The Fortinet NSE 6 - FortiEDR 7.0 Administrator (NSE6_EDR_AD-7.0)

The correct answer is C .

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide states that for on-premises deployments, the on-premise reputation service requests missing hashes from the cloud reputation service . If a proxy is not enabled, it requests the missing hashes from the cloud reputation service through the manager nginx . If a proxy is enabled, the on-premises reputation service requests the missing hashes through the proxy.

So, when the local reputation database does not contain the requested hash, the on-premises reputation server does not ignore the request, wait for endpoint input, or automatically block the application. It queries the cloud reputation service for the missing hash reputation data.

=========

The correct answers are A. Device and user name and D. IP address and MAC address .

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide states that the GDPR feature is implemented in Administration > Settings > Personal Data Handling . It is used to remove relevant data for an employee or FortiEDR user who no longer has access to or uses the FortiEDR system. The guide explicitly identifies the personal data as device name, IP address, MAC address, and user name . It further states: “You must remove all device name, IP address, MAC address, and user name data from FortiEDR in order to fully comply with the GDPR standard.”

Therefore, installed applications and installed OS name are not the required GDPR personal data types in this FortiEDR procedure. The required removal is performed iteratively for the employee’s/user’s device name , IP address , MAC address , and user name . The guide also instructs administrators to continue removing the other required data: IP address, MAC address, and user name , and to delete any reports that may contain the user’s data.

The correct answer is A. Investigation .

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide states that Investigation actions enable administrators to isolate a device or assign it to a high-security Collector Group for further investigation of the device’s activity. Under the Investigation section, the guide lists the available investigation action types, including “Isolate device with Collector,” “Isolate device with NAC,” and “Move device to High Security Group.”

For Isolate device with Collector , the guide explains that the action blocks communication to and from the affected Collector, and it applies only to endpoint Collectors. If the Playbook policy is configured to isolate a device for a malicious event, then when a malicious security event is triggered, the device is isolated from communicating with the outside world for both sending and receiving.

So, this is not a Remediation , Custom , or Notification action. In FortiEDR Playbook policy terminology, Isolate device with Collector belongs under Investigation .

=========

The correct answer is D .

The FortiEDR guide confirms that Playbook actions are automatic incident response actions configured under Security Settings > Playbooks and applied based on security event classification. It also confirms that actions such as Terminate Process and device isolation actions can be configured as playbook responses. For scheduled-query-triggered events, the guide states that FortiEDR can automatically apply the Playbook action assigned to the Collector Group that the triggering device belongs to.

For isolation, the guide shows that isolation actions such as Isolate device with NAC are configured under the Investigation section of Playbooks, and similar isolation actions are triggered automatically when selected for the relevant classification.

The uploaded guide does not provide a specific line saying “if terminate process fails, continue to the next action.” Based on FortiEDR playbook behavior, configured actions are executed independently. A failure to terminate a protected Windows process does not automatically cancel the remaining playbook actions. Therefore, the next configured action, isolate device , is still executed.

Options A , B , and C are wrong because the playbook does not pause for administrator intervention, does not stop merely because an email is generated, and does not cancel all remaining configured actions because one action failed.

=========

The correct answers are A and B .

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide states that newly added applications are disabled by default , which means they are not blocked unless enabled. The guide further explains that the default state can be changed by enabling the Enable Default application state option in the Application Control Manager settings. Therefore, option A is correct.

Option B is also correct because Application Control allows an application to be defined by Hash or by any combination of File Name / Path / Signer . The guide says that the Path field specifies the path to the executable file of the application to be blocked. When using path-based matching, the enforcement is tied to the specified path criteria, not to every possible location of the same file.

Option C is wrong because the file name does not also need to match when only the Path attribute is used. Option D is wrong because blocking all instances regardless of location applies when only the File Name field is used, not when the match is path-specific. The guide explicitly states that if only the File Name field is filled, the application is blocked no matter where the executable appears.

Comprehensive and Detailed 100 to 150 words of Explanation From FortiEDR 7.0 Administrator topics:

“This action blocks the communication to/from the affected Collector.”

“A Firewall Connector must already be configured in order to perform this action.”

