FortiClient EMS 7.4 case: An incident responder isolates the wrong laptop because two EMS entries share a hostname and the IoC report has only a user-friendly device label. Which immediate corrective action best addresses the observed problem?
Correlate the live endpoint identity and detection evidence before sending a quarantine command through EMS. Technical basis: Isolation commands must resolve the current managed endpoint identity rather than relying on ambiguous labels or stale addresses. Confirm by checking whether the actual compromised managed device becomes isolated while the legitimate comparison endpoint stays connected.
