Fortinet NSE6_FSM_AN-7.4 Practice Test Questions Answers

When an associated rule triggers, FortiSIEM performs all selected actions in the automation policy. In this case, it will send an email/SMS/webhook, run the remediation script, invoke the integration policy (even if none is currently defined), and create a case. All checked actions are executed.

The correct answer is B because FortiSIEM automation policies are designed to execute the actions selected in the policy when the policy criteria match. The FortiSIEM Study Guide states that automation policy actions define what occurs when policy criteria match. It lists possible automation actions such as sending an alert, invoking an integration policy, sending SNMP or HTTPS XML notifications, opening a remedy ticket or creating a FortiSIEM case, sending email or SMS, and running a remediation script. The same Study Guide explains that users can configure “any combination of actions.” Therefore, there is no single-action precedence rule where remediation overrides all other selected actions or email runs only because it appears first. If multiple action checkboxes are selected, FortiSIEM executes the configured selected actions according to the automation policy. In the exhibit, multiple actions are selected, including email/SMS/webhook, remediation/script, integration policy, and case creation. Option C is incorrect because the absence of a defined integration policy does not make FortiSIEM ignore the other selected actions. The policy runs the selected configured actions.

The correct answers are D. Run Remediation/Script and E. Run Playbook on Incident Trigger . FortiSIEM can block an IP address on a FortiGate through a remediation script or through a FortiSOAR playbook/connector workflow. The FortiSIEM Analyst Study Guide explains that for automatic remediation, you define a remediation script for a scenario, and that mitigation scripts can “block an IP address in a firewall” or disable a user in Active Directory. It also states that, when an automation policy is triggered and the remediation script option is enabled, FortiSIEM uses incident data and runs the script to quarantine or block the offending IP address on FortiGate.

FortiSIEM 7.4 also supports automatic playbook execution from an automation policy. The 7.4 User Guide states that under Admin > Settings > Automation Policy , you can choose Run Playbook on Incident Trigger and select a playbook. The same guide explains that FortiSOAR playbooks can call connectors, and the Fortinet FortiOS connector can perform actions such as Block IP Address on a FortiGate firewall.

Email, Remedy tickets, and generic integration policies are notification/ticketing workflows, not the direct FortiGate IP-block actions.

The automation policy is configured to run a remediation script named " Fortinet FortiOS - Block Source IP FortiOS via API " . It specifies enforcement on two FortiGate devices: FortiGate508 and FortiGate90D. Therefore, associated source IP addresses will be blocked on those two FortiGate firewalls only.

The correct answer is D because the remediation configuration defines specific enforcement targets. The FortiSIEM Study Guide explains that automation policies can run remediation scripts automatically when an incident occurs. It also explains the remediation options: Enforce On determines which devices the script runs against, while Run On identifies whether the script is launched from the supervisor or a collector. The Study Guide further states that mitigation scripts can block an IP address in a firewall or disable a user in Active Directory, and recommends specifying the Enforce On value because it controls the target device used by the remediation script. In the exhibit, the selected script is a Fortinet FortiOS block-source-IP remediation script, and the Enforce On field lists two FortiGate devices. That means the block action is targeted only at those two named FortiGate firewalls. The Aviation organization limits the automation policy context, but it does not mean every device in the organization receives the block. It is also not all FortiGate firewalls or the whole Network CMDB group.

The correct answer is B because the configuration groups results by Source IP and Destination IP , while using COUNT(Matched Events) as a display/aggregate value. FortiSIEM’s grouping logic combines events only when the selected Group By attributes match. The Study Guide explains that Group By attributes determine how matching events are placed into rows, and that when multiple events share the same grouped values, “they are grouped together in one row.” The count column then tracks the number of events represented by that row. In the exhibit, Source IP and Destination IP are the grouping fields, so FortiSIEM displays each unique connection pair once. The count shows how many matching allowed firewall connection events were seen for each pair. Option A is not correct because the exhibit does not show sorting by destination IP hit count. Option C ignores the source and destination grouping. Option D would require grouping by source IP alone or by distinct destination counts per source, which is not the shown configuration.

The operator is set to " = " , which performs an exact match on the entire raw event log, not a substring search. To find logs that contain the keyword " udp " , the analyst should use the CONTAIN operator instead. This will return all logs where " udp " appears anywhere in the raw log message.

The correct answer is D because the analyst is trying to search for raw logs that contain the keyword udp, but the filter uses the equality operator. The FortiSIEM Study Guide explains keyword searches in terms of Raw Event Log CONTAIN logic. In the keyword phrase search section, the guide states that without quotes, FortiSIEM searches raw event logs by using conditions such as Raw Event Log CONTAIN TCP OR Raw Event Log CONTAIN connection . Another analytics example explains that searching for TCP or UDP events uses the raw event log containing the keyword tcp or udp and that the search returns case-insensitive results for TCP and UDP. This directly eliminates option C. The time range is already set to the last two hours, which is correct for historical raw log searching. The problem is the operator. To find a keyword anywhere inside a raw log message, the analyst should use CONTAIN , not =.
