Question 620

At Lakeside Research, the cybersecurity services team administers FortiGate-based protection for campus labs and private research infrastructure under requirements for identity-aware segmentation and evidence retention. 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.

Question 621

At Bluehaven Transit, the operations firewall team administers FortiGate-based protection for rail operations support and scheduling applications under requirements for safe change windows and precise branch access. A controlled troubleshooting report identifies: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. Which corrective action BEST addresses this particular FortiGate administration issue?

  1. Verify the FortiGuard entitlement, IPS engine and signature update status and enable the appropriate supported vulnerability signature.
  2. Use supported application-control matching and precise allowed service ports rather than a blanket any-service forward rule.
  3. Choose features supported by the actual flow or proxy inspection mode and bind the matching web-filter profile accordingly.
  4. Configure the supported FortiSandbox or appropriate cloud sandbox integration and required submission path for eligible files.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Verify the FortiGuard entitlement, IPS engine and signature update status and enable the appropriate supported vulnerability signature. This correction directly addresses the specified FortiGate issue: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The Bluehaven Transit change must be validated rather than treated as successful solely because its settings were saved. The decisive acceptance evidence is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Use supported application-control matching and precise allowed service ports rather than a blanket any-service forward rule. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A network team changes service objects to allow all ports after an application receives a new transport port even though policy requires application-specific access. It is not a targeted solution for the current Bluehaven Transit requirement: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The appropriate result to verify here is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

C:

Choose features supported by the actual flow or proxy inspection mode and bind the matching web-filter profile accordingly. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A team configures a proxy-specific web-filter option while the associated FortiGate firewall policy runs in flow-based inspection mode. It is not a targeted solution for the current Bluehaven Transit requirement: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The appropriate result to verify here is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

D:

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 Bluehaven Transit requirement: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The appropriate result to verify here is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

Question 622

At Bluehaven Transit, the operations firewall team administers FortiGate-based protection for rail operations support and scheduling applications under requirements for safe change windows and precise branch access. Following the approved change, the team must validate: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?

  1. A blocked test session has an attributable application signature event and the analyst can distinguish it from a base firewall denial.
  2. The policy's inspection mode and profile are compatible and a test request is handled by the intended configured feature.
  3. A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.
  4. A permitted laboratory sample of the targeted application is denied with an application-control event and benign applications still connect.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures. This outcome validates the intended correction for: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The associated approved corrective action is: Verify the FortiGuard entitlement, IPS engine and signature update status and enable the appropriate supported vulnerability signature. The Bluehaven Transit reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A blocked test session has an attributable application signature event and the analyst can distinguish it from a base firewall denial. This would verify a separate corrective action: Enable appropriate application-control logging and correlate signatures, policy IDs, users and timestamps for a controlled test. That separate change addresses: The application-control sensor is installed but no usable event logs identify which signature caused a business application to stop working. It does not validate the current Bluehaven Transit issue: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

B:

The policy's inspection mode and profile are compatible and a test request is handled by the intended configured feature. This would verify a separate corrective action: Choose features supported by the actual flow or proxy inspection mode and bind the matching web-filter profile accordingly. That separate change addresses: A team configures a proxy-specific web-filter option while the associated FortiGate firewall policy runs in flow-based inspection mode. It does not validate the current Bluehaven Transit issue: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

D:

A permitted laboratory sample of the targeted application is denied with an application-control event and benign applications still connect. This would verify a separate corrective action: Change the specific application signature or category action to block while retaining logging for security review. That separate change addresses: An administrator configures an application-control rule only to monitor a high-risk application even though company policy requires blocking it. It does not validate the current Bluehaven Transit issue: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

Question 623

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. A scoped security review finds: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. Which corrective action BEST addresses this particular FortiGate administration issue?

