[All FCP_FWB_AD-7.4 Questions]

An attacker attempts to send an SQL injection attack containing the known attack string 'root'; -- through an API call.

Which FortiWeb inspection feature will be able to detect this attack the quickest?

AAPI gateway rule

BKnown signatures

CMachine learning (ML)-based API protection---anomaly detection

DML-based API protection---threat detection

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The quickest detection for an SQL injection attack like the one described ('root'; --) would be through known signatures. FortiWeb utilizes signature-based detection to match incoming traffic against predefined attack patterns. Since SQL injection attacks are commonly known and have specific patterns (such as 'root'; --), known signatures would immediately recognize and flag this type of attack.

I remember studying that known signatures are often the quickest way to detect specific attacks like SQL injection.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to review the differences between the API protection features to determine which one is best suited for detecting this specific attack.

Okay, let me think this through. The attack string is known, so I'm guessing a signature-based detection feature would be the fastest way to identify it.

Ah, I've seen these SQL injection questions before. I think the key is to identify the FortiWeb feature that specializes in detecting known attack signatures.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to carefully consider the different FortiWeb inspection features and how they might handle this type of attack.

This looks like a straightforward SQL injection detection question. I'll focus on identifying the FortiWeb feature that can detect the known attack string the quickest.

I agree with Louis, ML-based anomaly detection would be the quickest to detect the SQL injection attack.
