Question 660
At Ironwood Manufacturing, the FortiGate 7.6 security administration team encounters the following authorized operational case: an administrator expects a web-filter category profile to block DNS lookups made directly through a separate resolver path. They need a defensible FortiOS configuration, diagnosis, validation or prevention decision. Which recurring review is most relevant to the same root risk?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Validate controls at the protocol where enforcement is required. This recurring practice addresses dns-filter and web-filter distinction because hTTP URL filtering and DNS query filtering operate on different protocol events. It reinforces the supported change to deploy the appropriate supported DNS filtering control for DNS traffic in addition to web inspection rather than relying on an unrelated periodic audit.
Incorrect Answers
Verify enforcement actions rather than relying on profile labels reduces recurrence of application-control monitor action, rather than the observed dns-filter and web-filter distinction issue. The relevant preventive control for Ironwood Manufacturing is: Validate controls at the protocol where enforcement is required. This distinction matters because hTTP URL filtering and DNS query filtering operate on different protocol events.
Expire exceptions when the support contract changes reduces recurrence of application control explicit exemption, rather than the observed dns-filter and web-filter distinction issue. The relevant preventive control for Ironwood Manufacturing is: Validate controls at the protocol where enforcement is required. This distinction matters because hTTP URL filtering and DNS query filtering operate on different protocol events.
Check antivirus profile presence when adding broad web permit rules reduces recurrence of antivirus profile on allowed http, rather than the observed dns-filter and web-filter distinction issue. The relevant preventive control for Ironwood Manufacturing is: Validate controls at the protocol where enforcement is required. This distinction matters because hTTP URL filtering and DNS query filtering operate on different protocol events.
