Fortinet FCP - FortiAnalyzer 7.4 Analyst FCP_FAZ_AN-7.4 Exam Practice Test

Answer : A, B

To view Compromised Hosts on FortiAnalyzer, certain configurations need to be in place on both FortiGate and FortiAnalyzer. Compromised Host data on FortiAnalyzer relies on log information from FortiGate to analyze threats and compromised activities effectively. Here's why the selected answers are correct:

Option A: Enable device detection on the FortiGate devices that are sending logs to FortiAnalyzer

Enabling device detection on FortiGate allows it to recognize and log devices within the network, sending critical information about hosts that could be compromised. This is essential because FortiAnalyzer relies on these logs to determine which hosts may be at risk based on suspicious activities observed by FortiGate. This setting enables FortiGate to provide device-level insights, which FortiAnalyzer uses to populate the Compromised Hosts view.

Option B: Enable web filtering in firewall policies on FortiGate devices, and make sure these logs are sent to FortiAnalyzer

Web filtering is crucial in identifying potentially compromised hosts since it logs any access to malicious sites or blocked categories. FortiAnalyzer uses these web filter logs to detect suspicious or malicious web activity, which can indicate compromised hosts. By ensuring that FortiGate sends these web filtering logs to FortiAnalyzer, the administrator enables FortiAnalyzer to analyze and identify hosts engaging in risky behavior.

Let's review the other options for clarity:

Option C: Make sure all endpoints are reachable by FortiAnalyzer

This is incorrect. FortiAnalyzer does not need direct access to all endpoints. Instead, it collects data indirectly from FortiGate logs. FortiGate devices are the ones that interact with endpoints and then forward relevant logs to FortiAnalyzer for analysis.

Option D: Subscribe FortiAnalyzer to FortiGuard to keep its local threat database up to date

Although subscribing to FortiGuard helps keep threat intelligence updated, it is not a requirement specifically to view compromised hosts. FortiAnalyzer primarily uses logs from FortiGate (such as web filtering and device detection) to detect compromised hosts.

Answer : B, C

Answer : A

The requirement here is to construct a SQL query that retrieves logs with specific fields, namely 'Source IP' and 'Destination Port,' for entries where the source IP address matches 10.0.1.10. The correct syntax is essential for selecting, filtering, ordering, and grouping the results as shown in the expected outcome.

Analysis of the Options:

Option A Explanation:

SELECT srcip AS 'Source IP', dstport AS 'Destination Port': This syntax selects srcip and dstport, renaming them to 'Source IP' and 'Destination Port' respectively in the output.

FROM $log: Specifies the log table as the data source.

WHERE $filter AND srcip = '10.0.1.10': This line filters logs to only include entries with srcip equal to 10.0.1.10.

ORDER BY dstport DESC: Orders the results in descending order by dstport.

GROUP BY srcip, dstport: Groups results by srcip and dstport, which is valid SQL syntax.

This option meets all the requirements to get the expected results accurately.

Option B Explanation:

WHERE $filter AND Source IP != '10.0.1.10': Uses != instead of =. This would exclude logs from the specified IP 10.0.1.10, which is contrary to the expected result.

Option C Explanation:

The ORDER BY clause appears before the FROM clause, which is incorrect syntax. SQL requires the FROM clause to follow the SELECT clause directly.

Option D Explanation:

The GROUP BY clause should follow the FROM clause. However, here, it's located after WHERE, making it syntactically incorrect.

Conclusion:

Correct Answe r : A. Option A

This option aligns perfectly with standard SQL syntax and filters correctly for srcip = '10.0.1.10', while ordering and grouping as required.

Answer : D

Option A - Purging Log Entries:

A SELECT query in SQL is used to retrieve data from a database and does not have the capability to delete or purge log entries. Purging logs typically requires a DELETE or TRUNCATE command.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option B - WHERE Clause Requirement:

In SQL, a SELECT query does not require a WHERE clause. The WHERE clause is optional and is used only when filtering results. A SELECT query can be executed without it, meaning this statement is false.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option C - Displaying Database Schema:

A SELECT query retrieves data from specified tables, but it is not used to display the structure or schema of the database. Commands like DESCRIBE, SHOW TABLES, or SHOW COLUMNS are typically used to view schema information.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option D - Usage in Macros:

FortiAnalyzer and similar systems often use macros for automated functions or specific query-based tasks. SELECT queries are typically not included in macros because macros focus on procedural or repetitive actions, rather than simple data retrieval.