  1. Review supported oversized-file actions, protocol options and logging and apply the organization's fail-open or fail-closed decision.
  2. Verify the FortiGuard entitlement, IPS engine and signature update status and enable the appropriate supported vulnerability signature.
  3. Review the supported application-control and security profile behavior for the configured policy inspection mode.
  4. Apply supported QUIC application control or a documented fallback inspection strategy for managed endpoints as required by policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Verify the FortiGuard entitlement, IPS engine and signature update status and enable the appropriate supported vulnerability signature. This correction directly addresses the specified FortiGate issue: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The Redstone Aviation change must be validated rather than treated as successful solely because its settings were saved. The decisive acceptance evidence is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Review supported oversized-file actions, protocol options and logging and apply the organization's fail-open or fail-closed decision. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A file exceeds configured antivirus scanning limits and an analyst incorrectly reports it as fully inspected without reviewing oversized-file behavior. It is not a targeted solution for the current Redstone Aviation requirement: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The appropriate result to verify here is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

C:

Review the supported application-control and security profile behavior for the configured policy inspection mode. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: One FortiGate policy uses flow-based inspection but an engineer enables a profile feature that is available only in proxy-based inspection. It is not a targeted solution for the current Redstone Aviation requirement: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The appropriate result to verify here is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

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 Redstone Aviation requirement: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The appropriate result to verify here is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

Question 624

  1. A managed test browser trusts only the intended enterprise inspection chain and an unexpected origin identity remains blocked or flagged.
  2. A controlled test flow logs a match against the expected deep-inspection policy and a separate bypass path is denied.
  3. A controlled HTTPS inspection session validates the full chain without relying on a certificate-warning exception.
  4. A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures. This outcome validates the intended correction for: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The associated approved corrective action is: Verify the FortiGuard entitlement, IPS engine and signature update status and enable the appropriate supported vulnerability signature. The Redstone Aviation reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.

It does not validate the current Redstone Aviation issue: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

C:

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 Redstone Aviation issue: A critical server remains vulnerable to a newly published exploit pattern because the FortiGate IPS signature database has not updated. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A vendor-provided harmless detection test produces the expected IPS event and the firewall reports current signatures.

Question 625

At Juniper Media, the edge security operations team administers FortiGate-based protection for a global content production and publishing platform under requirements for application visibility and stable internet connectivity. An authorized change review identifies: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. Which corrective action BEST addresses this particular FortiGate administration issue?

  1. Keep upstream certificate validation enabled and remediate the specific trust chain or narrowly authorized exception.
  2. Scope IPS signature exceptions to the permitted test server and destination policy rather than the entire profile estate.
  3. Select supported FortiGate antivirus features based on the policy's flow or proxy inspection mode and document their behavior.
  4. Install the appropriate complete supported certificate chain and verify the profile references the intended trusted CA.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Scope IPS signature exceptions to the permitted test server and destination policy rather than the entire profile estate. This correction directly addresses the specified FortiGate issue: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. The Juniper Media change must be validated rather than treated as successful solely because its settings were saved. The decisive acceptance evidence is: The development test is handled by its approved exception while the corresponding production test remains protected and logged.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Keep upstream certificate validation enabled and remediate the specific trust chain or narrowly authorized exception. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: An administrator changes the SSL inspection profile to disable all certificate validation after encountering one untrusted upstream server. It is not a targeted solution for the current Juniper Media requirement: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. The appropriate result to verify here is: The development test is handled by its approved exception while the corresponding production test remains protected and logged.

C:

Select supported FortiGate antivirus features based on the policy's flow or proxy inspection mode and document their behavior. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: An antivirus sensor uses flow-based scanning but operators expect a proxy-only content transformation feature to run during the same session. It is not a targeted solution for the current Juniper Media requirement: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. The appropriate result to verify here is: The development test is handled by its approved exception while the corresponding production test remains protected and logged.

D:

Install the appropriate complete supported certificate chain and verify the profile references the intended trusted CA. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A FortiGate administrator imports only a web server's leaf certificate into a deep-inspection trust chain and omits the required intermediate CA.

Question 626

At Juniper Media, the edge security operations team administers FortiGate-based protection for a global content production and publishing platform under requirements for application visibility and stable internet connectivity. The security reviewer verifies a claimed fix for: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?

