Fortinet NSE7_OTS-7.2 Exam - Topic 1 Question 27 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE7_OTS-7.2 exam

Question #: 27

AIntrusion prevention system (IPS)

BDeep packet inspection (DPI)

CAntivirus inspection

DApplication control

Wait, are we really using DPI for industrial controls? Sounds risky!

Antivirus inspection? Not sure that’s effective for PLCs.

I’m leaning towards IPS too, but I wonder if DPI could also play a role in identifying those industrial threats?

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like application control might not be enough for detecting PLC-specific exploits.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) being good for analyzing traffic in detail.

I think we might need to go with the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) since it can actively block threats, right?

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. An IPS is the security sensor that would be most effective at detecting and preventing the industrial exploits mentioned in the question.

Based on the Purdue model and the need to detect exploits affecting PLCs, I'd say the best choice here is an IPS. It's specifically designed to identify and prevent these types of industrial attacks.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is DPI also a good option, or is that more for general traffic inspection? I'll have to review the differences between these security sensors.

Okay, I think I know the answer to this one. An IPS would be the best option to detect these types of exploits, since it can analyze network traffic for known attack signatures.

Hmm, this question reminds me of the time I accidentally triggered the fire alarm at my old job by microwaving a Hot Pocket in the break room. Needless to say, the IPS was not amused.

This is a tough one, but I have to say, the IPS option is the way to go. I mean, who wants their PLCs to become the next target of a nasty industrial exploit? Not me, that's for sure!

Application control? Nah, that's more for managing and controlling the applications running on the network. Not really the right tool for detecting industrial exploits. Gotta go with the IPS on this one.

Antivirus? Really? I mean, sure, it can help catch some malware, but it's not really built for the kind of specialized industrial attacks we're talking about. I'd steer clear of that one.
