What is a drawback of deploying a FortiWeb VM inside a virtual public cloud (VPC) compared to FortiWeb Cloud?

AIt is unable to support web applications from OWASP Top 10 threats.

BIt does not support zero-day protection.

CIt is slower than FortiWeb Cloud to apply advanced WAF protection.

DOnly applications going through the VPC are protected.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B

DNS Configuration:

For FortiWeb Cloud to effectively protect web applications, the DNS records for the application servers must be configured to point to FortiWeb Cloud. This ensures that all incoming traffic is routed through FortiWeb Cloud for inspection and protection (Option A).

Traffic Filtering:

FortiWeb Cloud provides robust protection by filtering incoming traffic to block the OWASP Top 10 attacks, zero-day threats, and other application layer attacks. This ensures the security and integrity of the web applications it protects (Option B).

Other Options Analysis:

Option C is incorrect because FortiWeb Cloud can protect application servers across different VPCs or regions, not just within the same VPC.

Option D is incorrect because step 2 does not require an AWS S3 bucket; it refers to the inspection and filtering of incoming traffic.

Hmm, maybe they're trying to trick us with these options. I bet the real answer is that the VM version can't do backflips or play the banjo. Better double-check the manual on that one!

I'm going to have to go with D. Limiting protection to just the VPC is a clear drawback compared to the broader coverage of FortiWeb Cloud.

C seems a bit questionable. I'd expect the performance of a FortiWeb VM to be comparable, if not better, than the cloud version in many cases.

I'm not sure about B - FortiWeb should be able to provide zero-day protection regardless of whether it's a VM or cloud-based solution.

Option D seems logical, as a FortiWeb VM deployed within a VPC would only protect applications that go through that VPC, unlike FortiWeb Cloud which can protect any web application.
