Fortinet FCP_FWF_AD-7.4 Dumps

Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) in Fortinet’s Secure Wireless LAN (SWLAN) platform monitors for threats to the wireless environment and detects a range of attacks and misconfigurations.

The main threats detected by WIDS include:

Rogue access points: These are unauthorized APs plugged into the network, posing a security risk. WIDS scans and identifies any AP that is not part of the authorized network, flagging them as potential rogues.

Unauthorized wireless connections: WIDS can detect clients that connect to unauthorized or suspicious wireless networks, as well as unauthorized wireless devices attempting to connect to the network.

Analysis of Options:

A. Brute-force dictionary attacks:

WIDS does not specifically detect brute-force dictionary attacks against authentication. It focuses more on network topology threats and unauthorized devices.

B. Unauthorized wireless connection:

Correct. WIDS can detect unauthorized wireless connections, such as clients connecting to networks/APs that are not trusted.

C. Rogue access points:

Correct. Detecting rogue APs is a primary function of WIDS.

D. WPA2 authentication vulnerabilities:

WIDS does not specifically scan for cryptographic protocol vulnerabilities. It detects behavioral/network threats.

Exhibit Review and Feature Analysis:

The SSID "CORP_DATA" is configured with Tunnel NAC as the "NAC profile" (Network Access Control).

NAC quarantine host is enabled, which means when a station is identified as compromised, it will be placed into quarantine automatically by the FortiAP.

How This Works:

In Security Fabric deployments, when a FortiGate detects a compromised endpoint (via integration with FortiAnalyzer and endpoint telemetry), it can instruct FortiAPs (broadcasting the relevant SSID with NAC enabled) to move compromised clients into a quarantine VLAN or block their network access.

The NAC quarantine feature is specifically designed to isolate infected or non-compliant devices automatically, without waiting for manual SOC action.

Option Explanations:

A: NAC does not simply onboard compromised stations—it isolates or restricts them.

B: Disassociation and permanent blocking is not the default; quarantine is preferred.

C: FortiAnalyzer does generate reports, but this does not describe the action taken by FortiGate or FortiAP.

D: Correct. FortiAPs, following FortiGate's NAC/quarantine policy, will isolate (quarantine) compromised clients on the CORP_DATA SSID.

When enabling a Security Fabric connection on a FortiGate interface to manage FortiAP devices, the following two types of CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) communication channels are established:

Control channels:

Correct. The control channel is used for management and control information between the FortiGate (controller) and FortiAP. This includes configuration, monitoring, and state updates.

Data channels:

Correct. The data channel carries client traffic between the FortiAP and FortiGate. This enables the FortiGate to apply security policies, content filtering, and other services to wireless client data.

Analysis of Other Options:

C. Security channels:

There is no specific “security channel” in CAPWAP terminology.

D. Fortlink channels:

FortLink is used for FortiSwitch management, not FortiAPs. CAPWAP is the protocol for FortiAP management.
