NSE6_WCS-7.0 Exam Dumps : Fortinet NSE 6 - Cloud Security 7.0 for AWS

Instance Metadata Traffic:

VPC flow logs do not capture traffic to and from the link-local address 169.254.169.254, which is used for accessing instance metadata (Option A).

DHCP Traffic:

DHCP traffic is not captured by VPC flow logs. This is because DHCP relies on broadcast and multicast traffic, which is excluded from flow logs (Option B).

Security Monitoring:

VPC flow logs can be used as a security tool to monitor the traffic that is reaching the instances. By analyzing the flow logs, administrators can detect suspicious activities and troubleshoot connectivity issues (Option D).

Other Considerations:

Option C is incorrect because flow logs do capture traffic to the reserved IP address of the default VPC router.

Option E is incorrect as VPC flow logs do not provide real-time log streams but rather capture data at intervals and deliver them to CloudWatch or S3.

Internet Gateway Requirement:

For an Elastic IP (EIP) to be assigned to an instance's primary ENI, the VPC must have an Internet Gateway (IGW) attached. The IGW enables the VPC to communicate with the internet, allowing the EIP to function properly (Option C).

Process of Assigning EIP:

Once the Internet Gateway is attached to the VPC, the EIP can be successfully assigned to the primary ENI of the FortiGate VM, providing it with internet access.

Other Options Analysis:

Option A is incorrect because the primary ENI is already in a public subnet.

Option B is not necessary and may not solve the issue without an attached Internet Gateway.

Option D is partially correct about the routing table but does not address the primary issue of needing an Internet Gateway.

SSL Inspection Requirement:

FortiWeb Cloud provides comprehensive SSL inspection capabilities, allowing it to decrypt and inspect HTTPS traffic for threats. This is a crucial feature for many organizations that need to ensure all traffic, including encrypted traffic, is thoroughly inspected (Option C).

Comparison with AWS WAF:

While AWS WAF with Fortinet managed rules provides robust protection, it might not offer the same level of SSL inspection capabilities as FortiWeb Cloud.

Other Considerations:

Option A (Manual WAF signature updates) is incorrect because FortiWeb Cloud updates signatures automatically.

Option B (PCI 6.6 compliance) is a general requirement for any WAF solution, not specific to choosing FortiWeb Cloud over AWS WAF.

Option D (Traffic inspection for malware) is a feature provided by both FortiWeb Cloud and AWS WAF with Fortinet managed rules.
