NSE7 Advanced VPN and Zero Trust Practice Question
A FortiGate is configured with ZTNA inline CASB to control access to a SaaS application. The administrator wants to block uploads of files containing credit card numbers. Which ZTNA inline CASB feature should be used?
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
✓
Data leak prevention (DLP) profile
ZTNA inline CASB can apply DLP (Data Loss Prevention) profiles to inspect content. To block uploads with credit card numbers, a DLP profile with a credit card number sensor should be applied to the ZTNA proxy rule. Option B is correct.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Web filter profile
Why it's wrong here
Web filter profiles categorise URLs and domains; they do not inspect file contents for credit card number patterns. It is tempting because it controls SaaS access at the web layer, and would be correct for blocking categories of sites, not for detecting sensitive data inside uploads.
- ✓
Data leak prevention (DLP) profile
Why this is correct
A DLP profile inspects file content traversing the ZTNA inline CASB proxy, matching patterns such as credit card numbers and blocking the upload action. This directly satisfies the requirement to prevent sensitive data exfiltration to the SaaS application, which URL filtering or application control cannot achieve.
- ✗
Antivirus profile
Why it's wrong here
Antivirus profiles scan for malware signatures and cannot detect credit card number patterns in uploaded files. It is tempting because it inspects file content at upload, and would be correct for blocking known malicious payloads, whereas data-loss prevention pattern matching is required here.
- ✗
Application control profile
Why it's wrong here
Application control profiles identify and permit or block applications by signature; they do not scan file contents for credit card numbers. It is tempting because it governs SaaS application usage, and would be correct for restricting unsanctioned apps rather than inspecting uploaded data.
