NSE7 Advanced Threat Protection Practice Question
Which FortiMail advanced feature allows the administrator to rewrite URLs in email bodies to redirect users to a safe scanning service when they click on a link?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse URL Rewriting with Attachment Filtering, assuming both deal with malicious content, but URL Rewriting specifically targets links in the email body, not file attachments.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
URL Rewriting
URL Rewriting is the correct answer because it is a FortiMail advanced feature specifically designed to replace URLs in email bodies with rewritten links that redirect users through FortiMail's scanning service. When a user clicks the rewritten URL, FortiMail inspects the destination in real time for malicious content, such as phishing or malware sites, before allowing the redirect. This provides proactive protection against zero-hour threats by leveraging FortiGuard's web filtering and threat intelligence.
