FCSS_SASE_AD-24 Questions and Answers

The issue of an almost empty daily summary report in FortiSASE can often be traced back to how logging is configured within the system. Specifically, if "Log Allowed Traffic" is set to "Security Events" for all policies, it means that only security-related events (such as threats or anomalies) are being logged, while normal, allowed traffic is not being recorded. Since most traffic in a typical network environment is allowed, this configuration would result in very little data being captured and subsequently reported in the daily summary.

Here’s a breakdown of why the other options are less likely to be the cause:

B. There are no security profile groups applied to all policies:While applying security profiles is important for comprehensive protection, their absence does not directly affect the volume of data in reports unless specific logging settings are also misconfigured.

C. The web filter security profile is not set to Monitor:This option pertains specifically to web filtering activities. Even if web filtering is not set to monitor mode, other types of traffic and logs should still populate the report.

D. Digital experience monitoring is not configured:Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) focuses on user experience metrics rather than general traffic logging. Its absence would not lead to an almost empty report.

To resolve this issue, administrators should review the logging settings across all policies and ensure that "Log Allowed Traffic" is appropriately configured to capture the necessary data for reporting purposes.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) private access provides the most efficient and secure method for remote users to access a TCP-based application hosted on a private web server. ZTNA ensures that only authenticated and authorized users can access specific applications based on predefined policies, enhancing security and access control.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA):

ZTNA operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify," continuously verifying user identity and device security posture before granting access.

It provides secure and granular access to specific applications, ensuring that remote users can securely access the TCP-based application hosted on the private web server.

Secure and Efficient Access:

ZTNA private access allows remote users to connect directly to the application without needing a full VPN tunnel, reducing latency and improving performance.

It ensures that only authorized users can access the application, providing robust security controls.

Based on the provided exhibits, the reason why the Win7-Pro endpoint can no longer access the internet through FortiSASE is due to exceeding the total vulnerability detected threshold. This threshold is used to determine if a device is compliant with the security requirements to access the network.

Endpoint Compliance:

FortiSASE monitors endpoint compliance by assessing various security parameters, including the number of vulnerabilities detected on the device.

The compliance status is indicated by the ZTNA tags and the vulnerabilities detected.

Vulnerability Threshold:

The exhibit shows that Win7-Pro has 176 vulnerabilities detected, whereas Win10-Pro has 140 vulnerabilities.

If the endpoint exceeds a predefined vulnerability threshold, it may be restricted from accessing the network to ensure overall network security.

Impact on Network Access:

Since Win7-Pro has exceeded the vulnerability threshold, it is marked as non-compliant and subsequently loses internet access through FortiSASE.

The FortiSASE endpoint profile enforces this compliance check to prevent potentially vulnerable devices from accessing the internet.
