remain active.

C:

A managed test browser trusts only the intended enterprise inspection chain and an unexpected origin identity remains blocked or flagged. This would verify a separate corrective action: Use the correct authorized inspection CA for outbound re-signing and preserve verified origin certificate identities in the inspection decision. That separate change addresses: A device mistakenly applies a private corporate CA certificate as the identity for an unrelated public web server during TLS interception. It does not validate the current Lakeside Research issue: A FortiGate IPS scan reports high CPU but administrators cannot distinguish inspection workload from unrelated system processes. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The offending workload is identified and CPU falls after a targeted safe sensor adjustment while core IPS checks remain active.

D:

The test demonstrates correct path-aware evaluation after decryption instead of assuming a certificate-only handshake reveals the path. This would verify a separate corrective action: Confirm whether the requested URL match requires deep SSL inspection and select a supported inspection policy with proper endpoint trust. That separate change addresses: An HTTPS URL filter exception appears ineffective because the firewall matches a certificate-only inspection profile with no decrypted path visibility. It does not validate the current Lakeside Research issue: A FortiGate IPS scan reports high CPU but administrators cannot distinguish inspection workload from unrelated system processes. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The offending workload is identified and CPU falls after a targeted safe sensor adjustment while core IPS checks remain active.