FortiEDR Playbooks support separate remediation and investigation actions. The firewall-blocking action depends on the configured FortiGate connector, while Collector-based device isolation operates through the protected endpoint. If FortiGate is unreachable, the firewall action cannot complete successfully, but the independent Collector isolation action can still execute. The intended outcome is therefore successful device isolation with a failure recorded for the unsuccessful response.

Verification qualification: The documented firewall action blocks malicious remote addresses, not file hashes directly. Additionally, the Administration Guide does not explicitly define the overall playbook status when one action fails. Consequently, D is the strongest intended answer, but its aggregate failure-status behavior is not conclusively verified by the cited documentation.

The correct answers are B and C .

The exhibit shows:

FortiEDR Service: Up

FortiEDR Driver: Up

FortiEDR Status: Degraded (no configuration)

This means the local Collector service and driver are running, but the Collector has not received valid configuration. In FortiEDR, a Collector must register and communicate with the FortiEDR Aggregator to receive its configuration. The guide states that the Collector initially sends registration information to the FortiEDR Aggregator using SSL, sends ongoing health/status/security-event information, and receives its configuration from the Aggregator.

During installation, a non-customized Windows Collector requires the correct Aggregator address , Aggregator port 8081 , and registration password . The guide explicitly states that the Aggregator port should be specified as 8081 , and that the registration password must be entered during installation.

Therefore, an incorrect registration password or incorrect port number can prevent proper registration/configuration retrieval, resulting in a degraded/no-configuration state.

Option A is not the best answer because Windows Firewall being enabled by itself does not automatically cause this FortiEDR status; only if it blocks required FortiEDR communication would it matter, and the option is too generic. Option D is also not correct as written because the Collector receives configuration from the Aggregator , not directly from the Central Manager. The guide describes Collector-to-Aggregator communication for registration and configuration.

=========

The correct answers are A and C .

The exhibit shows an audit/response action stating that IP address 74.125.235.20 was added to malicious IP addresses on firewall FortiGate . This matches the FortiEDR playbook action Block address on Firewall . The guide states that this action ensures connections to remote malicious addresses associated with the security event are blocked, and that a firewall connector must already be configured for this action. It also explains that a checkmark in a classification column means communication with the affected destination is automatically blocked when a security event with that classification is triggered.

Option C is the second best answer because FortiEDR events are initially classified by FortiEDR detection logic/Core, and the guide states that classifications are initially determined by the Core but can later be changed automatically by FortiEDR Cloud Service or manually. The exhibit shows “Classification Changed To: Suspicious (By Fortinet)” , but it does not say the event was manually classified by an administrator. So the event classification process is FortiEDR-driven, with later Fortinet/FCS-style automatic classification possible.

Option B is wrong. The exhibit shows one raw-data row with device cwinserv-32 +2 , which indicates more than one affected device/raw item is represented in the aggregation. So it did not occur on only one device.

Option D is wrong because the incident rows clearly show Unhandled . The guide states that security events are initially marked as unread and unhandled, and the unread/unhandled status helps users track whether anyone has read and handled the event.

=========

The correct answers are A and B .

The exhibit shows the event classification as Malicious , classified by FortinetCloudServices , and the history states that device R2D2-kvm63 was moved from the Training Collector Group to the High Security Collector Group . This is a Playbook action. The FortiEDR guide explains that after classification changes, the Overview pane displays the history of automatic FortiEDR actions, including Playbook policy-related actions .

The guide specifically lists Move device to High Security Group under Investigation actions in Playbook policies. It states that a checkmark in a classification column means the device is automatically moved to the High Security Collector Group when a security event with that classification is triggered. So the exhibit proves that Playbooks are configured for this event.

The second correct answer is B because the triggered rule is under Training • Extended Detection . The FortiEDR guide states that the eXtended Detection Policy logs events and displays them in the Incidents tab, but no blocking options are provided for this policy.

Option C is wrong because moving a device to the High Security Collector Group is not the same as isolating the device. Isolation would block communication to/from the affected Collector. The exhibit shows a Collector Group move, not isolation.

Option D is wrong because Extended Detection does not block. The guide explicitly says Extended Detection events are logged and displayed, with no blocking options provided.
