Free Practice Questions for Fortinet NSE6_EDR_AD-7.0 Exam

The correct answers are B and C .

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide has a specific troubleshooting section named “A FortiEDR Collector does not display in the INVENTORY tab.” It states that after a Collector is first launched, it registers with the FortiEDR Central Manager and appears in the Inventory tab. If it does not appear, the first checks are to confirm that the device where the Collector is installed is powered on and has Internet connectivity, and to validate that ports 8081 and 555 are available and not blocked by another third-party product.

Option B is therefore correct in the exam sense because ports 8081 and 555 must be open for FortiEDR communication. More precisely, the Collector communicates with the Aggregator on port 8081 and the Core on port 555 , not directly to the Central Manager in every architecture. The option wording says “between the collector and the central manager,” which is technically loose, but the required troubleshooting item is still the port availability.

Option C is also correct because the same guide says to check that the endpoint is powered on and connected. In practical FortiEDR troubleshooting, this includes confirming the FortiEDR Collector service/driver are running on the endpoint; otherwise the Collector cannot register or report health.

Option A is not listed in the FortiEDR guide as a required step for this issue. Option D is not the best answer because the guide says logs are generally retrieved when Fortinet Support requests them, and Collector logs can only be exported for Collectors in Running status; a newly installed Collector that does not appear in Inventory cannot normally be selected from Central Manager for log export.

The correct answer is D .

The FortiEDR guide confirms that Playbook actions are automatic incident response actions configured under Security Settings > Playbooks and applied based on security event classification. It also confirms that actions such as Terminate Process and device isolation actions can be configured as playbook responses. For scheduled-query-triggered events, the guide states that FortiEDR can automatically apply the Playbook action assigned to the Collector Group that the triggering device belongs to.

For isolation, the guide shows that isolation actions such as Isolate device with NAC are configured under the Investigation section of Playbooks, and similar isolation actions are triggered automatically when selected for the relevant classification.

The uploaded guide does not provide a specific line saying “if terminate process fails, continue to the next action.” Based on FortiEDR playbook behavior, configured actions are executed independently. A failure to terminate a protected Windows process does not automatically cancel the remaining playbook actions. Therefore, the next configured action, isolate device , is still executed.

Options A , B , and C are wrong because the playbook does not pause for administrator intervention, does not stop merely because an email is generated, and does not cancel all remaining configured actions because one action failed.

=========

The correct answer is A .

The exhibit shows a FortiEDR Threat Hunting saved query using RemotePort:3389, scoped to a specific device, with Scheduled Query enabled, classification set to Suspicious , and a repeat interval of 15 minutes . TCP port 3389 is the standard RDP port, so the query is designed to detect RDP-related network activity for the selected endpoint.

The FortiEDR guide states that saving a Threat Hunting query can define it as a scheduled query to automate threat detection. It further states that when a scheduled query runs and detects matches, a security event is automatically created in the Incidents tab , and notifications are sent according to the security event configuration.

Option B is too absolute and therefore wrong. The specific query shown uses a network field, but Threat Hunting itself can search activity events across files, registry, network, processes, and event logs. Option C is wrong because the Community Query checkbox is not selected, so it is not configured as a shared community/global query. The guide states that Community Query must be selected to share the query with the FortiEDR community, including other organizations.

Option D is wrong because a scheduled Threat Hunting query generates an incident; it does not automatically block RDP unless additional playbook actions are configured. The guide says scheduled queries generate security events and may trigger configured playbook actions, but the query itself is not a blocking control.

=========

The correct answer is B .

In the exhibit, the incident status clearly shows Unhandled at the incident level and also on the event rows. The FortiEDR guide explains that every detected security event is initially marked as unread and unhandled , and these statuses help multiple FortiEDR Central Manager users track whether anyone has read and handled the message.

The guide also states that when a FortiEDR Central Manager user marks a security event as Handled , all users see it as handled. The process is performed by selecting the event and clicking Handle Incident or the flag icon, then saving the incident handling details.

So the valid observation from the exhibit is that the incident has not been handled by a console administrator .

Option A is not supported by the exhibit. There is no visible evidence that the policy is in Simulation mode. Option C is wrong because the incident is still visible, not archived or deleted. Option D is wrong because the status is explicitly Unhandled ; it was not handled automatically by a Communication Control policy.