  1. A controlled inbound HTTPS request is decrypted for the intended security profiles and the browser validates the correct public service identity.
  2. A controlled prohibited flow shows the expected firewall policy and application-control decision in separate attributable records.
  3. An approved server with a complete chain passes inspection while a deliberately invalid certificate is still reported and denied.
  4. The development test is handled by its approved exception while the corresponding production test remains protected and logged.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The development test is handled by its approved exception while the corresponding production test remains protected and logged. This outcome validates the intended correction for: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. The associated approved corrective action is: Scope IPS signature exceptions to the permitted test server and destination policy rather than the entire profile estate. The Juniper Media reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A controlled inbound HTTPS request is decrypted for the intended security profiles and the browser validates the correct public service identity. This would verify a separate corrective action: Configure the supported inbound SSL inspection or TLS termination method using the approved certificate and key management process. That separate change addresses: FortiGate inbound deep inspection for a published HTTPS application has no access to a usable certificate and private key for the protected service. It does not validate the current Juniper Media issue: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The development test is handled by its approved exception while the corresponding production test remains protected and logged.

B:

A controlled prohibited flow shows the expected firewall policy and application-control decision in separate attributable records. This would verify a separate corrective action: Correlate the forward-policy selection, application-control sensor assignment and signature action for the same session. That separate change addresses: A security analyst mistakes the application signature category as the firewall policy match and cannot explain why a banned app is permitted. It does not validate the current Juniper Media issue: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. The relevant acceptance evidence is: The development test is handled by its approved exception while the corresponding production test remains protected and logged.

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.

Question 627

At Silvercrest University, the campus network defense team administers FortiGate-based protection for student and staff network services across buildings under requirements for separated identities and protected learning services. A controlled troubleshooting report identifies: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. Which corrective action BEST addresses this particular FortiGate administration issue?

  1. Scope IPS signature exceptions to the permitted test server and destination policy rather than the entire profile estate.
  2. Use web filtering for category and URL decisions and application control for recognized application behavior under the intended policy.
  3. Document the encrypted-content limitations and use an authorized endpoint or additional security control for files unavailable to gateway scanning.
  4. Apply supported QUIC application control or a documented fallback inspection strategy for managed endpoints as required by policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Scope IPS signature exceptions to the permitted test server and destination policy rather than the entire profile estate. This correction directly addresses the specified FortiGate issue: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. The Silvercrest University change must be validated rather than treated as successful solely because its settings were saved. The decisive acceptance evidence is: The development test is handled by its approved exception while the corresponding production test remains protected and logged.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Use web filtering for category and URL decisions and application control for recognized application behavior under the intended policy. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A security team mistakenly assumes an application-control block for a browser is equivalent to the web filter's URL category policy. It is not a targeted solution for the current Silvercrest University requirement: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. The appropriate result to verify here is: The development test is handled by its approved exception while the corresponding production test remains protected and logged.

C:

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 Silvercrest University requirement: An IPS exception created for one development server accidentally disables the same protection across all production application hosts. The appropriate result to verify here is: The development test is handled by its approved exception while the corresponding production test remains protected and logged.

Question 629

At Harborview Insurance, the security architecture team administers FortiGate-based protection for regional claims offices and cloud-hosted services under requirements for auditable firewall changes and defended remote access. A scoped security review finds: An analyst mistakes a FortiGate denied firewall-policy log for proof that an IPS signature blocked an exploit. Which corrective action BEST addresses this particular FortiGate administration issue?

