NSE 6 – FortiWeb 6.1 — Question 20

What is one of the key benefits of the FortiGuard IP reputation feature?

Answer options

• A. It maintains a list of private IP addresses.
• B. It provides a document of IP addresses that are suspect, so that administrators can manually update their blacklists.
• C. It is updated once per year.
• D. It maintains a list of public IPs with a bad reputation for participating in attacks.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, highlights that the FortiGuard IP reputation feature tracks public IPs that have a history of malicious activity. Option A is incorrect because it refers to private IP addresses, which are not the focus of the feature. Option B is misleading as the feature automates updates rather than requiring manual intervention. Option C is wrong because the feature is regularly updated, not just once a year.
