What is the primary benefit of using FortiClient with ATP features in conjunction with FortiGate?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
It enables endpoint detection and response with automated quarantine through FortiGate
FortiClient with ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) features, such as Antivirus, Web Filtering, and Vulnerability Scan, integrates with FortiGate via the FortiTelemetry protocol. This integration enables endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities, allowing FortiGate to automatically quarantine compromised endpoints based on telemetry and threat intelligence from FortiClient, thereby containing threats at the network edge.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
It allows users to bypass security policies
Why it's wrong here
That would be a security weakness, not a benefit.
- ✗
It replaces the need for a firewall
Why it's wrong here
FortiClient is endpoint security, not a firewall replacement.
- ✓
It enables endpoint detection and response with automated quarantine through FortiGate
Why this is correct
FortiClient ATP can detect threats and trigger FortiGate to isolate the endpoint.

It provides a single sign-on portal for all users
Why it's wrong here
SSO is not the primary ATP benefit.