Conclusion: Correct.

Conclusion:

Correct Answe r : D. They are not used in macros.

This aligns with typical SQL usage and the specific functionalities of FortiAnalyzer.

Answer : C

The FortiSOAR management extension is designed as an independent security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solution that integrates with other Fortinet products but requires its own dedicated device or virtual machine (VM) environment. FortiSOAR is not natively integrated as a container or service within FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager, and it operates separately to manage complex security workflows and incident responses across various platforms.

Let's examine each option to determine the correct answer:

Option A: It requires a FortiManager configured to manage FortiGate

This is incorrect. FortiSOAR operates independently of FortiManager. While FortiSOAR can receive input or data from FortiGate (often managed by FortiManager), it does not require FortiManager to be part of its setup.

Option B: It runs as a docker container on FortiAnalyzer

This is incorrect. FortiSOAR does not run as a container within FortiAnalyzer. It requires its own dedicated environment, either as a physical device or a virtual machine, due to the resource requirements and specialized functions it performs.

Option C: It requires a dedicated FortiSOAR device or VM

This is correct. FortiSOAR is deployed as a standalone device or VM, which enables it to handle the intensive processing needed for orchestrating security operations, integrating with third-party tools, and automating responses across an organization's security infrastructure.

Option D: It does not include a limited trial by default

This is incorrect. FortiSOAR installations may come with trial options or demos in specific scenarios, especially for evaluation purposes. This depends on licensing and deployment policies.

Answer : D

In FortiAnalyzer's SQL query syntax, the typical order for querying the database follows the standard SQL format, which is:

SELECT <column(s)> FROM <table> WHERE <condition(s)> GROUP BY <column(s)>

Option D correctly follows this structure:

SELECT devid FROM $log: This specifies that the query is selecting the devid column from the $log table.

WHERE 'user' = ': This part of the query is intended to filter results based on a condition involving the user column. Although there appears to be a minor typographical issue (possibly missing the user value after =), it structurally adheres to the correct SQL order.

GROUP BY devid: This groups the results by devid, which is correctly positioned at the end of the query.

Let's briefly examine why the other options are incorrect:

Option A: SELECT devid FROM $log GROUP BY devid WHERE 'user', 'users1'

This is incorrect because the GROUP BY clause appears before the WHERE clause, which is out of order in SQL syntax.

Option B: SELECT FROM $log WHERE devid 'user', USER1' GROUP BY devid

This is incorrect because it lacks a column in the SELECT statement and the WHERE clause syntax is malformed.

Option C: SELCT devid WHERE 'user' - 'USER1' FROM $log GROUP BY devid

This is incorrect because the SELECT keyword is misspelled as SELCT, and the WHERE condition syntax is invalid.

Answer : B

In the exhibit, the playbook configuration shows the analyst working with the 'Attach Data' action within a playbook. Here's a breakdown of key aspects:

Incident ID: This field is linked to the 'Playbook Starter,' which indicates that the playbook will attach data to an existing incident.

Attachment: The analyst is configuring an attachment by selecting Run_REPORT with a placeholder ID for report_uuid. This suggests that the report's UUID will dynamically populate as part of the playbook execution.

Analysis of Options:

Option A - Creating a Trigger Variable:

A trigger variable would typically be set up in the playbook starter or initiation configuration, not within the 'Attach Data' action. The setup here does not indicate a trigger, as it's focusing on data attachment.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option B - Creating an Output Variable:

The field Attachment with a report_uuid placeholder suggests that the analyst is defining an output variable that will store the report data or ID, allowing it to be attached to the incident. This variable can then be referenced or passed within the playbook for further actions or reporting.

Conclusion: Correct.

Option C - Creating a Report in the Playbook:

While Run_REPORT is selected, it appears to be an attachment action rather than a report generation task. The purpose here is to attach an existing or dynamically generated report to an incident, not to create the report itself.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Option D - Creating a SOC Report:

Similarly, this configuration is focused on attaching data, not specifically generating a SOC report. SOC reports are generally predefined and generated outside the playbook.

Conclusion: Incorrect.

Conclusion:

Correct Answe r : B. The analyst is trying to create an output variable to be used in the playbook.

The setup allows the playbook to dynamically assign the report_uuid as an output variable, which can then be used in further actions within the playbook.
