When an incident in FortiAnalyzer is identified as a false positive and its status is updated to "Closed: False Positive," certain records and logs are updated to reflect this change.
* Option A - The Audit History Log Will Be Updated:
* FortiAnalyzer maintains an audit history log that records changes to incidents, including updates to their status. When an incident status is marked as "Closed: False Positive," this action is logged in the audit history to ensure traceability of changes. This log provides accountability and a record of how incidents have been handled over time.
* Conclusion: Correct.
* Option B - The Corresponding Event Will Be Marked as Mitigated:
* Changing an incident to "Closed: False Positive" does not affect the status of the original event itself. Marking an incident as a false positive signifies that it does not represent a real threat, but it does not imply that the event has been mitigated.
* Conclusion: Incorrect.
* Option C - The Incident Will Be Deleted:
* Marking an incident as "Closed: False Positive" does not delete the incident from FortiAnalyzer.
Instead, it updates the status to reflect that it is not a real threat, allowing for historical analysis and preventing similar false positives in the future. Deletion would typically only occur manually or by a different administrative action.
* Conclusion: Incorrect.
* Option D - The Incident Number Will Be Changed:
* The incident number is a unique identifier and does not change when the status of the incident is updated. This identifier remains constant throughout the incident's lifecycle for tracking and reference purposes.
* Conclusion: Incorrect.
Conclusion:
* Correct answer: A. The audit history log will be updated.
* This is the most accurate answer, as the update to "Closed: False Positive" is recorded in FortiAnalyzer' s audit history log for accountability and tracking purposes.
