Which FortiWeb feature allows an administrator to discover API endpoints by analyzing application traffic before creating API protection rules?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> API discovery<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Static routing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Web cache<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SSL offloading<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. API discovery<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">API discovery analyzes observed application traffic to identify API endpoints and their characteristics. This capability helps administrators understand which APIs are actually being used before defining more specific protection policies. Instead of manually entering every endpoint, administrators can use discovered information as a basis for creating API protection rules. This is particularly useful in environments where APIs are numerous, frequently updated, or poorly documented. Static routing, web caching, and SSL offloading perform different networking or application-delivery functions and do not provide API endpoint discovery. API discovery therefore supports a more informed and structured approach to protecting web APIs with FortiWeb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 342. An administrator wants FortiWeb to protect a web application from SQL injection attacks. Which security feature should be configured?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> IP reputation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> HTTP protocol constraints<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Signature-based protection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Server load balancing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 3. Signature-based protection<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FortiWeb uses attack signatures to identify known patterns associated with threats such as SQL injection. When a request matches a configured SQL injection signature, FortiWeb can take the action specified by the associated policy, such as blocking or logging the request. Signature-based protection is therefore an important component of web application security against recognized attack patterns. IP reputation focuses on identifying potentially malicious source addresses, while HTTP protocol constraints enforce valid protocol behavior. Server load balancing distributes traffic among backend servers and does not itself detect SQL injection attempts. Properly configured signatures provide a targeted mechanism for identifying common web application attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 343. Which FortiWeb component is responsible for determining how matching security events should be handled, such as blocking, monitoring, or allowing traffic?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Certificate<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Action<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Backend server<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DNS record<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 2. Action<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In FortiWeb security policies, the configured action determines what FortiWeb does when traffic matches the relevant security condition. Depending on the feature and policy configuration, an action can instruct FortiWeb to block, alert, log, or otherwise handle matching traffic. This separation between detection and response allows administrators to decide how aggressively a security control should be enforced. Certificates provide cryptographic identity for secure connections, backend servers receive application requests, and DNS records provide name-resolution information. None of these directly determines the response to a detected security event. Selecting an appropriate action is therefore an important part of implementing effective FortiWeb protection policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 344. Which FortiWeb feature can help identify whether a client IP address is associated with known malicious activity?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> IP reputation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> URL rewriting<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> HTTP compression<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Web cache<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. IP reputation<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IP reputation evaluates client IP addresses against reputation information associated with known malicious or suspicious activity. FortiWeb can use this information as part of its security decision-making process to identify potentially hostile sources before they reach protected applications. This can help reduce exposure to traffic originating from known bad addresses. URL rewriting modifies requested URLs, HTTP compression changes how content is transferred, and web caching improves content delivery by storing frequently requested resources. These features do not primarily evaluate the reputation of source IP addresses. IP reputation is therefore the appropriate FortiWeb capability for this requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 345. An administrator needs to terminate HTTPS connections at FortiWeb and then forward decrypted HTTP traffic to backend servers. Which function provides this capability?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Web application firewall signatures<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SSL\/TLS offloading<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> IP reputation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cookie security<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 2. SSL\/TLS offloading<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SSL\/TLS offloading allows FortiWeb to terminate encrypted client connections and handle the cryptographic processing at the FortiWeb device. After the HTTPS session is terminated, FortiWeb can inspect the decrypted application traffic and forward it toward backend servers according to the configured deployment and security policies. This can also enable security inspection that would otherwise be difficult to perform on encrypted traffic. Web application firewall signatures detect application-layer threats, IP reputation evaluates source addresses, and cookie security protects session-related information. SSL\/TLS offloading is therefore the appropriate function when FortiWeb must terminate HTTPS connections before forwarding traffic to application servers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 346. Which FortiWeb deployment mode places the appliance inline so that traffic passes through FortiWeb before reaching the protected server?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Offline monitoring<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Reverse proxy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Packet capture<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Log-only mode<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 2. Reverse proxy<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In reverse-proxy deployment, FortiWeb is positioned between clients and backend application servers and receives client requests on behalf of those servers. It can inspect the requests, apply configured security controls, and then forward permitted traffic to the appropriate backend system. This inline architecture allows FortiWeb to actively enforce web application security policies rather than simply observe traffic. Offline monitoring and packet capture are primarily associated with visibility or analysis, while log-only behavior does not describe the fundamental traffic architecture. Reverse proxy deployment is therefore commonly used when FortiWeb must actively inspect and control traffic destined for protected web applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 347. What is the primary purpose of a FortiWeb server policy?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To define the relationship between incoming traffic and protected web servers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To configure FortiGate routing tables<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To manage administrator passwords<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To create DNS zones<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. To define the relationship between incoming traffic and protected web servers<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A FortiWeb server policy determines how incoming client traffic is associated with a protected application or backend server configuration. It provides the framework through which FortiWeb can receive requests, apply relevant protection settings, and forward permitted traffic to the appropriate destination. This makes server policies a key component of a reverse-proxy deployment. FortiGate routing tables belong to routing functions on FortiGate, administrator password management is part of administrative security, and DNS zones are handled by DNS services. Understanding server policies is important because they connect client-facing traffic with the protected application infrastructure and associated FortiWeb security controls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 348. Which FortiWeb capability helps prevent attackers from using automated tools to repeatedly submit requests to a protected application?