NSE7 Advanced Threat Protection Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are required for FortiGate to successfully obtain file verdicts from FortiSandbox? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Valid FortiSandbox license on FortiGate
A valid FortiSandbox license on the FortiGate is required to authenticate and authorize communication with the FortiSandbox appliance or cloud service. Without this license, the FortiGate cannot register with the FortiSandbox or submit files for verdict analysis, even if network connectivity exists.
