What are organizations doing to stay competitive? Correct Answer: Adopting new models of
connectivity and data sharing including Cloud computing and enabling the IoT
Should we take the vendor's word for how good their products are? Correct Answer: No. We
need to have 3rd party verification.
Governing bodies all over the world are mandating risk management processes. What does an
org have to do to comply with these processes? Correct Answer: Compliance includes:
1) auditing
2) monitoring
3) adherence
There used to be a clearly defined border (perimeter) to secure a network. Is that still the case
today? Correct Answer: No. Today we say the network is borderless because of the Cloud,
BYOD, IoT, and wireless. Now we need intelligent security that can see the entire network and
all the devices connected to it.
Does slow mean broken? Correct Answer: Yes. Security has to be high performance and cannot
slow down the business.
Is complexity the enemy of security? Correct Answer: Yes. There is a problem with the point
product approach. A point product is a product that provides a solution to a single problem rather
than addressing all the requirements that might otherwise be met with a multipurpose or multi-
service product. For example, as tele-communications carriers combine more services, point
products that each support one protocol have given way to multi-service products that support
several protocols in one device.
Should there be security without Compromise? Correct Answer: Oh yeah...
What is the Fortinet Security Fabric designed to do? Correct Answer: Dynamically adapt to the
evolving IT infrastructure in order to defend against the ever-changing attack surface.
How does the Fortinet Security Fabric work? Correct Answer: 1) It segments the network, from
IoT to the Cloud.
2) Each security element in the fabric is aware of each other, allowing them to share intelligence.
Why is it an advantage that each element in the security fabric is aware of each other? Correct
Answer: Because they can share policy, threat intelligence, and application flow information.
How does the collaborative approach of the security fabric improve performance? Correct
Answer: 1) Threats are detected much quicker.
2) Responses can be sychronized and coordinated
3) Fortinet can collaborate with partner companies to enhance capabilities.
, What does the Fortinet Security Fabric integrate? Correct Answer: Security for the:
1) endpoint
2) access layer
3) network
4) applications
5) data center
6) content
7) cloud
How is the integration presented to a user? Correct Answer: Through a management interface
What three attributes is the Fortinet Security Fabric built upon? Correct Answer: AWARE,
SCALABLE, ACTIONABLE
What does it mean to say that the Fortinet Security Fabric is AWARE? Correct Answer: the
fabric must have visibility of all the components including endpoints, network elements, data
center, cloud, and the data itself.
Why is having awareness of each of the network's elements useful for an admin? Correct
Answer: Because they can segment each component by trust level.
What does network segmentation allow for? Correct Answer: 1) logically separates data and
resources
2) allows for visibility of threats as they move from one network to the next.
From a threat perspective, what does network segmentation provide? Correct Answer: It divides
your network into security zones to aid in compliance, monitor internal traffic and devices,
prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas, control and prevent the spread of malware.
What was a key driver behind the development of the Fortinet Security Fabric? Correct Answer:
1) the need for comprehensive visibility
2) granular policy control
3) coordinated response between devices
What does the Fortinet Security Fabric tie together? Correct Answer: Data, applications,
devices, and workflows.
Why must a security solution be Scalable? Correct Answer: it must be able to scale from the
smallest branch deployments to the largest, most complex - and it must be available virtually to
protect the private, hybrid, and public clouds.
Why must a security solution be Seamless? Correct Answer: 1) it must deliver cooperative
security alerts, recommendations and audit reports across all security elements.
2) real-time sharing of threat intelligence