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Rate limiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DNS forwarding<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Certificate enrollment<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Static routing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. Rate limiting<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rate limiting controls how frequently requests can be sent to a protected application or resource. By restricting excessive request rates, FortiWeb can reduce the impact of automated activity such as abusive clients, request floods, and certain forms of application-layer denial-of-service behavior. Rate limits can be designed around specific traffic characteristics and application requirements so legitimate users are less likely to be affected. DNS forwarding resolves or forwards DNS requests, certificate enrollment supports certificate management, and static routing controls packet forwarding paths. These functions do not directly regulate application request frequency. Rate limiting is therefore the appropriate capability for controlling excessive automated request activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 349. Which FortiWeb feature can protect against attempts to manipulate cookies used by a web application?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Web cache<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cookie security<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Server load balancing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> IP forwarding<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 2. Cookie security<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cookie security provides controls for protecting cookies used by web applications. Cookies can contain information related to user sessions, authentication, or application state, making them an important security consideration. FortiWeb can apply cookie-related protections to help prevent unauthorized manipulation or misuse of cookie information. Web caching is intended to improve content delivery, server load balancing distributes application traffic across backend servers, and IP forwarding concerns packet forwarding rather than cookie protection. When an administrator needs to strengthen the security of application cookies, the appropriate FortiWeb capability is cookie security. Its configuration should be aligned with the application&#8217;s legitimate cookie behavior to avoid disrupting valid sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 350. An administrator wants FortiWeb to distribute client requests across several backend web servers. Which feature should be configured?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Server load balancing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> IP reputation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SQL injection detection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> URL access control<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. Server load balancing<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Server load balancing distributes incoming application requests across multiple backend servers according to the configured balancing method and server availability. This can improve application scalability and availability by preventing a single backend server from handling all incoming traffic. FortiWeb can monitor backend servers and use configured policies to determine where permitted requests should be forwarded. IP reputation evaluates source addresses, SQL injection detection identifies malicious application input, and URL access control determines whether requested resources are permitted. These security functions do not primarily distribute traffic between backend systems. Server load balancing is therefore the appropriate feature for distributing client requests across multiple web servers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 351. Which HTTP method is commonly associated with retrieving a resource without modifying it on the server?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DELETE<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> POST<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> GET<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> PATCH<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 3. GET<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The HTTP GET method is generally used to request or retrieve a resource from a server without intending to modify the resource. Web applications commonly use GET requests when clients request pages, images, documents, or API resources. POST is typically used to submit data for processing or create a resource, DELETE requests removal of a resource, and PATCH is commonly used for partial modification. Understanding HTTP methods is important when configuring FortiWeb policies because administrators may need to control which methods are permitted for particular URLs or applications. Restricting unnecessary methods can reduce the application&#8217;s exposed attack surface while preserving required functionality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 352. Which FortiWeb feature can enforce restrictions on which HTTP methods are permitted for a protected application?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> HTTP method enforcement<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DNS caching<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Server certificate generation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Static NAT<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. HTTP method enforcement<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HTTP method enforcement allows administrators to control which HTTP methods can be used when accessing protected web applications. An application may only require a limited set of methods, and blocking unnecessary methods can reduce opportunities for misuse. For example, an application that only requires GET and POST may not need methods such as DELETE or TRACE. FortiWeb can apply appropriate restrictions according to the application&#8217;s requirements. DNS caching and server certificate generation serve different purposes, while static NAT concerns address translation. HTTP method enforcement therefore provides a direct mechanism for controlling the HTTP operations that clients can perform against protected applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 353. What is the main purpose of URL access control in FortiWeb?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To determine which requested URLs clients are permitted to access<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To encrypt all database connections<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To assign IP addresses to clients<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To synchronize system clocks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. To determine which requested URLs clients are permitted to access<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">URL access control allows FortiWeb administrators to define rules governing access to specific URLs or application resources. This can be useful when certain paths should only be available to authorized users, specific clients, or particular traffic conditions. By controlling access at the URL level, administrators can restrict exposure of sensitive or unnecessary application resources. Database encryption, IP address assignment, and time synchronization are unrelated functions. URL access control should be designed according to the application&#8217;s legitimate URL structure and access requirements. Proper configuration can help prevent unauthorized requests from reaching sensitive application areas while allowing normal access to publicly available resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 354. Which FortiWeb feature can detect and block malicious input designed to execute operating-system commands through a vulnerable web application?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Web cache<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Command injection protection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SSL certificate renewal<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Load balancing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 2. Command injection protection<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Command injection protection is designed to identify malicious input intended to cause a vulnerable application to execute unauthorized operating-system commands. Such attacks can occur when an application passes untrusted user input to system commands without adequate validation or sanitization. FortiWeb can use application-layer security controls and signatures to detect patterns associated with command injection and take the configured protective action. Web caching improves content delivery, certificate renewal manages cryptographic credentials, and load balancing distributes traffic across backend systems. Command injection protection therefore addresses the specific threat described and is an important control for applications that process user-supplied input.