Fortinet FCP_FAZ_AN-7.4 Actual Questions

In FortiAnalyzer's incident management system, analysts have the option to manually manage incidents, which includes attaching relevant reports to an incident for further investigation and documentation. This feature allows analysts to consolidate information, such as detailed reports on suspicious activity, into an incident record, providing a comprehensive view for incident response.

Let's review the other options to clarify why they are incorrect:

Option A: You can manually attach generated reports to incidents

This is correct. FortiAnalyzer allows analysts to manually attach reports to incidents, which is beneficial for providing additional context, evidence, or analysis related to the incident. This functionality is part of the incident management process and helps streamline information for tracking and resolution.

Option B: The status of the incident is always linked to the status of the attached event

This is incorrect. The status of an incident on FortiAnalyzer is managed independently of the status of any attached events. An incident can contain multiple events, each with different statuses, but the incident itself is tracked separately.

Option C: Severity incidents rated with the level High have an initial service-level agreement (SLA) response time of 1 hour

This is incorrect. While incidents have severity levels, specific SLA response times are typically set according to the organization’s incident response policy, and FortiAnalyzer does not impose a default SLA response time of 1 hour for high-severity incidents.

Option D: Incidents must be acknowledged before they can be analyzed

This is incorrect. Incidents on FortiAnalyzer can be analyzed even if they are not yet acknowledged. Acknowledging an incident is often part of the workflow to mark it as being actively addressed, but it is not a prerequisite for analysis.

References: According to FortiAnalyzer documentation, analysts can attach reports to incidents manually, making option A correct. This feature enables better tracking and documentation within the incident management system on FortiAnalyzer​.

Macros in FortiAnalyzer are used to streamline reporting tasks by automating data extraction and report generation. Here’s a breakdown of each option to determine the correct answer:

Option A - Macros are Predefined Templates for Reports and Cannot be Customized:

This statement is incorrect. Macros in FortiAnalyzer are not simply fixed templates; they allow for customization to tailor data extraction and reporting based on specific needs and configurations.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option B - Macros are Useful in Generating Excel Log Files Automatically Based on the Report Settings:

This statement is accurate. Macros in FortiAnalyzer can be configured to automate the generation of reports, including outputting log data to Excel format based on predefined report settings. This makes them especially useful for scheduled reporting and data analysis.

Conclusion: Correct.

Option C - Macros are ADOM-Specific and Each ADOM Type Has Unique Macros Relevant to that ADOM:

Macros are not limited to specific ADOMs, nor are they ADOM-specific. Macros can be applied across various ADOMs based on report configurations but are not inherently tied to or unique for each ADOM type.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option D - Macros are Supported Only on the FortiGate ADOMs:

This is not true. Macros in FortiAnalyzer are not restricted to FortiGate ADOMs; they can be utilized across different ADOMs that FortiAnalyzer manages.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Conclusion:

Correct Answer: B. Macros are useful in generating excel log files automatically based on the report settings.

This answer correctly describes the functionality of macros in FortiAnalyzer, emphasizing their role in automating report generation, especially for Excel log files.

FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 documentation on macros and report generation functionalities.

In FortiOS 7.4.1 and FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1, the "Unhandled" status in logs typically signifies that the FortiGate encountered a security event but did not take any specific action to block or alter it. This usually occurs in the context of Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) logs.

IPS logs with action=pass: When the IPS engine inspects traffic and determines that it does not match any known attack signatures or violate any configured policies, it assigns the action "pass". Since no action is taken to block or modify this traffic, the status is logged as "Unhandled."

Let's look at why the other options are incorrect:

An AV log with action=quarantine: Antivirus (AV) logs with the action "quarantine" indicate that a file was detected as malicious and moved to quarantine. This is a definitive action, so the status wouldn't be "Unhandled."

A WebFilter log will action=dropped: WebFilter logs with the action "dropped" indicate that web traffic was blocked according to the configured web filtering policies. Again, this is a specific action taken, not an "Unhandled" event.

An AppControl log with action=blocked: Application Control logs with the action "blocked" mean that an application was denied access based on the defined application control rules. This is also a clear action, not "Unhandled."
