Question 3

How are websites filtered using FortiGuard category filters?

Correct 1 points out of 1

Select one: By scanning the website for malware in real time By blocking access based on the website content By examining the HTTP headers from the website By denying access based on the website IP address

Question 4 Incorrect 0 points out of 1

Create a user group and configure a firewall policy with the group as the source. Connect FortiGate to a remote authentication server and configure its IP addresses as the source. Create a user group, map authenticated remote users to the group, and configure a firewall policy with the user group as the source.

Question 8 Correct 1 points out of 1

Question 22 Correct 1 points out of 1

What is a characteristic of a firewall policy used to allow the traffic from Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) connections? Select one: It assigns SSL certificates to user groups trying to connect. It defines the port number used for the SSL VPN portal. It uses a virtual tunnel interface in the source field. It encapsulates the traffic using the VPN settings configured.

Question 25

What is the key difference between Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate inspection and SSL deep inspection?

Correct 1 points out of 1

Select one: SSL certificate inspection requires a trusted certificate authority (CA), while SSL deep inspection uses the FortiGate CA certificate. SSL certificate inspection decrypts and inspects encrypted content, while SSL deep inspection verifies the identity of the web server. SSL certificate inspection applies to only HTTPS traffic, while SSL deep inspection applies to multiple SSL-encrypted protocols.
