Exam FCP_WCS_AD-7.4 Topic 4 Question 18 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's FCP_WCS_AD-7.4 exam
Question #: 18
Topic #: 4
An administrator must deploy a web application firewall (WAF) solution to protect the web applications of their organization.
Why would the administrator choose FortiWeb Cloud over AWS WAF with Fortinet managed rules?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

SSL Inspection Requirement:
FortiWeb Cloud provides comprehensive SSL inspection capabilities, allowing it to decrypt and inspect HTTPS traffic for threats. This is a crucial feature for many organizations that need to ensure all traffic, including encrypted traffic, is thoroughly inspected (Option C).
Comparison with AWS WAF:
While AWS WAF with Fortinet managed rules provides robust protection, it might not offer the same level of SSL inspection capabilities as FortiWeb Cloud.
Other Considerations:
Option A (Manual WAF signature updates) is incorrect because FortiWeb Cloud updates signatures automatically.
Option B (PCI 6.6 compliance) is a general requirement for any WAF solution, not specific to choosing FortiWeb Cloud over AWS WAF.
Option D (Traffic inspection for malware) is a feature provided by both FortiWeb Cloud and AWS WAF with Fortinet managed rules.
