Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE7_ZTA-7.2 exam

Question #: 5
Topic #: 2

FortiNAC has alarm mappings configured for MDM compliance failure, and FortiClient EMS is added as a MDM connector When an endpoint is quarantined by FortiClient EMS, what action does FortiNAC perform?

AThe host is isolated in the registration VLAN

BThe host is marked at risk

CThe host is forced to authenticate again

DThe host is disabled

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In the scenario where FortiNAC has alarm mappings configured for MDM (Mobile Device Management) compliance failure and FortiClient EMS (Endpoint Management System) is integrated as an MDM connector, the typical response when an endpoint is quarantined by FortiClient EMS is to isolate the host in the registration VLAN. This action is consistent with FortiNAC's approach to network access control, focusing on ensuring network security and compliance. By moving the non-compliant or quarantined host to a registration VLAN, FortiNAC effectively segregates it from the rest of the network, mitigating potential risks while allowing for further investigation or remediation steps.

I agree with Lashon. Disabling the host would be the most secure action to take in that situation.

Well, when an endpoint is quarantined, it makes sense to disable it to prevent any further risk.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option B - 'The host is marked at risk'. That seems like the most logical action for FortiNAC to take when a device is quarantined by the MDM connector. Isolating the host or disabling it entirely might be a bit extreme.

Agreed. Option B it is. Now let's just hope the actual exam question is as straightforward as this one!

Haha, good one Rolland. But seriously, I think you're right, Liam. Marking the host as at-risk is probably the most appropriate action here. It allows FortiNAC to keep an eye on the device without completely cutting it off from the network.

Haha, yeah, disabling the host seems a bit harsh. Unless the device is, like, a rogue nation-state actor or something. 'The host has been deemed a threat to national security. Engaging self-destruct sequence.'
