NSEI_OTS_AR-7.6 Practice Questions

The correct answers are A and D . The study guide provides a direct use case called Attack Detection and Automated Alert . It states: “A downstream FortiGate detects an attack and sends logs to FortiAnalyzer. FortiAnalyzer parses the logs and notifies the root FortiGate. The root FortiGate triggers the action, which in this case, is a notification to the administrator.” The same slide also explicitly shows “Stitches configured on root FortiGate.” This confirms that to send the automated alert, you must configure the automation stitch on the root FortiGate .

The second required configuration is an event handler on FortiAnalyzer . The guide explains that “Event handlers generate events” and that “FortiAnalyzer uses event handlers to filter all incoming logs. If logs match the conditions configured in an event handler, FortiAnalyzer generates an event.” Since FortiAnalyzer must detect the attack from the received logs before notifying the root FortiGate, an event handler is required on FortiAnalyzer.

Option B is incorrect because the study guide does not identify a LOCALHOST task as the required configuration for this attack-alert flow. Option C is also incorrect because the question asks what must be configured to enable the automated alert workflow . An IPS profile may detect some attacks, but the required automation path in the study guide is specifically event handler on FortiAnalyzer + stitch on the root FortiGate .
