Fortinet FCP_FAZ_AN-7.4 FCP - FortiAnalyzer 7.4 Analyst Exam Practice Test

In the exhibit, the playbook configuration shows the analyst working with the "Attach Data" action within a playbook. Here’s a breakdown of key aspects:

Incident ID: This field is linked to the "Playbook Starter," which indicates that the playbook will attach data to an existing incident.

Attachment: The analyst is configuring an attachment by selecting Run_REPORT with a placeholder ID for report_uuid. This suggests that the report’s UUID will dynamically populate as part of the playbook execution.

Analysis of Options:

Option A - Creating a Trigger Variable:

A trigger variable would typically be set up in the playbook starter or initiation configuration, not within the "Attach Data" action. The setup here does not indicate a trigger, as it’s focusing on data attachment.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option B - Creating an Output Variable:

The field Attachment with a report_uuid placeholder suggests that the analyst is defining an output variable that will store the report data or ID, allowing it to be attached to the incident. This variable can then be referenced or passed within the playbook for further actions or reporting.

Conclusion: Correct.

Option C - Creating a Report in the Playbook:

While Run_REPORT is selected, it appears to be an attachment action rather than a report generation task. The purpose here is to attach an existing or dynamically generated report to an incident, not to create the report itself.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option D - Creating a SOC Report:

Similarly, this configuration is focused on attaching data, not specifically generating a SOC report. SOC reports are generally predefined and generated outside the playbook.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Conclusion:

Correct Answer: B. The analyst is trying to create an output variable to be used in the playbook.

The setup allows the playbook to dynamically assign the report_uuid as an output variable, which can then be used in further actions within the playbook.

When an incident in FortiAnalyzer is identified as a false positive and its status is updated to "Closed: False Positive," certain records and logs are updated to reflect this change.

Option A - The Audit History Log Will Be Updated:

FortiAnalyzer maintains an audit history log that records changes to incidents, including updates to their status. When an incident status is marked as "Closed: False Positive," this action is logged in the audit history to ensure traceability of changes. This log provides accountability and a record of how incidents have been handled over time.

Conclusion: Correct.

Option B - The Corresponding Event Will Be Marked as Mitigated:

Changing an incident to "Closed: False Positive" does not affect the status of the original event itself. Marking an incident as a false positive signifies that it does not represent a real threat, but it does not imply that the event has been mitigated.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option C - The Incident Will Be Deleted:

Marking an incident as "Closed: False Positive" does not delete the incident from FortiAnalyzer. Instead, it updates the status to reflect that it is not a real threat, allowing for historical analysis and preventing similar false positives in the future. Deletion would typically only occur manually or by a different administrative action.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option D - The Incident Number Will Be Changed:

The incident number is a unique identifier and does not change when the status of the incident is updated. This identifier remains constant throughout the incident's lifecycle for tracking and reference purposes.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Conclusion:

Correct Answer: A. The audit history log will be updated.

This is the most accurate answer, as the update to "Closed: False Positive" is recorded in FortiAnalyzer’s audit history log for accountability and tracking purposes.

When using FortiAnalyzer to create playbooks that interact with FortiOS devices, an Incoming Webhook trigger is required on the FortiGate side to make the actions in an automation stitch accessible through the FortiOS connector. The incoming webhook trigger allows FortiAnalyzer to initiate actions on FortiGate by sending HTTP POST requests to specified endpoints, which in turn trigger automation stitches defined on the FortiGate.

Here’s an analysis of each option:

Option A: FortiAnalyzer Event Handler

This is incorrect. The FortiAnalyzer Event Handler is used within FortiAnalyzer itself for handling log events and alerts, but it does not trigger automation stitches on FortiGate.

Option B: Fabric Connector event

This is incorrect. Fabric Connector events are related to Fortinet's Security Fabric integrations but are not specifically used to trigger FortiGate automation stitches from FortiAnalyzer.

Option C: FortiOS Event Log

This is incorrect. While FortiOS event logs can be used for monitoring, they are not designed to trigger automation stitches directly from FortiAnalyzer.

