DNS Configuration:For FortiWeb Cloud to effectively protect web applications, the DNS records for the application servers must be configured to point to FortiWeb Cloud. This ensures that all incoming traffic is routed through FortiWeb Cloud for inspection and protection (Option A).Traffic Filtering:FortiWeb Cloud provides robust protection by filtering incoming traffic to block the OWASP Top 10 attacks, zero-day threats, and other application layer attacks. This ensures the security and integrity of the web applications it protects (Option B).Other Options Analysis:Option C is incorrect because FortiWeb Cloud can protect application servers across different VPCs or regions, not just within the same VPC.Option D is incorrect because step 2 does not require an AWS S3 bucket; it refers to the inspection and filtering of incoming traffic.FortiWeb Cloud Overview: FortiWeb CloudDNS Configuration for Web Applications: DNS Configuration

VPC-Scoped Protection:When deploying a FortiWeb VM inside a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), the security and protection it offers are limited to the applications and traffic that pass through that specific VPC. This means that any applications outside this VPC will not benefit from the protection of FortiWeb VM (Option D).Comparison with FortiWeb Cloud:FortiWeb Cloud, being a cloud-native WAF-as-a-Service, can protect applications regardless of their VPC location, offering broader and more flexible protection capabilities.Other Options Analysis:Option A is incorrect because both FortiWeb VM and FortiWeb Cloud protect against OWASP Top 10 threats.Option B is incorrect because FortiWeb VM does support zero-day protection.Option C is incorrect as the performance of FortiWeb VM in applying advanced WAF protection is not inherently slower compared to FortiWeb Cloud.FortiWeb Overview: FortiWeb

Understanding Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB):GWLB is designed to distribute traffic across multiple appliances for both inbound and outbound traffic, providing scalability and high availability.Traffic Load Balancing:GWLB can send traffic to multiple FortiGate appliances for load balancing purposes, ensuring efficient use of resources (Option A).Stateful Processing:For stateful processing, GWLB ensures that traffic flows (both inbound and outbound) for a given connection are directed to the same FortiGate appliance. This maintains session integrity (Option B).Preservation and Hashing of Traffic:Options C and D are incorrect as they suggest incorrect behavior regarding traffic content preservation and hashing for data integrity, which are not primary functions of GWLB.AWS Gateway Load Balancer Documentation: AWS Gateway Load BalancerFortiGate Integration with GWLB: Fortinet Documentation

Symmetric Traffic Flow with SNAT:In active-active (A-A) clusters, symmetric traffic flow is essential for maintaining session integrity across multiple instances. Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) is performed inbound to ensure that return traffic is routed correctly (Option A). Load Balancer Requirement:A-A clusters require a load balancer to distribute incoming traffic evenly across the active instances. This is crucial for balancing the load and providing high availability (Option C).API Calls and Failovers:Option B is incorrect because failovers in A-A clusters do not typically rely on API calls but are managed by the load balancer and the clustering mechanism itself.Software-Defined Network (SDN) Failover:Option D is incorrect as SDN is not specifically required for performing failovers in A-A clusters. The failover mechanism is typically managed by the load balancer and FortiGate's clustering technology.FortiGate High Availability on AWS: FortiGate HAAWS Elastic Load Balancing: AWS ELB

Understanding VPC Peering:VPC peering connections allow instances in one VPC to communicate with instances in another VPC. Peering is a one-to-one relationship between two VPCs.Transit Routing Limitation:AWS VPC peering connections do not support transitive peering. This means that a packet originating in VPC B cannot be routed through VPC A to reach VPC C. Each pair of VPCs must have its own peering connection.Routing Table Configuration:Even if you add a route in the VPC A routing table for the 192.168.0.0/16 network, it won't allow VPC B to communicate with VPC C because of the non-transitive nature of VPC peering.Comparison with Other Options:Option A is incorrect because adding a route in VPC A does not overcome the limitation of non-transitive peering.Option C is incorrect because associating pcx-23232323 with VPC B is not how VPC peering works.Option D is incorrect because you can create a separate peering connection between VPC B and VPC C, which is the required approach for communication between these VPCs.AWS VPC Peering Guide: VPC PeeringLimitations of VPC Peering: AWS VPC Peering Limitations

Dynamic Address Object Update:The debug output shows that the IP address of the AWS Windows Server Lab has been updated automatically, indicating that the dynamic address object feature is working as intended. This allows FortiGate to adapt to changes in the IP addresses of AWS instances dynamically (Option A).SDN Connector Configuration:The messages in the debug output confirm that the SDN connector is able to retrieve instance information and update the firewall address objects successfully. This implies that the SDN connector is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions (Option C).Manual Change and Permissions:Option B is incorrect because while the address object could theoretically be changed manually, this is not inferred from the debug output.Option D is incorrect because the debug output does not indicate that the AWS user account must have full administrative rights. The required permissions are typically more scoped to specific actions related to SDN.FortiGate AWS Integration Guide: FortiGate on AWSAWS IAM Policies for SDN: AWS IAM Policies

