Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE7_ZTA-7.2 exam

Question #: 7
Topic #: 3

FortiNAC has alarm mappings configured for MDM compliance failure, and FortiClient EMS is added as a MDM connector When an endpoint is quarantined by FortiClient EMS, what action does FortiNAC perform?

AThe host is isolated in the registration VLAN

BThe host is marked at risk

CThe host is forced to authenticate again

DThe host is disabled

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In the scenario where FortiNAC has alarm mappings configured for MDM (Mobile Device Management) compliance failure and FortiClient EMS (Endpoint Management System) is integrated as an MDM connector, the typical response when an endpoint is quarantined by FortiClient EMS is to isolate the host in the registration VLAN. This action is consistent with FortiNAC's approach to network access control, focusing on ensuring network security and compliance. By moving the non-compliant or quarantined host to a registration VLAN, FortiNAC effectively segregates it from the rest of the network, mitigating potential risks while allowing for further investigation or remediation steps.

Exactly. It helps prevent any potential security risks by isolating non-compliant endpoints.

I believe so. It's important for network security purposes to quarantine endpoints that do not meet compliance standards.

That makes sense. So the action taken by FortiNAC is to isolate the host in the registration VLAN when there is an MDM compliance failure?

I think when an endpoint is quarantined by FortiClient EMS, FortiNAC isolates the host in the registration VLAN.

Hmm, good point. Option C does seem like a reasonable choice too. Forcing re-authentication could be a nice way to give the user a chance to fix the problem.

I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't it be better for FortiNAC to just force the host to re-authenticate? That way, the user could potentially resolve the compliance issue and get back on the network.

Yeah, I agree. Option B looks like the correct answer here. Quarantining the endpoint should trigger the 'at-risk' status in FortiNAC rather than isolating it or disabling it completely.

Hmm, this is an interesting question. From what I understand, if FortiClient EMS quarantines an endpoint, FortiNAC should mark the host as at-risk. That seems to match option B.
