Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The firewall policy is configured for flow-based inspection
Inline CASB requires a proxy-based firewall policy that intercepts traffic to the SaaS application. If the policy is using flow-based inspection, CASB will not be invoked. Inline CASB works only with proxy-based inspection.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The firewall policy is configured for flow-based inspection
Why this is correct
Inline CASB requires proxy-based inspection; flow-based mode bypasses CASB processing.
- ✗
SSL inspection is not enabled
Why it's wrong here
While SSL inspection helps, CASB can still work on unencrypted traffic; flow vs proxy is the key.
- ✗
The CASB profile is not applied to the ZTNA rule
Why it's wrong here
The stem implies the rule is configured; profile application is likely correct.
- ✗
The SaaS application is not supported by FortiGate CASB
Why it's wrong here
If unsupported, the application might not be accessed at all; the user can access it, so it's supported.
