Which engine handles application control traffic on the next-generation firewall (NGFW) FortiGate?
A . Antivirus engine
B . Intrusion prevention system engine
C . Flow engine
D . Detection engine

Answer: B

Explanation:

B. Intrusion prevention system engine.

The Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) engine on FortiGate handles application control traffic, along with other functions such as detecting and preventing network attacks based on predefined signatures and behavioral analysis.

Application control can be configured in proxy-based and flow-based firewall policies. However, because application control uses the IPS engine, which uses flow-based inspection, inspection is always flow-based.

It uses an IPS engine to analyze network traffic and detect application traffic, even if the application is using standard or non-standard protocols and ports.