  1. Deploy the FortiGate inspection CA certificate through the managed endpoint trust store and use a policy-approved deep-inspection profile.
  2. Correlate IPS-specific events with the forward policy and test signature before reporting the detection mechanism.
  3. Review supported archive scanning depth and resource constraints and apply an approved depth policy for the relevant traffic.
  4. Use web filtering for category and URL decisions and application control for recognized application behavior under the intended policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Correlate IPS-specific events with the forward policy and test signature before reporting the detection mechanism. This correction directly addresses the specified FortiGate issue: An analyst mistakes a FortiGate denied firewall-policy log for proof that an IPS signature blocked an exploit. The Harborview Insurance change must be validated rather than treated as successful solely because its settings were saved. The decisive acceptance evidence is: A controlled IPS trigger shows a unique signature event, whereas a simple policy deny shows a separate firewall decision.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Deploy the FortiGate inspection CA certificate through the managed endpoint trust store and use a policy-approved deep-inspection profile. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A FortiGate outbound TLS deep-inspection policy causes every corporate browser to warn that HTTPS certificates are not trusted. It is not a targeted solution for the current Harborview Insurance requirement: An analyst mistakes a FortiGate denied firewall-policy log for proof that an IPS signature blocked an exploit. The appropriate result to verify here is: A controlled IPS trigger shows a unique signature event, whereas a simple policy deny shows a separate firewall decision.

C:

Review supported archive scanning depth and resource constraints and apply an approved depth policy for the relevant traffic. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A downloaded archive contains a harmless test detection nested inside it but the scanning policy has too restrictive an archive depth setting. It is not a targeted solution for the current Harborview Insurance requirement: An analyst mistakes a FortiGate denied firewall-policy log for proof that an IPS signature blocked an exploit. The appropriate result to verify here is: A controlled IPS trigger shows a unique signature event, whereas a simple policy deny shows a separate firewall decision.

D:

Use web filtering for category and URL decisions and application control for recognized application behavior under the intended policy. This applies to a DIFFERENT FortiGate situation: A security team mistakenly assumes an application-control block for a browser is equivalent to the web filter's URL category policy.

An independent validation is requested for: An analyst mistakes a FortiGate denied firewall-policy log for proof that an IPS signature blocked an exploit. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?

  1. A controlled IPS trigger shows a unique signature event, whereas a simple policy deny shows a separate firewall decision.
  2. A managed test browser trusts only the intended enterprise inspection chain and an unexpected origin identity remains blocked or flagged.
  3. The one approved destination loads and another website in the prohibited category remains blocked under the same policy.
  4. A controlled test detection produces an attributable antivirus log and the associated user traffic record.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A controlled IPS trigger shows a unique signature event, whereas a simple policy deny shows a separate firewall decision. This outcome validates the intended correction for: An analyst mistakes a FortiGate denied firewall-policy log for proof that an IPS signature blocked an exploit. The associated approved corrective action is: Correlate IPS-specific events with the forward policy and test signature before reporting the detection mechanism. The Harborview Insurance reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.

Incorrect Answers

B:

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 Harborview Insurance issue: An analyst mistakes a FortiGate denied firewall-policy log for proof that an IPS signature blocked an exploit. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A controlled IPS trigger shows a unique signature event, whereas a simple policy deny shows a separate firewall decision.

C:

The one approved destination loads and another website in the prohibited category remains blocked under the same policy. This would verify a separate corrective action: Create a narrowly scoped URL filter or supported category override for the specific allowed domain and user context. That separate change addresses: A department needs an approved exception for one domain, but engineers allow its entire FortiGuard category across all users. It does not validate the current Harborview Insurance issue: An analyst mistakes a FortiGate denied firewall-policy log for proof that an IPS signature blocked an exploit. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A controlled IPS trigger shows a unique signature event, whereas a simple policy deny shows a separate firewall decision.

D:

A controlled test detection produces an attributable antivirus log and the associated user traffic record. This would verify a separate corrective action: Enable relevant antivirus and traffic logs and correlate the signature event with source, destination, file and policy identifiers. That separate change addresses: Antivirus detects a file but incident responders cannot determine which policy or session delivered it because its logging configuration is incomplete. It does not validate the current Harborview Insurance issue: An analyst mistakes a FortiGate denied firewall-policy log for proof that an IPS signature blocked an exploit. The relevant acceptance evidence is: A controlled IPS trigger shows a unique signature event, whereas a simple policy deny shows a separate firewall decision.
