NSE 4 – FortiGate 7.2 — Question 22

Which statement is correct regarding the use of application control for inspecting web applications?

Answer options

• A. Application control can identify child and parent applications, and perform different actions on them.
• B. Application control signatures are organized in a nonhierarchical structure.
• C. Application control does not require SSL inspection to identify web applications.
• D. Application control does not display a replacement message for a blocked web application.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because application control can indeed differentiate between parent and child applications and take specific actions based on that identification. Options B and C are incorrect as application control signatures are usually hierarchical, and SSL inspection is often required for accurate identification. Option D is also wrong because application control can provide a replacement message for blocked applications.
