Question 1 of 30
Consider a scenario where a FortiWeb WAF, deployed to protect a critical e-commerce platform, is configured with a dual-layer defense: signature-based rules for known exploits and anomaly detection tuned for deviations from baseline user behavior. Following a highly successful marketing campaign that significantly increases user engagement and introduces a variety of complex, albeit legitimate, search queries, the WAF begins generating a high volume of anomaly alerts. This results in a substantial number of valid user requests being flagged and temporarily blocked, impacting customer access and sales. Which of the following adaptive strategies would most effectively address this situation, ensuring both security and availability without compromising the integrity of the anomaly detection system?
Temporarily adjust anomaly detection thresholds to accommodate the observed increase in complex but legitimate user queries, while simultaneously initiating a review of the baseline traffic profile to incorporate the new patterns.
Immediately disable anomaly detection entirely to restore full access, relying solely on signature-based rules until a more comprehensive analysis can be performed.
Escalate the issue to the security operations center for an immediate manual review of every triggered anomaly alert, pausing all automated blocking actions.
Implement a static block list for all IP addresses exhibiting unusual query patterns, irrespective of whether they are identified as malicious or legitimate.
