NSE 4 – FortiGate 6.0 — Question 69

Which statement about FortiGuard services for FortiGate is true?

Answer options

• A. The web filtering database is downloaded locally on FortiGate.
• B. Antivirus signatures are downloaded locally on FortiGate.
• C. FortiGate downloads IPS updates using UDP port 53 or 8888.
• D. FortiAnalyzer can be configured as a local FDN to provide antivirus and IPS updates.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because antivirus signatures are indeed downloaded and stored on the FortiGate device to enable it to detect and mitigate threats effectively. Option A is incorrect as the web filtering database is not necessarily stored locally like antivirus signatures. Option C is inaccurate because FortiGate uses different ports for IPS updates, and option D is misleading since while FortiAnalyzer can assist in updating, it is not primarily configured for that purpose.
