FortiClient EMS 7.4 case: An analyst sees a FortiGate automation stitch trigger but assumes the managed host is isolated without checking its agent status. Which immediate corrective action best addresses the observed problem?
Require an explicit quarantine acknowledgement from the managed agent and verify enforced network isolation. Technical basis: An automation trigger or queued request does not independently prove the endpoint has enforced isolation. Confirm by checking whether eMS and FortiClient both show the expected isolated state and a controlled prohibited connection fails.
Include supported FortiAnalyzer logging in the managed endpoint profile and verify the full detection pipeline. This is a response to a different condition, quarantine logging prerequisites, under the same Fortinet exam task.
