NSE4_FGT-7.0 · Question #6

Which two inspection modes can you use to configure a firewall policy on a profile-based next- generation firewall (NGFW)? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. Proxy-based inspection C. Flow-based inspection. FortiGate firewall policies on a profile-based next-generation firewall (NGFW) can be configured to use either Proxy-based or Flow-based inspection modes to analyze traffic for security threats.

Why each option

FortiGate firewall policies on a profile-based next-generation firewall (NGFW) can be configured to use either Proxy-based or Flow-based inspection modes to analyze traffic for security threats.

AProxy-based inspectionCorrect

Proxy-based inspection works at the application layer, fully reconstructing traffic streams (e.g., HTTP, FTP) to provide deep content analysis for detecting sophisticated threats.

BCertificate inspection

Certificate inspection is a feature used for decrypting and inspecting SSL/TLS encrypted traffic, not a primary inspection mode for a firewall policy.

CFlow-based inspectionCorrect

Flow-based inspection analyzes traffic as it passes through the FortiGate without full content reconstruction, focusing on identifying threats efficiently using patterns and signatures within the data stream.

DFull Content inspection

Full Content inspection describes the depth of inspection rather than a configurable inspection mode; the available modes are Flow-based and Proxy-based.
