Question 11

Refer to the exhibits.

Assume that the traffic flows are identical, except for the destination IP address. There is only one FortiGate in network address translation (NAT) mode in this environment.
Based on the exhibits, which two conclusions can you make about this FortiSIEM incident? (Choose two answers)

A.The client 10.200.3.219 is conducting active reconnaissance.
B.FortiGate is not routing the packets to the destination hosts.
C.The destination hosts are not responding.
D.FortiGate is blocking the return flows.

Question 12

Review the incident report:
Packet captures show a host maintaining periodic TLS sessions that imitate normal HTTPS traffic but run on TCP 8443 to a single external host. An analyst flags the traffic as potential command-and-control. During the same period, the host issues frequent DNS queries with oversized TXT payloads to an attacker-controlled domain, transferring staged files.
Which two MITRE ATT&CK techniques best describe this activity? (Choose two answers)

A.Non-Standard Port
B.Exploitation of Remote Services
C.Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol
D.Hide Artifacts

Question 13

Refer to the exhibit.

Which shows the partial output of the MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise matrix on FortiAnalyzer.
Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

A.There are four techniques that fall under tactic T1071.
B.There are four subtechniques that fall under technique T1071.
C.There are event handlers that cover tactic T1071.
D.There are 15 events associated with the tactic.

Question 14

Which role does a threat hunter play within a SOC?

A.investigate and respond to a reported security incident
B.Collect evidence and determine the impact of a suspected attack
C.Search for hidden threats inside a network which may have eluded detection
D.Monitor network logs to identify anomalous behavior

Correct Answer: C

* Role of a Threat Hunter:
* A threat hunter proactively searches for cyber threats that have evaded traditional security defenses. This role is crucial in identifying sophisticated and stealthy adversaries that bypass automated detection systems.
* Key Responsibilities:
* Proactive Threat Identification:
* Threat hunters use advanced tools and techniques to identify hidden threats within the network. This includes analyzing anomalies, investigating unusual behaviors, and utilizing threat intelligence.
Reference: SANS Institute, "Threat Hunting: Open Season on the Adversary" SANS Threat Hunting Understanding the Threat Landscape:
They need a deep understanding of the threat landscape, including common and emerging tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors.
Reference: MITRE ATT&CK Framework MITRE ATT&CK
Advanced Analytical Skills:
Utilizing advanced analytical skills and tools, threat hunters analyze logs, network traffic, and endpoint data to uncover signs of compromise.
Reference: Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Threat Hunting Guide CISA Threat Hunting Distinguishing from Other Roles:
Investigate and Respond to Incidents (A):
This is typically the role of an Incident Responder who reacts to reported incidents, collects evidence, and determines the impact.
Reference: NIST Special Publication 800-61, "Computer Security Incident Handling Guide"NIST Incident Handling Collect Evidence and Determine Impact (B):
This is often the role of a Digital Forensics Analyst who focuses on evidence collection and impact assessment post-incident.
Monitor Network Logs (D):
This falls under the responsibilities of a SOC Analyst who monitors logs and alerts for anomalous behavior and initial detection.
Conclusion:
Threat hunters are essential in a SOC for uncovering sophisticated threats that automated systems may miss.
Their proactive approach is key to enhancing the organization's security posture.

Question 15

Which FortiAnalyzer connector can you use to run automation stitches9

A.FortiCASB
B.FortiMail
C.Local
D.FortiOS

Correct Answer: D

* Overview of Automation Stitches:
* Automation stitches in FortiAnalyzer are predefined sets of automated actions triggered by specific events. These actions help in automating responses to security incidents, improving efficiency, and reducing the response time.
* FortiAnalyzer Connectors:
* FortiAnalyzer integrates with various Fortinet products and other third-party solutions through connectors. These connectors facilitate communication and data exchange, enabling centralized management and automation.
* Available Connectors for Automation Stitches:
* FortiCASB:
* FortiCASB is a Cloud Access Security Broker that helps secure SaaS applications.
However, it is not typically used for running automation stitches within FortiAnalyzer.
Reference: Fortinet FortiCASB Documentation FortiCASB
FortiMail:
FortiMail is an email security solution. While it can send logs and events to FortiAnalyzer, it is not primarily used for running automation stitches.
Reference: Fortinet FortiMail Documentation FortiMail
Local:
The local connector refers to FortiAnalyzer's ability to handle logs and events generated by itself. This is useful for internal processes but not specifically for integrating with other Fortinet devices for automation stitches.
Reference: Fortinet FortiAnalyzer Administration Guide FortiAnalyzer Local FortiOS:
FortiOS is the operating system that runs on FortiGate firewalls. FortiAnalyzer can use the FortiOS connector to communicate with FortiGate devices and run automation stitches. This allows FortiAnalyzer to send commands to FortiGate, triggering predefined actions in response to specific events.
Reference: Fortinet FortiOS Administration Guide FortiOS
Detailed Process:
Step 1: Configure the FortiOS connector in FortiAnalyzer to establish communication with FortiGate devices.
Step 2: Define automation stitches within FortiAnalyzer that specify the actions to be taken when certain events occur.
Step 3: When a triggering event is detected, FortiAnalyzer uses the FortiOS connector to send the necessary commands to the FortiGate device.
Step 4: FortiGate executes the commands, performing the predefined actions such as blocking an IP address, updating firewall rules, or sending alerts.
Conclusion:
The FortiOS connector is specifically designed for integration with FortiGate devices, enabling FortiAnalyzer to execute automation stitches effectively.
