NSE7 Enterprise Firewall and VDOMs Practice Question
In FortiManager, what is an automation stitch?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
A sequence of automated actions triggered by a specific event
An automation stitch in FortiManager is a sequence of automated actions (such as running scripts, sending alerts, or executing CLI commands) that are triggered by a specific event (e.g., a log message, a SNMP trap, or a schedule). This allows administrators to automate incident response and policy changes without manual intervention, directly within the FortiManager fabric.
