Fortinet NSE5_FSM-6.3 Fortinet NSE 5 - FortiSIEM 6.3 Exam Practice Test

Answer : C

Answer : A

Grouping Events: Grouping events by specific attributes allows for the aggregation of similar events.

Grouping Criteria: For this question, events are grouped by 'Reporting IP,' 'Event Type,' and 'User.'

Unique Combinations Analysis:

10.10.10.10, Failed Logon, Ryan, 1.1.1.1, Web App

10.10.10.11, Failed Logon, John, 5.5.5.5, DB

10.10.10.10, Failed Logon, Ryan, 1.1.1.1, Web App (duplicate, counted as one unique result)

10.10.10.10, Failed Logon, Paul, 3.3.2.1, Web App

10.10.10.11, Failed Logon, Ryan, 1.1.1.15, DB

10.10.10.11, Failed Logon, Wendy, 1.1.1.6, DB

10.10.10.10, Failed Logon, Ryan, 1.1.1.15, DB

Result Calculation: There are seven unique combinations based on the specified grouping attributes.

Reference: FortiSIEM 6.3 User Guide, Event Management and Reporting sections, explaining how events are grouped and reported based on selected attributes.

Answer : C

FortiSIEM Architecture: The FortiSIEM architecture includes several components such as Supervisors, Workers, Collectors, and Agents, each playing a distinct role in the SIEM ecosystem.

Real-Time Event Correlation: Real-time event correlation is a critical function that involves analyzing and correlating incoming events to detect patterns indicative of security incidents or operational issues.

Role of Supervisor and Worker:

Supervisor: The Supervisor oversees the entire FortiSIEM system, coordinating the processing and analysis of events.

Worker: Workers are responsible for processing and correlating the events received from Collectors and Agents.

Collaboration for Correlation: Together, the Supervisor and Worker components perform real-time event correlation by distributing the load and ensuring efficient processing of events to identify incidents in real-time.

Reference: FortiSIEM 6.3 User Guide, Event Correlation and Processing section, details how the Supervisor and Worker components collaborate for real-time event correlation.

Answer : C

Enterprise Licensing Mode: In FortiSIEM enterprise licensing mode, collectors are deployed in remote sites to gather and forward data to the central FortiSIEM cluster located in the data center.

Collector Functionality: Collectors are responsible for receiving logs, events (e.g., syslog), and performance metrics from devices.

Link Down Scenario: When the link between the collector and the FortiSIEM cluster is down, the collector needs a mechanism to ensure no data is lost during the disconnection.

Event Buffering: The collector buffers the events locally until the connection is restored, ensuring that no incoming events are lost. This buffered data is then forwarded to the FortiSIEM cluster once the link is re-established.

Reference: FortiSIEM 6.3 User Guide, Data Collection and Buffering section, explains the behavior of collectors during network disruptions.

Answer : A

Threshold Management: FortiSIEM uses thresholds to generate alerts and incidents based on performance and security metrics.

Global Thresholds: These are default thresholds applied to all devices and metrics across the system, providing a baseline for alerts.

Per Device Thresholds: These thresholds can be customized for individual devices, allowing for more granular control and tailored monitoring based on specific device characteristics and requirements.

Usage in Performance Metrics: Both global and per device thresholds are used for performance metrics to ensure comprehensive and precise monitoring.

Reference: FortiSIEM 6.3 User Guide, Thresholds and Alerts section, details the application of global and per device thresholds for performance and security metrics.

Answer : C

Incident Creation in FortiSIEM: Incidents in FortiSIEM are created based on specific patterns and conditions defined within the system.

Group By Function: The 'Group By' section in the 'Edit SubPattern' window specifies how the data should be grouped for analysis and incident creation.

Impact of Grouping: The way data is grouped affects the number of incidents generated. Each unique combination of the grouped attributes results in a separate incident.

Exhibit Analysis: In the provided exhibit, the 'Group By' section lists 'Reporting Device,' 'Reporting IP,' and 'User.' This means incidents will be created for each unique combination of these attributes.

Reference: FortiSIEM 6.3 User Guide, Rule and Pattern Creation section, which details how grouping impacts incident generation.

Answer : A, C

License Renewal Process: When renewing a FortiSIEM license, it is essential to provide the system ID, which uniquely identifies the FortiSIEM instance.

Commands to Retrieve System ID:

phgetHWID: This command retrieves the hardware ID of the FortiSIEM appliance.

Usage: Run the command phgetHWID in the CLI to obtain the hardware ID.

phgetUUID: This command retrieves the universally unique identifier (UUID) for the FortiSIEM system.

Usage: Run the command phgetUUID in the CLI to obtain the UUID.

Verification: Both phgetHWID and phgetUUID are valid commands for retrieving the necessary system IDs required for license renewal.

Reference: FortiSIEM 6.3 Administration Guide, Licensing section details the commands and procedures for obtaining system identification information necessary for license renewal.
