    Early packet filter firewalls would block non-compliant packets and silently drop them. Second generation firewalls examined network connections over time. Next-generation firewalls provide application visibility and control, web application firewalls, and intrusion prevention systems. They work closely with FortiGuard Labs to provide security. Firewalls control the flow of network traffic.

    Firewall

    --------
    In this lesson, you will learn how firewalls were created to solve early network
    security problems and how, as those problems changed, firewall technology has
    adapted to keep networks protected.

    Question 1
    What did early packet filter firewalls do when they detected a packet that did not
    comply with their rules? (Choose two.)
    Select one or more:
    Launched a DDOS attack on the sender’s IP address
    Blocked the packet and sent a message to the sender [CORRECT ANSWER]
    Marked the packet as suspect, but continued to send to the destination IP address
    Silently dropped the packet [CORRECT ANSWER]

    Question 2
    What three key, additional security features do next-generation firewalls provide,
    that legacy firewalls do not? (Choose three.)
    Select one or more:
    Application visibility and control [CORRECT ANSWER]
    Web application firewall [CORRECT ANSWER]
    Intrusion prevention system (IPS) [CORRECT ANSWER]
    Packet-filtering based on IP address

    Question 3
    What additional functionality did second generation firewalls provide that early
    packet filter firewalls did not?
    Select one:
    They looked up the IP address of the sender to determine if the source was on a
    suspect network.
    They examined packet headers to detect if the packet contained viruses.
    They observed network connections over time and continuously examined conversations
    between endpoints. [CORRECT ANSWER]
    They were stateless firewalls that allowed rogue packets that did not belong to an
    existing connection to pass through the firewall.

    Question 4
    What works closely with FortiGate next-generation firewall products to provide the
    highest level of network security?
    Select one:
    Gartner
    RFCs
    FortiGuard Labs [CORRECT ANSWER]
    NSS Labs

    Question 5
    In network security, what is the purpose of a firewall?
    Select one:
    To limit the number of users on the network
    To control the flow of network traffic [CORRECT ANSWER]
    To prevent authorized users from accessing corporate servers
    To prevent unauthorized USB devices from being plugged in to a user’s endpoint

    ATTEMPT #2

    Question 3
    With the explosion of the World Wide Web, the composition of network protocols
    skewed heavily towards HTTP. What challenge did this shift pose to legacy
    firewalls?
    Select one:
    Different web applications used the same HTTP port number, making it difficult for
    firewalls to distinguish between applications. [CORRECT ANSWER]
    HTTP was an application layer protocol that relied heavily on TCP.
    Firewalls did not have visibility into HTTP ports.
    HTTP request methods were too complex and diverse.