Option D: Incoming webhook

This is correct. The Incoming Webhook trigger on FortiGate enables it to receive requests from FortiAnalyzer, allowing playbooks to activate automation stitches defined on the FortiGate device. This method is commonly used to integrate actions from FortiAnalyzer to FortiGate via the FortiOS connector.

References: According to FortiOS and FortiAnalyzer documentation, when integrating FortiAnalyzer playbooks with FortiGate automation stitches, the recommended trigger type on FortiGate is an Incoming Webhook, allowing FortiAnalyzer to interact with FortiGate’s automation framework through the FortiOS connector​.

The requirement here is to construct a SQL query that retrieves logs with specific fields, namely "Source IP" and "Destination Port," for entries where the source IP address matches 10.0.1.10. The correct syntax is essential for selecting, filtering, ordering, and grouping the results as shown in the expected outcome.

Analysis of the Options:

Option A Explanation:

SELECT srcip AS "Source IP", dstport AS "Destination Port": This syntax selects srcip and dstport, renaming them to "Source IP" and "Destination Port" respectively in the output.

FROM $log: Specifies the log table as the data source.

WHERE $filter AND srcip = '10.0.1.10': This line filters logs to only include entries with srcip equal to 10.0.1.10.

ORDER BY dstport DESC: Orders the results in descending order by dstport.

GROUP BY srcip, dstport: Groups results by srcip and dstport, which is valid SQL syntax.

This option meets all the requirements to get the expected results accurately.

Option B Explanation:

WHERE $filter AND Source IP != '10.0.1.10': Uses != instead of =. This would exclude logs from the specified IP 10.0.1.10, which is contrary to the expected result.

Option C Explanation:

The ORDER BY clause appears before the FROM clause, which is incorrect syntax. SQL requires the FROM clause to follow the SELECT clause directly.

Option D Explanation:

The GROUP BY clause should follow the FROM clause. However, here, it’s located after WHERE, making it syntactically incorrect.

Conclusion:

Correct Answer: A. Option A

This option aligns perfectly with standard SQL syntax and filters correctly for srcip = '10.0.1.10', while ordering and grouping as required.

FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 SQL query capabilities and syntax for report customization.

In this exhibit, we observe a search query on the FortiAnalyzer interface displaying log data with details about the connection events, including fields like date, srcip, dstip, service, and dstintf. This setup allows for several functionalities within FortiAnalyzer.

Option A - Download Capability:

FortiAnalyzer provides the option to download search results and reports to a file in multiple formats, such as CSV or PDF, allowing for further offline analysis or archival. This makes it possible to save the search results shown in the exhibit to a file.

Conclusion: Correct.

Option B - Sorting and Customization:

The FortiAnalyzer interface allows users to sort and customize columns for search results. This helps in organizing and viewing the logs in a manner that fits the analyst's needs, such as ordering logs by time, srcip, dstip, or other fields.

Conclusion: Correct.

Option C - Availability in FortiView:

FortiView is a tool within FortiAnalyzer that visualizes data and provides analysis capabilities, including traffic and security event logs. Since these are traffic logs, they are typically available for visualization and analysis within FortiView.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option D - Text Mode Search:

The search displayed here appears to be in a structured format, which implies it might be utilizing filters rather than a free-text search. FortiAnalyzer allows both structured searches and text searches, but there's no indication here that text mode was used.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Conclusion:

Correct Answer: A. They can be downloaded to a file. and B. They are sortable by columns and customizable.

These options are consistent with FortiAnalyzer's capabilities for managing, exporting, and customizing log data.

FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 documentation on search, export functionalities, and customizable views.

The exhibit displays a diagnose log device output on a FortiAnalyzer, showing details about disk space usage and quotas for different FortiGate devices and ADOMs (Administrative Domains). Here’s a breakdown of key details:

Disk Quota for Quarantined Files:

The output includes columns labeled for used space in categories such as "logs," "quarantine," "content," and "DB." For each device, the quarantine column consistently shows 0.0KB used, indicating that there is no disk quota allocated or utilized for quarantining files.

