NSE 4 – FortiGate 5.4 — Question 14

Which component of FortiOS performs application control inspection?

Answer options

• A. Kernel
• B. Antivirus engine
• C. IPS engine
• D. Application control engine

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, the IPS engine, as it is specifically designed to analyze and control application traffic. The Kernel is the core of the operating system, while the Antivirus engine focuses on malware detection, and the Application control engine, although related, does not perform the primary inspection role.
