NSE6_EDR_AD-7.0 Fortinet NSE 6 - FortiEDR 7.0 Administrator Question and Answers

The correct answer is B. Exclude only app.exe when it is running from C:\Tools.

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide explains that the Exclusion Manager is used to define which processes, files, or domains are excluded from Security Policies monitoring. For Process Exclusions, FortiEDR does not inspect actions performed by specific processes, and those processes are identified by the attributes defined by the administrator.

The guide further explains that process/source attributes can include File Name, Path, Hash, and Signer. It also states that when an exclusion contains multiple conditions, an AND relationship exists between the conditions. If an OR relationship is required, a separate exclusion must be created.

In this exhibit, both conditions are selected:

File Name = app.exe

Path = C:\Tools

Because FortiEDR applies an AND relationship between multiple exclusion conditions, the exclusion applies only when both conditions match. Therefore, FortiEDR excludes app.exe only when it is located/running from C:\Tools.

Option A is wrong because no Signer condition is selected. Option C is wrong because that would apply if only the file name were used broadly. Option D is wrong because FortiEDR is not excluding every file in C:\Tools; it is excluding the process that matches both the file name and path conditions.

The correct answers are C and D .

The exhibit shows an exception created/updated by FortinetCloudServices after the file Update.exe was classified as Good . This aligns with the FortiEDR Cloud Service behavior described in the guide. The guide states that once FCS is connected, it can enable Tuning , which means automated security event exception/allowlisting. After a triggered security event is reclassified as Safe, an automated cross-environment exception can be pushed downstream and the event expires, preventing it from triggering again.

Option C is correct because the Event Exceptions window includes Triggered Rules , and the guide states that when editing an exception, the administrator can modify the Collector Groups , Destinations , Users , and the pairs of rules and processes that define the exception in the Triggered Rules area.

Option D is the Fortinet/FCS-related statement supported by the guide’s FCS behavior. The guide says FCS can enable follow-up actions, including Tuning through automated exceptions and Playbook Actions , and that playbook policy remediation actions are based on the final FCS determination.

Option A is wrong because the exhibit explicitly states “All the Raw Data Items are covered.” A partial exception would mean not all raw data items are covered. The guide explains that if an exception does not cover all raw data items, FortiEDR displays a different indicator and distinguishes covered from non-covered raw data items.

Option B is wrong because the exception scope in the exhibit is set to All groups , All destinations , and All users . The comment references device C8092231196, but that is not the same as saying the exception applies only to that device.

=========

The correct answers are A. %upload_file and B. %ipconfig_all .

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide states that FortiEDR Connect opens a console that provides direct access to a FortiEDR-protected device through a remote shell connection. This allows administrators to respond to incidents, run commands and scripts, collect and download forensic data, and remediate threats. The guide also states that the FortiEDR Connect terminal has a prompt where commands can be typed, and the Help button displays the supported commands and their parameters.

The guide further confirms that FortiEDR Connect supports FortiEDR-specific commands, Windows command-line access through %cmd , and Python commands.

For the exact command list, Fortinet’s official FortiEDR Connect technical tip lists the supported commands. In that list, %ipconfig_all is explicitly described as returning extended IP information, and %upload_file is explicitly described as uploading a file to the specified path. ( Fortinet Community )

Options C. %psexec and D. %timestamp are not listed as supported FortiEDR Connect commands in the official Fortinet command list. Therefore, they must not be selected.

=========

The correct answer is A .

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide states that the FortiEDR Cloud Service (FCS) enriches and enhances system security by performing deep, thorough analysis and investigation about the classification of a security event. It determines the exact classification of security events with a high degree of accuracy.

The guide further explains that the FCS classification process is performed through data enrichment and enhanced deep analysis and investigation enabled by automated and manual processes . These processes may include intelligence services, static and dynamic file analysis, sandboxing, flow analysis through machine learning, commonality analysis, crowdsourced data deduction, and more.

Therefore, FCS does not rely only on FortiGate firewall policies, local signatures, or raw Collector log correlation. It performs enriched cloud-based automated and manual analysis to classify the incident accurately.

=========

The correct answer is A. Set the organization parameter to Default .

From the first exhibit, the API query result for the Collector shows:

Collector name: Desktop-PC

Collector group name: Engineering

Organization: Default

State: Running

But in the second exhibit, the API request is using:

organization = Fortinet-Training

collectors = Desktop-PC

targetCollectorGroup = High Security Collector Group

That organization value is wrong. The Collector belongs to the Default organization, so the API request must reference the Collector’s actual organization. Otherwise FortiEDR cannot locate or move that Collector under the organization specified in the request.

The FortiEDR guide confirms that Collector Groups are used to assign different FortiEDR policies to different Collectors, and that Collectors can be moved between groups/organizations in the Inventory workflow. In Hoster view, FortiEDR shows Collectors from all organizations and allows moving Collectors between organizations, but the organization context must match the Collector being managed.

Option B is wrong because the exhibit shows the API request is authorized; the failure is a 400 Bad Request , not an authentication failure. Option C is wrong because the endpoint shown is already a move/update operation using PUT, and the issue is not the HTTP method. Option D is wrong because Engineering is the current Collector Group. The goal is to move the Collector to High Security Collector Group , so changing the target back to Engineering would not isolate or harden the Collector.

=========

The correct answers are A and C .

For Fortinet Security Fabric correlation through FortiAnalyzer or FortiAnalyzer Cloud, the FortiEDR guide states that FortiEDR can integrate with FortiAnalyzer/FortiAnalyzer Cloud “to correlate data between FortiEDR and the Fortinet Security Fabric and issue eXtended detection alerts.” To complete this, you must configure an eXtended Detection Source connector and enable eXtended Detection rules and FortiEDR Threat Hunting event collection.

The prerequisites include connectivity from the FortiEDR Central Manager to Fortinet Cloud Services (FCS) . The same prerequisite list also requires either a FortiAnalyzer administrator account with JSON API access enabled or, for FortiAnalyzer Cloud, a valid FortiCloud API user with read/write access to the FortiAnalyzer Cloud portal.

Option B is wrong because a Forensics add-on license is not listed as a requirement for this integration. Option D is badly worded and not correct. A Jumpbox with connectivity to FortiAnalyzer is required, and the guide points to FortiEDR Core setup for Jumpbox configuration, but the answer option says Core with core-only functionality , which is not the stated requirement.

=========

The correct answer is A. Investigation .

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide states that Investigation actions enable administrators to isolate a device or assign it to a high-security Collector Group for further investigation of the device’s activity. Under the Investigation section, the guide lists the available investigation action types, including “Isolate device with Collector,” “Isolate device with NAC,” and “Move device to High Security Group.”

For Isolate device with Collector , the guide explains that the action blocks communication to and from the affected Collector, and it applies only to endpoint Collectors. If the Playbook policy is configured to isolate a device for a malicious event, then when a malicious security event is triggered, the device is isolated from communicating with the outside world for both sending and receiving.

So, this is not a Remediation , Custom , or Notification action. In FortiEDR Playbook policy terminology, Isolate device with Collector belongs under Investigation .
