FCP – FortiWAN and Cloud Security Administrator 7.4 — Question 1

An administrator must deploy a web application firewall (WAF) solution to protect the web applications of their organization.
Why would the administrator choose FortiWeb Cloud over AWS WAF with Fortinet managed rules?

Answer options

• A. WAF signatures must be manually updated by FortiGuard.
• B. The solution must meet PCI 6.6 compliance.
• C. SSL inspection is a requirement.
• D. Traffic must be inspected for malware.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because FortiWeb Cloud offers SSL inspection capabilities, which is essential for securing encrypted traffic. The other options, while relevant to web application security, do not specifically highlight unique features of FortiWeb Cloud that would make it preferable over AWS WAF in this scenario.
