NSE7_ZTA-7.2 Exam Dumps - Fortinet NSE 7 - Zero Trust Access 7.2

In a ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) deployment, FortiClient EMS:

• A. Uses endpoint information to grant or deny access to the network: FortiClient EMS plays a critical role in ZTNA by using information about the endpoint, such as its security posture and compliance status, to determine whether to grant or deny network access.

The other options do not accurately represent the role of FortiClient EMS in ZTNA:

• B. Provides network and user identity authentication services: While it contributes to the overall ZTNA strategy, FortiClient EMS itself does not directly provide authentication services.
• C. Generates and installs client certificates on managed endpoints: Certificate management is typically handled by other components in the ZTNA framework.
• D. Acts as ZTNA access proxy for managed endpoints: FortiClient EMS does not function as an access proxy; its role is more aligned with endpoint management and policy enforcement.

Based on the exhibit showing the status of the hr endpoint, the true statement about this endpoint is:

• D. The endpoint has been marked at risk: The "w" next to the host status for the 'hr' endpoint typically denotes a warning, indicating that the system has marked it as at risk due to some security policy violations or other concerns that need to be addressed.

The other options do not align with

the provided symbol "w" in the context of FortiNAC:

• A. The endpoint is a rogue device: If the endpoint were rogue, we might expect a different symbol, often indicating a critical status or alarm.
• B. The endpoint is disabled: A disabled status is typically indicated by a different icon or status indicator.
• C. The endpoint is unauthenticated: An unauthenticated status would also be represented by a different symbol or status indication, not a "w".

 Based on the exhibit, the true statements about the hr endpoint are:

• B. The endpoint is marked as a rogue device: The "w" symbol typically indicates a warning or an at-risk status, which can be associated with an endpoint being marked as rogue due to failing to meet the security compliance requirements or other reasons.
• C. The endpoint has failed the compliance scan: The "w" symbol can also signify that the endpoint has failed a compliance scan, which is a common reason for an endpoint to be marked as at risk.

Endpoint compliance is defined in the policy configuration stage of FortiNAC. Endpoint compliance policies specify which endpoint compliance configuration and user/host profile are applied to a host based on its location, user, and device type. Endpoint compliance configurations define whether a host is required to download an agent and undergo a scan, permitted access with no scan, or denied access. The scan parameters and security actions are also configured in the endpoint compliance configurations. Therefore, to define endpoint compliance, you need to create and assign endpoint compliance policies and configurations in the policy configuration stage of FortiNAC. References := https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortinac/9.4.0/administration-guide/985922/endpoint-compliance-policies

Fortinet ZTNA solution is a zero-trust network access approach that provides secure and granular access to applications hosted anywhere, for users working from anywhere. The three core products that are mandatory in the Fortinet ZTNA solution are:

• FortiClient EMS: This is the central management console that orchestrates the ZTNA policies and provides visibility and control over the endpoints and devices. It also integrates with FortiAuthenticator for identity verification and FortiAnalyzer for reporting and analytics.
• FortiClient: This is the endpoint agent that supports ZTNA, VPN, endpoint protection, and vulnerability scanning. It establishes encrypted tunnels with the ZTNA proxy on the FortiGate and provides device posture and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities.
• FortiGate: This is the next-generation firewall that acts as the ZTNA proxy and enforces the ZTNA policies based on user identity, device posture, and application context. It also provides security inspection and threat prevention for the ZTNA traffic.
