Free Practice Questions for the Fortinet NSE 6 Network Security Specialist NSE6_EDR_AD-7.0 Exam (2026 Updated)

The correct answers are A and C .

The exhibit shows a green checkmark in the Exception column for the filezilla.exe event. In FortiEDR, an exception means a whitelist has been created for a specific flow/security-event pattern. The guide states that exceptions limit enforcement of a rule and that after an exception is defined, identical new events are no longer triggered. It also explains that past security events display an icon indicating that an exception has been defined for them.

The exhibit also shows the event flow ending in filezilla.exe with a red highlighted activity and a blocked symbol. In the Incidents/Investigation workflow, FortiEDR represents blocked policy violations as security events, and the guide explains that FortiEDR can enforce policy by blocking malicious connection establishment requests to prevent exfiltration. It also states that Block means the malicious exfiltration or file-changing attempt was blocked.

The correct answer is A. Investigation .

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide states that Investigation actions enable administrators to isolate a device or assign it to a high-security Collector Group for further investigation of the device’s activity. Under the Investigation section, the guide lists the available investigation action types, including “Isolate device with Collector,” “Isolate device with NAC,” and “Move device to High Security Group.”

For Isolate device with Collector , the guide explains that the action blocks communication to and from the affected Collector, and it applies only to endpoint Collectors. If the Playbook policy is configured to isolate a device for a malicious event, then when a malicious security event is triggered, the device is isolated from communicating with the outside world for both sending and receiving.

So, this is not a Remediation , Custom , or Notification action. In FortiEDR Playbook policy terminology, Isolate device with Collector belongs under Investigation .

=========

The correct answers are A and C .

The exhibit shows an audit/response action stating that IP address 74.125.235.20 was added to malicious IP addresses on firewall FortiGate . This matches the FortiEDR playbook action Block address on Firewall . The guide states that this action ensures connections to remote malicious addresses associated with the security event are blocked, and that a firewall connector must already be configured for this action. It also explains that a checkmark in a classification column means communication with the affected destination is automatically blocked when a security event with that classification is triggered.

Option C is the second best answer because FortiEDR events are initially classified by FortiEDR detection logic/Core, and the guide states that classifications are initially determined by the Core but can later be changed automatically by FortiEDR Cloud Service or manually. The exhibit shows “Classification Changed To: Suspicious (By Fortinet)” , but it does not say the event was manually classified by an administrator. So the event classification process is FortiEDR-driven, with later Fortinet/FCS-style automatic classification possible.

Option B is wrong. The exhibit shows one raw-data row with device cwinserv-32 +2 , which indicates more than one affected device/raw item is represented in the aggregation. So it did not occur on only one device.

Option D is wrong because the incident rows clearly show Unhandled . The guide states that security events are initially marked as unread and unhandled, and the unread/unhandled status helps users track whether anyone has read and handled the event.

=========

The correct answers are C and D .

The guide states that for eXtended Detection Source integration, FortiEDR connects to external systems to collect activity logs. The aggregated data is then sent to Fortinet Cloud Services (FCS) , where it is correlated and analyzed to detect malicious indications. Those malicious indications result in security events for eXtended Detection policy rule violations .

For FortiAnalyzer/FortiAnalyzer Cloud specifically, the guide states that this integration is used to correlate data between FortiEDR and the Fortinet Security Fabric and issue eXtended Detection alerts .

Option A is wrong because FCS does not send the original log record to FortiAnalyzer. FortiAnalyzer is the external source whose data is correlated with FortiEDR data. Option B is wrong because OS metadata is collected by the Collector and handled through FortiEDR components; the FCS role here is cloud-side enrichment, correlation, and detection, not sending OS metadata back to the manager.

=========

The correct answer is A. Core.

For FortiAnalyzer / FortiAnalyzer Cloud integration, the FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide states that one prerequisite is “A Jumpbox with connectivity to FortiAnalyzer.” The same section says to refer to Setting up the FortiEDR Core for details about installing a FortiEDR Core and configuring it as a Jumpbox. In the connector configuration, the guide also states that the Jumpbox field is used to select the FortiEDR Jumpbox that will communicate with FortiAnalyzer or FortiAnalyzer Cloud.

So, the FortiEDR component associated with JumpBox capability is the Core. The Central Manager must have connectivity to Fortinet Cloud Services, but it is not the component configured as the JumpBox. The Aggregator handles registration, configuration, and monitoring between Collectors/Cores and Central Manager, and the Reputation Server is unrelated to FortiAnalyzer JumpBox communication in this context.
