Fortinet Exam NSE7_OTS-7.2 Topic 1 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE7_OTS-7.2 exam
Question #: 4
Topic #: 1
[All NSE7_OTS-7.2 Questions]

An OT network consists of multiple FortiGate devices. The edge FortiGate device is deployed as the secure gateway and is only allowing remote operators to access the ICS networks on site.

Management hires a third-party company to conduct health and safety on site. The third-party company must have outbound access to external resources.

As the OT network administrator, what is the best scenario to provide external access to the third-party company while continuing to secure the ICS networks?

In my opinion, creating VPN tunnels would be the best option for securing ICS network traffic while providing external access to the third-party company.

I agree with having an additional firewall could add extra protection to the network.

That could work too, but maybe implementing an additional firewall with an upstream link might offer more security layers.

I believe splitting the edge FortiGate into multiple logical devices could provide independent access to the third-party company.

But wouldn't configuring outbound security policies with limited active authentication users of the third-party company be a more secure option?

I agree, Option C seems the most promising. Though we'll have to be really careful with the VDOM configuration to make sure there are no gaps in security. Can't have those third-party folks getting into the ICS networks, you know? *winks*

I agree, this is a classic security vs. accessibility dilemma. We don't want to open up the network too much, but we also need to let the third-party company do their job. Perhaps a combination of solutions could work best?

Haha, that's a good one! I like the idea of giving them their own little domain to play in, as long as it keeps the ICS networks safe.

Creating VPN tunnels between the downstream FortiGate devices and the edge FortiGate, as in Option B, could be a good way to protect the ICS network traffic. That way, the third-party company can access external resources without directly connecting to the ICS networks.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. We need to strike a balance between providing access for the third-party company while still maintaining tight security for the ICS networks. Let's weigh the pros and cons of each option.

You know, if we go with Option C, we could name the third-party VDOM something like 'The Island of Misfit Toys.' Just to keep things lighthearted, you know?

This question is really testing our understanding of OT network security best practices. We need to find a way to give the third-party company access while still keeping the ICS networks secure.
