NSE 4 – FortiGate 6.4 — Question 95

Which engine handles application control traffic on the next-generation firewall (NGFW) FortiGate?

Answer options

• A. Antivirus engine
• B. Intrusion prevention system engine
• C. Flow engine
• D. Detection engine

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) engine is specifically designed to analyze and manage application control traffic effectively. The Antivirus engine (A) focuses on malware detection, the Flow engine (C) manages session flows without deep packet inspection, and the Detection engine (D) is used for identifying threats rather than controlling application traffic.
