Authentic Fortinet Certification Exam FCP_FSA_AD-5.0 Questions Answers

From the Attack Methodologies lesson, the Study Guide explicitly states:

" During the lateral movement stage, the attacker is trying to compromise and infect other computers in the network. If these computers are protected with FortiClient, FortiClient can send any file that the computer downloads, to FortiSandbox for analysis. "

" FortiDeceptor creates a network of decoys, to lure attackers and monitor their activities on the network. When attackers attack a decoy, an alert is generated. FortiDeceptor engages FortiSandBox to get a verdict on the suspected malware. "

" If you deploy FortiGate as an ISFW firewall, FortiGate can analyze the traffic moving across subnets and send any files to FortiSandbox for analysis to prevent propagation. "

Both FortiDeceptor (Option B) and FortiGate (Option D) are specifically identified as protecting against the lateral movement stage through their FortiSandbox integration.

The correct answer is C. cleandb . The FortiSandbox 5.0 Administrator Study Guide explicitly states: “The cleandb command will erase all stored data in the FortiSandbox database and reboot the system.” This directly matches the scenario, because the issue is that FortiSandbox contains many obsolete samples and related stored analysis data that are no longer needed. Removing those database contents is exactly what cleandb is designed to do.

The other options do not fit this requirement. The same study guide section says “The log-purge command will remove all system logs,” which affects logs only, not the stored sample database. It also says “The fsck-storage command will check the integrity of the hard disks and repair them if any issues are discovered,” which is for disk integrity troubleshooting, not cleanup of obsolete samples. A factory reset would be far more destructive and is not the stated maintenance tool for this issue. Therefore, cleandb is the correct CLI remediation tool.

From the Deployment and System Settings lesson, the Study Guide explicitly states:

" The status command shows information about the system, including firmware level, device serial number, disk usage, Windows VM status, states of the boot and data disks, and more. For VM appliances, it will also show the FortiSandbox license status. "

The key phrase is " For VM appliances, it will also show the FortiSandbox license status " — making the status command the correct choice for verifying license validity on a FortiSandbox VM deployment.

While vm-license -l shows installed Windows/Microsoft Office license keys, and vm-status shows guest VM image information, neither directly reports on the FortiSandbox appliance license validity. The status command is the definitive command for checking overall system and license status.
