FCSS_SASE_AD-24 FCSS - FortiSASE 24 Administrator Questions and Answers

When configuring FortiSASE Secure Private Access (SPA) with SD-WAN integration, establishing a routing adjacency between FortiSASE and the FortiGate SD-WAN hub requires the use of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol):

BGP is widely used for establishing routing adjacencies between different networks, particularly in SD-WAN environments.

It provides scalability and flexibility in managing dynamic routing between FortiSASE and the FortiGate SD-WAN hub.

Routing Adjacency:

BGP enables the exchange of routing information between FortiSASE and the FortiGate SD-WAN hub.

This ensures optimal routing paths and efficient traffic management across the hybrid network.

Onboarding a Secure Web Gateway (SWG) endpoint involves several components to ensure secure and effective integration with FortiSASE. Two key components are the FortiSASE CA certificate and the proxy auto-configuration (PAC) file.

FortiSASE CA Certificate:

The FortiSASE CA certificate is essential for establishing trust between the endpoint and the FortiSASE infrastructure.

It ensures that the endpoint can securely communicate with FortiSASE services and inspect SSL/TLS traffic.

Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) File:

The PAC file is used to configure the endpoint to direct web traffic through the FortiSASE proxy.

It provides instructions on how to route traffic, ensuring that all web requests are properly inspected and filtered by FortiSASE.

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.
