Study Notes

Zero Trust Tags and FortiClient-EMS

Zero Trust Tags in FortiOS provide an additional layer of security for certificate authentication
FortiClient-EMS plays a crucial role in ZTNA certificate authentication by managing and issuing certificates
When the 'refresh' button is clicked in FortiClient-EMS, it updates the certificate list and refreshes the certificate revocation list
FortiClient-EMS handles compromised certificate private keys by revoking them to prevent unauthorized access
Zero Trust Tags differ from SSL certificates in that they provide an additional layer of security and validation for devices and users

FortiClient and FortiGate

FortiClient identifies a device attempting to access through FortiGate using a unique identifier
FortiGate plays a crucial role in the connection setup with FortiClient by acting as a gatekeeper and verifying the device's identity
FortiClient provides remote access to networks through a secure VPN connection
FortiClient Endpoint Protection includes various security technologies such as anti-virus, anti-malware, and web filtering

FortiLink and Network Architecture

FortiLink is a key component of Fortinet's network architecture, enabling a single pane of glass management for FortiGate, FortiSwitch, and FortiAP devices
'Zero-Touch Provisioning' refers to the ability to provision devices without manual intervention
'Single Pane Management' allows administrators to manage multiple devices from a single interface
'Virtual Stacking' of FortiSwitch devices controlled by FortiGate allows for centralized management and reduced complexity

FortiSwitch and FortiAP Management

FortiSwitch offers a key benefit of scalability when connected to a FortiGate with FortiLink enabled
Firewall policies can be configured for FortiSwitch VLans when integrated with FortiLink
Managing FortiAP devices with FortiGate provides a key benefit of centralized authentication and authorization
Authentication and authorization for FortiAP devices are handled using FortiGate's built-in authentication methods
Microsegmentation aims to block lateral movement traffic
Scalability in the context of managing FortiGate and FortiSwitch devices refers to the ability to easily add or remove devices as needed
Zero-touch deployment allows for automatic provisioning of FortiAP devices
Single pane management allows administrators to monitor and manage FortiAP devices from a single interface
Blocking intra-VLan traffic on managed switches benefits network security by preventing lateral movement
A critical feature of Security Fabric integration with FortiLink when managing wireless LAN using FortiAPs is the ability to provide a unified security policy across the network

Description

Test your knowledge on Zero Trust tags, which dynamically group endpoints based on operating system version and logged-in domains for network access control. Explore how FortiOS utilizes these dynamic groups to restrict or allow network access. Additionally, learn about ZTNA certificate authentication through FortiClient's CSR submission to FortiClient-EMS.
