NSE 4 – FortiGate 7.0 — Question 24

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

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Intrusion prevention system engine on the FortiGate NGFW is specifically designed to manage application control traffic, ensuring that malicious activities are blocked effectively. The other engines, while important for different security functions, do not focus on application control; the Detection engine is for identifying threats, the Flow engine manages traffic flows, and the Antivirus engine targets malware.