Conclusion: Correct.

FGT_B as Security Fabric Root:

There is no direct indication from this output that specifies FGT_B is the root of the Security Fabric. Information on Security Fabric topology or root designation would typically come from a Security Fabric configuration command rather than a disk usage summary.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Allocated Disk Quota for ADOM1:

The output shows the quota for ADOM1 is "unlimited," not a fixed 3 GB quota. Therefore, there is no set 3 GB limit for ADOM1.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Comparison of Archive Logs and Analytic Logs:

The output does not differentiate between archive logs and analytic logs; it only shows overall disk usage by type (e.g., logs, quarantine). Therefore, no conclusion can be made about which type of logs (archive or analytic) is using more space.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Conclusion:

Correct Answer: A. There is no disk quota allocated to quarantining files.

This answer aligns with the observed data, where no disk space is used or allocated for quarantine files.

References:

FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 documentation on diagnose log device command usage and disk quota settings.

FortiAnalyzer manages and stores various types of logs, including local logs, across different ADOMs (Administrative Domains). Each type of log serves specific purposes, with some logs being ADOM-specific and others providing system-wide information.

Option A - Local Logs Not Supported in FortiView:

Local logs are indeed supported in FortiView. FortiView provides visibility and analytics for different log types across the system, including local logs, allowing users to view and analyze data efficiently.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option B - Playbook Logs for All ADOMs in the Root ADOM:

FortiAnalyzer allows centralized viewing of playbook logs across all ADOMs from the root ADOM. This feature provides an overarching view of playbook executions, facilitating easier monitoring and management for administrators.

Conclusion: Correct.

Option C - Event Logs vs. Application Logs:

Event Logs provide information about system-wide events, such as login attempts, configuration changes, and other critical activities that impact the overall system. These logs apply across the FortiAnalyzer instance.

Application Logs are more specific to individual ADOMs, capturing details that pertain to ADOM-specific applications and configurations.

Conclusion: Correct.

Option D - Event Logs Only in Root ADOM:

Event logs are available across different ADOMs, not exclusively in the root ADOM. They capture system-wide events, but they can be accessed within specific ADOM contexts as needed.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Conclusion:

Correct Answer: B. You can view playbook logs for all ADOMs in the root ADOM and C. Event logs show system-wide information, whereas application logs are ADOM specific.

These answers correctly describe the characteristics and visibility of local logs within FortiAnalyzer.

The FortiSOAR management extension is designed as an independent security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solution that integrates with other Fortinet products but requires its own dedicated device or virtual machine (VM) environment. FortiSOAR is not natively integrated as a container or service within FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager, and it operates separately to manage complex security workflows and incident responses across various platforms.

Let’s examine each option to determine the correct answer:

Option A: It requires a FortiManager configured to manage FortiGate

This is incorrect. FortiSOAR operates independently of FortiManager. While FortiSOAR can receive input or data from FortiGate (often managed by FortiManager), it does not require FortiManager to be part of its setup.

Option B: It runs as a docker container on FortiAnalyzer

This is incorrect. FortiSOAR does not run as a container within FortiAnalyzer. It requires its own dedicated environment, either as a physical device or a virtual machine, due to the resource requirements and specialized functions it performs.

Option C: It requires a dedicated FortiSOAR device or VM

This is correct. FortiSOAR is deployed as a standalone device or VM, which enables it to handle the intensive processing needed for orchestrating security operations, integrating with third-party tools, and automating responses across an organization’s security infrastructure.

Option D: It does not include a limited trial by default

This is incorrect. FortiSOAR installations may come with trial options or demos in specific scenarios, especially for evaluation purposes. This depends on licensing and deployment policies.

References: The FortiSOAR platform, as outlined in Fortinet product documentation, is a standalone SOAR solution that requires a dedicated device or VM for deployment. It integrates with Fortinet’s Security Fabric but operates separately from FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, and FortiGate, focusing on advanced incident management and security automation​.
