During a weekend failover rehearsal, engineers discover that a policy's IPS events look healthy although the targeted signature is configured for pass-through logging. What specific failure risk follows if the underlying fault remains?
Monitor-only behavior creates visibility without stopping the recognized exploit attempt. Signature detection and the selected IPS action are separate, allowing monitor-only or enforcing outcomes. The described exposure follows from leaving the IPS allow versus block mode dependency unresolved.
It would be a concern if trusted CA for deep inspection were misconfigured. Here Signature detection and the selected IPS action are separate, allowing monitor-only or enforcing outcomes. The selected alternative does not follow from the observed fault.
This describes a separate IPS false positive analysis failure. IPS event logs identify signature and action, enabling narrow exception decisions with evidence. It does not identify the most direct consequence of leaving IPS allow versus block mode unresolved.
That risk is associated with IPS high CPU investigation rather than the failing IPS allow versus block mode dependency. IPS inspection consumes compute; measured profile scope and signature relevance influence performance. The present scenario establishes a different causal exposure.
A post-incident review at a financial services branch identifies that an IPS sensor reports a malicious signature but the attack is not stopped because its action is monitor. The same control is still uncorrected. Which exposure should the risk register record?

At a multi-site university running FortiOS 7.6, a generic IPS sensor examines unrelated outbound media traffic while the actual vulnerable web server has no virtual patching. Which configuration or investigative change most directly resolves this issue?
Select relevant IPS signatures and severity filters for the specific protected service and exposure. IPS effectiveness depends on selecting the right signatures and applying them where the susceptible workload flows. This corrects the FortiGate behavior described by the specific IPS signature relevance fault.
This correction targets IPS allow versus block mode. Signature detection and the selected IPS action are separate, allowing monitor-only or enforcing outcomes. It does not repair the stated IPS signature relevance condition: a generic IPS sensor examines unrelated outbound media traffic while the actual vulnerable web server has no virtual patching.
The proposed setting concerns IPS false positive analysis, not the actual source of failure. IPS effectiveness depends on selecting the right signatures and applying them where the susceptible workload flows. It would leave the cited symptom unresolved.

It does not repair the stated IPS signature relevance condition: a generic IPS sensor examines unrelated outbound media traffic while the actual vulnerable web server has no virtual patching.
During an incident-response triage, an administrator enables hundreds of irrelevant attack signatures but omits the one protecting a published vulnerability. What should the FortiGate administrator change to meet the stated requirement?
Select relevant IPS signatures and severity filters for the specific protected service and exposure. IPS effectiveness depends on selecting the right signatures and applying them where the susceptible workload flows. This corrects the FortiGate behavior described by the specific IPS signature relevance fault.
Changing this could help when the fault is inbound SSL server protection, because inbound SSL server protection requires an appropriate certificate/private key to decrypt traffic for inspection. Here the evidence instead identifies IPS signature relevance; the recommended correction addresses that dependency.
The proposed setting concerns IPS allow versus block mode, not the actual source of failure. IPS effectiveness depends on selecting the right signatures and applying them where the susceptible workload flows. It would leave the cited symptom unresolved.
Changing this could help when the fault is IPS sensor enforcement, because iPS operates through signatures configured in a sensor applied to matching FortiGate firewall sessions. Here the evidence instead identifies IPS signature relevance; the recommended correction addresses that dependency.
A supply-chain company discovers a FortiGate control gap during a weekend failover rehearsal: a generic IPS sensor examines unrelated outbound media traffic while the actual vulnerable web server has no virtual patching; additionally, an administrator enables hundreds of irrelevant attack signatures but omits the one protecting a published vulnerability. Which targeted correction should the team implement?
Select relevant IPS signatures and severity filters for the specific protected service and exposure.

The customer support center team is verifying its fix for an incident where a generic IPS sensor examines unrelated outbound media traffic while the actual vulnerable web server has no virtual patching. Which specific observation most convincingly demonstrates the required FortiGate behavior?
The relevant exploit signature triggers on inbound application probes without needless unrelated inspection load. IPS effectiveness depends on selecting the right signatures and applying them where the susceptible workload flows. This is directly observable evidence for the IPS signature relevance requirement, rather than a generic appliance-health indicator.
This verifies a different control: trusted CA for deep inspection. IPS effectiveness depends on selecting the right signatures and applying them where the susceptible workload flows. The stated incident requires evidence of its own packet, identity or policy behavior.
A result about IPS allow versus block mode can be true while the IPS signature relevance defect persists. Signature detection and the selected IPS action are separate, allowing monitor-only or enforcing outcomes. It does not validate the tested dependency.
That observation is a useful test for IPS false positive analysis, but not decisive proof of IPS signature relevance. IPS event logs identify signature and action, enabling narrow exception decisions with evidence. The recorded acceptance check must demonstrate the actual requirement.
After a segmentation review, administrators correct a problem where an administrator enables hundreds of irrelevant attack signatures but omits the one protecting a published vulnerability. Which test result should their acceptance record contain?
