Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Based on the FortiGate Security Fabric settings shown in the exhibits, to successfully quarantine an endpoint when it is detected as a compromised host (IOC), the following step is required:

Enable Remote HTTPS Access to EMS: This setting allows FortiGate to communicate securely with FortiClient EMS over HTTPS. Remote HTTPS access is essential for the quarantine functionality to operate correctly, enabling the EMS server to receive and act upon the quarantine commands from FortiGate.

Therefore, the administrator must enable remote HTTPS access to EMS to allow the quarantine process to function properly.

You got that right, Elbert! This certification is no joke. Better study up on that FortiGate Security Fabric configuration if you want to pass.

That's correct. SSH access is needed for the EMS server to quarantine an endpoint.

I think the administrator must enable SSH access to EMS for successful quarantine.

Haha, I bet the exam writers are having a field day coming up with these trick questions. Just when you think you've got it, they throw in another twist!

That's a good point, Carmen. But I think the key here is the authorization on the FortiAnalyzer. Without that, the quarantine process won't work, no matter what else we do.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Shouldn't we also enable remote HTTPS access to the EMS server? I mean, how else is the FortiGate going to communicate with it?

Maybe enabling FQDN on EMS could also help in successfully quarantining an endpoint.

I think you're right. Enabling remote HTTPS access to the EMS server seems necessary for communication.

I agree with Nickolas. The exhibits show the FortiGate Security Fabric settings, and the question is asking about the actions required on the EMS server. Authorizing the FortiGate on the FortiAnalyzer seems like the logical step.