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 355. An administrator wants FortiWeb to log security events for analysis without immediately blocking matching requests. Which action is most appropriate?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Block<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Redirect<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Alert or monitor<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Reset connection<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 3. Alert or monitor<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An alert or monitor-oriented action allows administrators to observe matching traffic and record relevant security events without immediately enforcing a blocking response. This approach can be useful during policy deployment, troubleshooting, or tuning, especially when administrators need to understand normal application behavior before enabling stricter enforcement. Blocking would prevent the request, while redirecting changes the request&#8217;s destination and resetting the connection terminates the session. Monitoring should still be combined with appropriate logging and analysis so administrators can determine whether detected activity represents legitimate traffic or an actual threat. Once the policy has been validated, administrators can adjust the action if stronger enforcement is required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 356. Which FortiWeb capability can help protect a web application by validating whether submitted parameters conform to expected formats and values?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Parameter validation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DNS forwarding<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Traffic mirroring<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hardware inventory<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. Parameter validation<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parameter validation helps ensure that application parameters contain values consistent with expected formats, types, or ranges. This can reduce the opportunity for attackers to submit unexpected or malicious input through application fields and URL parameters. Effective validation is particularly useful for applications with predictable parameter structures, such as numeric identifiers or predefined values. DNS forwarding and hardware inventory are unrelated to application input validation, while traffic mirroring duplicates traffic for monitoring purposes. Parameter validation should be designed carefully so legitimate application requests continue to work while malformed or suspicious values are rejected or handled according to the configured policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 357. Which FortiWeb mechanism can use previously observed application behavior to help establish a baseline for legitimate traffic?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Machine learning-based anomaly detection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Static DNS entries<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Interface renaming<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Manual routing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. Machine learning-based anomaly detection<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Machine learning-based anomaly detection can analyze observed application behavior and establish patterns associated with normal traffic. Once a baseline has been developed, deviations from expected behavior can be identified for further investigation or enforcement, depending on the configuration. This approach can complement signature-based security because it does not rely exclusively on previously defined attack patterns. Static DNS entries, interface renaming, and manual routing do not perform behavioral analysis of application traffic. Administrators should understand the application&#8217;s normal behavior and tune detection appropriately because legitimate changes in traffic patterns can otherwise produce alerts. Behavioral analysis is particularly useful for identifying unusual activity that may not match a known signature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 358. Which FortiWeb feature is specifically intended to protect against cross-site scripting attacks?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> XSS protection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Server load balancing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DNS resolution<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SSL certificate storage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. XSS protection<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cross-site scripting, or XSS, occurs when attackers cause malicious script content to be processed in a victim&#8217;s browser through a vulnerable web application. XSS protection in FortiWeb helps identify requests or content patterns associated with this type of attack and can apply the configured security action. Depending on the policy, suspicious traffic may be logged, alerted on, or blocked. Server load balancing distributes traffic, DNS resolution handles name-to-address mapping, and certificate storage supports cryptographic credentials. XSS protection therefore directly addresses the web application threat described. Proper configuration should consider the application&#8217;s legitimate input and output behavior to reduce unnecessary false positives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 359. What is the purpose of a web application firewall signature in FortiWeb?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To identify known patterns associated with application-layer attacks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To allocate VLAN IDs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To configure administrator accounts<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To synchronize firmware files<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. To identify known patterns associated with application-layer attacks<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Web application firewall signatures contain patterns or rules used to identify traffic associated with known application-layer attacks. FortiWeb can inspect HTTP or HTTPS application traffic and compare relevant content against configured signatures. When a match occurs, the associated policy action determines how the event is handled. This approach can help detect threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and other recognized attack techniques. VLAN allocation, administrator account configuration, and firmware synchronization serve different administrative or networking purposes. Signature-based inspection is therefore a fundamental FortiWeb security mechanism for detecting known malicious application traffic and enforcing the response defined by the administrator.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 360. An administrator needs to ensure that FortiWeb forwards requests only to healthy backend servers. Which capability should be configured?<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Health checks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> URL encoding<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cookie signing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> IP reputation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Correct Answer: 1. Health checks<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Explanation :-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health checks allow FortiWeb to monitor the availability or responsiveness of backend servers and determine whether they are suitable destinations for application traffic. When a backend server fails the configured health check, FortiWeb can avoid sending new requests to that server, depending on the deployment and load-balancing configuration. This helps improve application availability and prevents traffic from being unnecessarily directed toward unavailable systems. URL encoding changes how URLs represent characters, cookie signing protects cookie integrity, and IP reputation evaluates source addresses. Health checks therefore provide the mechanism needed to identify backend server availability and support reliable traffic distribution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View Full Fortinet NSE5_FWB_AD-8.0 Exam Dumps and Practice Test Dumps &nbsp; Question 341.
