NSE 4 – FortiGate 6.4 — Question 91

Which three statements about a flow-based antivirus profile are correct? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Flow-based inspection uses a hybrid of scanning modes available in proxy-based inspection
• B. Optimized performance compared to proxy-based inspection
• C. FortiGate buffers the whole file but transmits for the client simultaneously
• D. If the virus is detected, the last packet is delivered to the client
• E. IPS engine handles the process as a standalone

Correct answer: A, B, C

Explanation

Options A, B, and C accurately describe the characteristics of flow-based antivirus profiles, highlighting their hybrid scanning methods, performance benefits, and file handling. Option D is incorrect because in the event of a virus detection, the last packet is not delivered to the client, and Option E is wrong as the IPS engine does not operate as a standalone in this context.
