Fortinet NSE7_SOC_AR-7.6 Exam - Topic 1 Question 6 Discussion

Understanding Automation Processes in FortiAnalyzer:

FortiAnalyzer can automate responses to detected security events, such as running commands on FortiGate devices.

Analyzing the Customer Requirement:

The customer wants to run a CLI command on FortiGate to block predefined URLs when a botnet C&C server IP is detected.

This requires an automated response triggered by a specific event.

Evaluating the Options:

Option A: Playbooks orchestrate complex workflows but are not typically used for direct event-triggered automation processes.

Option B: Data selectors filter logs based on criteria but do not initiate automation processes.

Option C: Event handlers can be configured to detect specific events (such as detecting a botnet C&C server IP) and trigger automation stitches to execute predefined actions.

Option D: Connectors facilitate communication between FortiAnalyzer and other systems but are not the primary mechanism for initiating automation based on log events.

Conclusion:

To start the automation process when a botnet C&C server IP is detected, you must use an Event handler in FortiAnalyzer.
