What is the purpose of IPS signatures in a Fortinet IPS sensor?

To define user authentication policies for network access

To identify known threats by matching traffic patterns against predefined rules

To monitor system performance and resource usage

To generate encryption keys for secure communication

An organization has a web application that is frequently targeted by a specific exploit. The default IPS signatures do not detect this exploit. The administrator wants to create a custom signature that matches the exploit's unique payload. Which approach is correct?

Enable the 'extreme' database to include the exploit's signature.

Create a new IPS sensor and set the 'action' to 'block' for all signatures.

Use the 'signature editor' to modify an existing default signature to match the exploit.

Create a custom signature using the 'F-SBID' syntax and add it to an IPS sensor.

An administrator is configuring IPS on a FortiGate that has multiple VDOMs. They want to apply different IPS sensors to different VDOMs. What is the correct way to achieve this?

Configure IPS sensors at the VDOM level and apply them to interfaces.

Create a single IPS sensor and apply it globally to all VDOMs.

Create separate IPS sensors and apply them to the firewall policies within each VDOM.

Use the 'per-VDOM' setting to assign different sensors to each VDOM.

What is the primary role of an IPS sensor in a Fortinet enterprise firewall?

To encrypt all traffic between the firewall and external networks

To provide a graphical interface for managing firewall policies

To route traffic between different security zones based on policy

To inspect traffic for known attack patterns and block or log malicious activity

What is a common method to define a custom IPS signature in Fortinet?

Selecting a signature from a dropdown list of predefined options

Using a text-based rule that specifies patterns or conditions to match

Uploading a compiled binary file that contains the detection logic

Writing a script in Python that runs on the firewall
