Question 720
At Ironwood Aviation, the FortiGate 7.6 security administration team encounters the following authorized operational case: a blocked application moves to a nondefault TCP port and bypasses a rule limited to the standard service object. 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 application controls against nonstandard transport paths. This recurring practice addresses nonstandard application port because matching solely a well-known port is insufficient when traffic can use an alternate destination port. It reinforces the supported change to apply appropriate application-aware inspection and service limits for the required protocol rather than relying on an unrelated periodic audit.
Incorrect Answers
Monitor bypass reasons and adjust limits with capacity planning reduces recurrence of maximum file size scan limitation, rather than the observed nonstandard application port issue. The relevant preventive control for Ironwood Aviation is: Validate application controls against nonstandard transport paths. This distinction matters because matching solely a well-known port is insufficient when traffic can use an alternate destination port.
Review IPS action settings during signature category updates reduces recurrence of ips sensor action pass versus block, rather than the observed nonstandard application port issue. The relevant preventive control for Ironwood Aviation is: Validate application controls against nonstandard transport paths. This distinction matters because matching solely a well-known port is insufficient when traffic can use an alternate destination port.
Identify high-value east-west services in the IPS deployment plan reduces recurrence of ips protecting internal segmentation, rather than the observed nonstandard application port issue. The relevant preventive control for Ironwood Aviation is: Validate application controls against nonstandard transport paths. This distinction matters because matching solely a well-known port is insufficient when traffic can use an alternate destination port.