SSL Inspection Requirement:FortiWeb Cloud provides comprehensive SSL inspection capabilities, allowing it to decrypt and inspect HTTPS traffic for threats. This is a crucial feature for many organizations that need to ensure all traffic, including encrypted traffic, is thoroughly inspected (Option C).Comparison with AWS WAF:While AWS WAF with Fortinet managed rules provides robust protection, it might not offer the same level of SSL inspection capabilities as FortiWeb Cloud.Other Considerations:Option A (Manual WAF signature updates) is incorrect because FortiWeb Cloud updates signatures automatically.Option B (PCI 6.6 compliance) is a general requirement for any WAF solution, not specific to choosing FortiWeb Cloud over AWS WAF.Option D (Traffic inspection for malware) is a feature provided by both FortiWeb Cloud and AWS WAF with Fortinet managed rules.FortiWeb Cloud Overview: FortiWeb CloudAWS WAF Documentation: AWS WAF

HA Cluster in AWS Cloud:Deploying an active-passive HA cluster in AWS requires careful consideration of the clustering protocol used to ensure seamless failover and traffic flow.Unicast FortiGate Clustering Protocol (FGCP):Unicast FGCP is specifically designed for environments where multicast traffic is not feasible or supported, such as in the AWS cloud. Using unicast FGCP ensures that heartbeat and synchronization traffic between the cluster members are managed correctly over unicast communication, which is suitable for AWS's network infrastructure (Option C).Comparison with Other Options:Option A is incorrect because while placing both cluster members in the same availability zone might be required for certain configurations, it is not the critical factor for HA formation.Option B is incorrect as VDOM exceptions are not directly related to the successful formation of HA.Option D is incorrect because the ELB configuration checks are more about ensuring that the load balancer correctly routes traffic but do not specifically ensure HA formation and failover.FortiGate HA in AWS Documentation: FortiGate HAFortinet FGCP Details: FGCP Documentation

FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (CNF):FortiGate CNF offers cloud-native firewall capabilities designed to provide network security within AWS. It integrates seamlessly with AWS services and offers advanced threat protection and traffic management (Option C).Fortinet Managed Rules for AWS WAF:Fortinet Managed Rules for AWS WAF provide pre-configured, updated security rules that protect web applications from common threats such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. This offering simplifies the protection of web applications hosted on AWS (Option D).FortiWeb Cloud:FortiWeb Cloud is a Web Application Firewall (WAF) as a service that provides comprehensive protection for web applications hosted on AWS. It offers features such as bot mitigation, DDoS protection, and deep inspection of HTTP/HTTPS traffic (Option E).Comparison with Other Options:Option A (AWS WAF) is a native AWS service, not a Fortinet offering.Option B (FortiEDR) is focused on endpoint detection and response, which is not specifically aimed at protecting web applications.FortiGate CNF Documentation: FortiGate CNFFortinet Managed Rules for AWS WAF: Fortinet AWS WAF RulesFortiWeb Cloud Overview: FortiWeb Cloud

Invalid Credentials:The debug output shows an 'AuthFailure' error, indicating that AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials. This usually points to incorrect or invalid AWS access or secret keys configured in the AWS Lab SDN connector (Option C).Clock Skew:Another common reason for authentication failures in AWS API calls is a clock skew between the FortiGate device and AWS. AWS requires that the system time of the client making the API call is synchronized with its own time, within a small margin. If there is a significant time difference, AWS will reject the credentials (Option B).Other Options Analysis:Option A is incorrect because the AWS API supports XML version 1.0.Option D is incorrect as the error message does not indicate an issue with connecting on port 401.Option E is incorrect because the error is related to authentication, not the absence of instances.AWS API Authentication: AWS API SecurityFortiGate AWS Integration Guide: FortiGate AWS Integration

FortiSandbox Deployment:FortiSandbox for AWS deploys new EC2 instances to create isolated environments where it can safely execute and analyze suspicious files. These instances run custom Windows and Linux virtual machines specifically configured for sandboxing (Option D).Sandboxing Process:The process involves sending potential malware to these isolated VMs, executing it, and monitoring its behavior to detect malicious activities. The results are then captured and analyzed to provide detailed threat intelligence.Other Options Analysis:Option A is incorrect because FortiSandbox for AWS operates entirely within the AWS environment and does not require an on-premises manager.Option B is incorrect as the FortiSandbox manager is not installed on the AWS platform for managing on-premises instances.Option C is incorrect because FortiSandbox requires sufficient resources to perform the actual sandboxing and analysis tasks.FortiSandbox for AWS Documentation: FortiSandboxSandboxing Concepts: Sandboxing
