NSE 5 – FortiEDR 5.0 — Question 43

With respect to operating FortiEDR, what does proactive risk mitigation refer to?

Answer options

• A. Automatically blocking users from installing unauthorized applications
• B. Automatically blocking endpoints from communicating to network resources
• C. Automatically blocking applications from communicating if they have a poor reputation or CVE score
• D. Automatically blocking communication from all applications unless they are specifically enabled

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, focuses on the automatic blocking of applications with poor reputations or CVE scores, which is essential for minimizing risk. Option A is incorrect as it specifically mentions users, which is not the focus of proactive risk mitigation. Option B is not accurate because it refers to endpoints rather than applications, while D implies a blanket restriction that is more restrictive than the targeted approach of C.
