Which inspection mode does FortiGate use for application profiles if it is configured as a profile- based next-generation firewall (NGFW)?
The correct answer is B. Flow-based inspection. You can configure application control in proxy-based and flow-based firewall policies. However, because application control uses the IPS engine, which uses flow-based inspection, the INSPECTION is always flow-based.
