Study Notes

Device Management Overview

Learn to configure user roles, teams, and manage user permissions in FortiSOAR.
Understand team hierarchy to maintain operational discipline through the principle of least privilege.

User Accessibility and Permissions

User access in FortiSOAR is determined by roles and team memberships.
Role permissions grant access to specific modules, ensuring users can only access relevant features.
The complexity of multiple standalone security solutions can hinder compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
SIEM solutions, such as FortiSIEM, help manage security complexities and map operations to industry standards.

Automation in Incident Response

SOAR solutions accelerate incident response by automating processes and reducing manual intervention.
Automated frameworks minimize context switching, addressing alert fatigue and enhancing response times.
FortiSOAR uses security playbooks to automate common tasks, allowing teams to focus on more critical operations.

FortiSOAR Licensing

Licensing restricts the number of active users and types of operations.
Two main license editions: Enterprise and Multi-tenant, each with specific capabilities.
Multi-tenant editions include:
- MT: Supports shared and distributed multi-tenancy.
- MT_Tenant: Designed for customer nodes in MSSP scenarios.
- MT_RegionalSOC: Enables regional SOC deployments with a complete SOAR platform.

User Management

Deleting users requires running a script on the FortiSOAR CLI; it cannot be done via the GUI.
User deletions should be handled cautiously to avoid losing ownership records.

Session Management Settings

Idle Timeout: Default of 30 minutes before a user receives a warning.
Idle Timeout Grace Period: 60 seconds post-warning before logging out.
Token Refresh: Default is set to every 60 minutes without user action.
Reauthentication periods are set to 24 hours for both dashboard and application users.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

FortiSOAR allows global enforcement of 2FA using TeleSign for SMS-based user verification.
All user profiles must be pre-configured for 2FA before enforcement to avoid lockouts.

LDAP Authentication Setup

LDAP authentication can be enabled and configured through the FortiSOAR Authentication menu.
Ensure LDAP is enabled to manage user authentication options effectively.