=========

The correct answers are A and C .

The exhibit shows an audit/response action stating that IP address 74.125.235.20 was added to malicious IP addresses on firewall FortiGate . This matches the FortiEDR playbook action Block address on Firewall . The guide states that this action ensures connections to remote malicious addresses associated with the security event are blocked, and that a firewall connector must already be configured for this action. It also explains that a checkmark in a classification column means communication with the affected destination is automatically blocked when a security event with that classification is triggered.

Option C is the second best answer because FortiEDR events are initially classified by FortiEDR detection logic/Core, and the guide states that classifications are initially determined by the Core but can later be changed automatically by FortiEDR Cloud Service or manually. The exhibit shows “Classification Changed To: Suspicious (By Fortinet)” , but it does not say the event was manually classified by an administrator. So the event classification process is FortiEDR-driven, with later Fortinet/FCS-style automatic classification possible.

Option B is wrong. The exhibit shows one raw-data row with device cwinserv-32 +2 , which indicates more than one affected device/raw item is represented in the aggregation. So it did not occur on only one device.

Option D is wrong because the incident rows clearly show Unhandled . The guide states that security events are initially marked as unread and unhandled, and the unread/unhandled status helps users track whether anyone has read and handled the event.

=========

The correct answer is C .

The FortiEDR 7.0.0 Administration Guide states that for on-premises deployments, the on-premise reputation service requests missing hashes from the cloud reputation service . If a proxy is not enabled, it requests the missing hashes from the cloud reputation service through the manager nginx . If a proxy is enabled, the on-premises reputation service requests the missing hashes through the proxy.

So, when the local reputation database does not contain the requested hash, the on-premises reputation server does not ignore the request, wait for endpoint input, or automatically block the application. It queries the cloud reputation service for the missing hash reputation data.

=========

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 B and C .

The exhibit shows the event classification as Malicious . In FortiEDR, event classification can be performed by the Core and later updated by FortiEDR Cloud Service (FCS) . The guide states that the audit history shows the classification chronology and includes details when FCS reclassifies a security event after the Core’s initial classification. It also states that notifications can be based on either Core or FCS classification depending on whether FCS classification is received within the timeout period.

The exhibit also shows TestApplication.exe with Status: Running . That means the process was launched and is currently running on the endpoint. Therefore, C is correct.

Option A is wrong because the exhibit clearly shows Status: Unhandled , not Handled. The guide states that FortiEDR security events are initially marked as unread and unhandled, and users can later mark them handled through the incident handling workflow.

Option D is wrong because the exhibit shows rule indicators such as Invalid Checksum , Suspicious Packer , and Writable Code , but it does not prove that TestApplication.exe is “sophisticated malware.” FortiEDR classifies the event as malicious, but the guide’s Malicious classification means the event is verified to have malicious capability, is intended to harm the infected device, and has no commercially viable use; the exhibit alone does not justify the stronger claim “sophisticated malware.”

=========

The correct answers are B and C .

The exhibit shows:

FortiEDR Service: Up

FortiEDR Driver: Up

FortiEDR Status: Degraded (no configuration)

This means the local Collector service and driver are running, but the Collector has not received valid configuration. In FortiEDR, a Collector must register and communicate with the FortiEDR Aggregator to receive its configuration. The guide states that the Collector initially sends registration information to the FortiEDR Aggregator using SSL, sends ongoing health/status/security-event information, and receives its configuration from the Aggregator.

During installation, a non-customized Windows Collector requires the correct Aggregator address , Aggregator port 8081 , and registration password . The guide explicitly states that the Aggregator port should be specified as 8081 , and that the registration password must be entered during installation.

Therefore, an incorrect registration password or incorrect port number can prevent proper registration/configuration retrieval, resulting in a degraded/no-configuration state.

Option A is not the best answer because Windows Firewall being enabled by itself does not automatically cause this FortiEDR status; only if it blocks required FortiEDR communication would it matter, and the option is too generic. Option D is also not correct as written because the Collector receives configuration from the Aggregator , not directly from the Central Manager. The guide describes Collector-to-Aggregator communication for registration and configuration.
