    Study Notes

    FortiNAC Agents

    • FortiNAC agents facilitate tasks like security scanning, policy enforcement, and endpoint registration within a network.
    • A persistent agent is installed on the host and conducts ongoing security scans as needed.
    • Key functionalities of a passive agent include registering devices on network login and scanning endpoints without user interaction.

    Endpoint Compliance in Network Security

    • Endpoint compliance ensures devices meet security policies before accessing network resources.
    • The first step in implementing endpoint compliance is to define the security policies relevant to the organization.

    Agent Types and Functions

    • Dissolvable agents perform security scans and then remove themselves after verifying compliance.
    • The mobile agent is typically installed on mobile devices and must have a specific SSL certificate.
    • The persistent agent communicates back to the FortiNAC server at configurable intervals.

    Monitoring and Management

    • The zero-trust tag monitor provides insights into endpoint status, assessing compliance and security risks.
    • FortiClient-EMS dynamically manages groups based on zero-trust tagging, optimizing endpoint visibility.
    • FortiGate can monitor FortiClient endpoint information through diagnostic commands, enhancing oversight.

    Compliance and Security Measures

    • At-risk endpoints in FortiNAC are indicated by specific alerts, highlighting potential security concerns.
    • Drilling down into endpoint records can reveal compliance failure reasons, aiding remediation efforts.
    • Administrative templates for passive agents are installed in the FortiNAC framework for easier management and configuration.

    Integration with FortiClient-EMS

    • FortiNAC integrates with FortiClient-EMS to strengthen endpoint security, providing enhanced visibility and control.
    • To disconnect from FortiClient-EMS, endpoint users must follow specific procedures configured by the administrator.
    • In FortiNAC's control mechanisms, the SSL certificate validation process is critical for ensuring secure communications.

    Device Specifics and Policies

    • Various agent types are available for multiple operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
    • Jailbreak detection for iOS and root detection for Android is facilitated to enhance security by preventing unauthorized access.

    Scanning and Remediation

    • The “Renew IP” function in scan settings helps refresh IP assignments for hosts during scanning processes.
    • Failure remediation options in FortiNAC dictate the course of action when a compliance scan does not meet policy requirements.
    • The “Audit Only” option allows tracking of compliance scores without initiating remedial actions.

    User Controls and Preventative Measures

    • FortiNAC can be configured to prevent endpoint users from disconnecting during critical monitoring phases.
    • Unique settings within Endpoint Profiles on FortiClient-EMS dictate user access and disconnection protocols for devices.

    Endpoint Management and Reporting

    • Comprehensive visibility into installed applications enhances endpoint management capabilities through FortiNAC.
    • When a device's security assurance is inadequate (e.g., an invalid SSL certificate), FortiClient will react based on predefined settings, ensuring continuous protection.
