NSE7_PBC-7.2 Practice Test

Explanation:

To configure a FortiGate VM to add to FortiCNP, you need to perform three steps on FortiGate:

• Enable send logs in FortiGate to allow FortiCNP to receive the IPS logs from FortiGate.

• Create an SSL/SSH inspection profile on FortiGate to inspect the encrypted traffic and apply IPS protection.

• Create an IPS sensor and a firewall policy on FortiGate to enable IPS detection and prevention for the traffic.

Explanation:

A VPC attachment is the type of attachment that allows you to connect a VPC to a TGW and advertise routes through BGP. A VPC attachment creates a VPN connection between the VPC and the TGW, and enables dynamic routing with BGP. A connect attachment is used to connect a VPN or Direct Connect gateway to a TGW. A route attachment is not a valid type of attachment for TGW. A GRE attachment is used to connect a FortiGate device to a TGW using GRE tunnels.

Explanation:

The correct answer is C and D. FortiGate NGFW can inspect north-south container traffic with label aware policies and FortiGate NGFW and FortiSandbox can be used to secure container traffic.

According to the Fortinet documentation for container security1, FortiGate NGFW can provide the following benefits for securing container infrastructure:

• It can inspect north-south traffic between containers and external networks using label aware policies, which allow for dynamic policy enforcement based on Kubernetes labels and metadata.

• It can integrate with FortiSandbox to provide advanced threat protection for container traffic, by sending suspicious files or URLs to a cloud-based sandbox for analysis and detection.

• It can leverage FortiGuard Security Services to provide real-time threat intelligence and updates for container traffic, such as antivirus, web filtering, IPS, and application control. The other options are incorrect because:

• FortiGate NGFW cannot be placed between each application container for north-south traffic inspection, as this would create unnecessary complexity and overhead. Instead, FortiGate NGFW can be deployed at the edge of the container network or as a sidecar proxy to inspect traffic at the ingress and egress points.

• FortiGate NGFW cannot connect to the worker node and protect the container, as this would not provide sufficient visibility and control over the container traffic. Instead, FortiGate NGFW can leverage the native Kubernetes APIs and services to monitor and secure the container traffic. 1:Fortinet Documentation Library - Container Security

Explanation:

Securing container environments from newly emerged security threats involves employing specific security mechanisms tailored to the technology and structure of containers. In this context, the use of Docker-related application control signatures (Option D) is critical for effectively managing and mitigating threats in containerized environments.

• Docker-Specific Threats:Docker containers, being a prevalent form of container technology, are targeted by various security threats, including those that exploit vulnerabilities specific to the Docker environment and runtime. Using Docker-related application control signatures means implementing security measures that are specifically designed to detect and respond to anomalies and threats that are unique to Docker containers.

• Application Control Signatures:These are sets of definitions that help identify and block potentially malicious activities within application traffic. By focusing on Docker-related signatures, administrators can ensure that the security tools are finely tuned to the operational specifics of Docker containers, thereby providing a robust defense against exploits that target container-specific vulnerabilities.

The recommendation to use Docker-related application control signatures is based on best practices for securing container environments, emphasizing the need for specialized security measures that address the unique challenges posed by container technologies.

Explanation:

• Simplified and Scalable Connectivity: Transit Gateway Connect allows you to establish GRE tunnels to your SD-WAN appliances natively within the AWS network. This eliminates the complexity of managing individual IPsec VPN connections, especially as your cloud presence grows.

• Potential for Enhanced Performance: GRE offers lower overhead compared to IPsec, which can result in higher throughput for bandwidth-intensive SD-WAN applications.

• Flexibility: While IPsec is supported for scenarios requiring strong encryption, the focus on GRE highlights the performance and scalability benefits that are often prioritized when integrating SD-WAN with AWS.

• Dynamic Routing: The integration with BGP further streamlines network management by automating route updates and distribution.

Addressing the IPsec Consideration:

It's important to acknowledge that SD-WAN Transit Gateway Connect does support IPsec. If your question is specifically framed within the context of Fortinet's FCSS 7.2 materials and they emphasize the hybrid usage of GRE and IPsec, then a modified answer might be appropriate:
