FSCP Dumps With Exact Questions and Answers

Based on the image showing "Meets the following criteria" radio button selected (as opposed to "Does not meet the following criteria"), the correct statement is: "Has no effect on irresolvable hosts".​

Understanding "Meets the following criteria":

According to the Forescout policy configuration documentation:​

When "Meets the following criteria" is selected:

Normal Evaluation - The condition is evaluated as written

No Negation - There is NO inversion of logic

Irresolvable Handling - Separate setting; the "Meets" choice does NOT affect irresolvable handling

Irresolvable Hosts - Independent Setting:

According to the policy sub-rule advanced options documentation:​

"The 'Meets the following criteria' radio button and the 'Evaluate irresolvable as' checkbox are independent settings."

"Meets the following criteria" - Controls normal/negated evaluation

"Evaluate irresolvable as" - Controls how unresolvable properties are treated

The selection of "Meets the following criteria" has no specific effect on how irresolvable hosts are handled.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B. Generates a NOT condition - "Meets" does NOT generate NOT; it's the normal condition

C. Negates the criteria outside - "Meets" does not negate anything; it's the affirmative option

D. Modifies irresolvable condition to TRUE - The "Evaluate irresolvable as" setting controls that, not "Meets"

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract of Forescout Platform Administration and Deployment:

According to the Forescout Administration Guide and Syslog Plugin Configuration Guide, specific events detected by CounterACT can be permanently recorded with a custom message for auditing purposes by customizing the message on the send syslog action.​

Send Message to Syslog Action:

According to the official documentation:​

"You can send customized messages to Syslog for specific endpoints using the Forescout eyeSight Send Message to Syslog action, either manually or based on policies."

How to Configure Custom Messages:

According to the Syslog Plugin Configuration Guide:​

Create or Edit a Policy - Select a policy and edit the Main Rule section

Add an Action - In the Actions section, select "Add"

Select Send Message to Syslog - From the Audit folder, select "Send Message to Syslog"

Customize the Message - Specify the custom message to send when the policy is triggered

Custom Message Configuration:

According to the documentation:​

When configuring the "Send Message to Syslog" action, you specify:

Message to syslog - Type a custom message to send to the syslog server when the policy is triggered

Message Identity - Free-text field for identifying the syslog message

Syslog Server Address - The syslog server to receive the message

Syslog Server Port - Typically port 514

Syslog Server Protocol - TCP or UDP

Syslog Facility - Message facility classification

Syslog Priority - Severity level (e.g., Info)

Example Implementation for P2P Compliance Violation:

According to the configuration guide:​

For a P2P compliance violation event, you would:

Create a policy that detects P2P traffic violations

Add a "Send Message to Syslog" action

Customize the message to something like: "P2P VIOLATION: Endpoint [IP] detected unauthorized P2P application traffic"

Configure the syslog server details

When the condition is triggered, CounterACT sends the custom message to syslog for permanent auditing

Permanent Recording:

According to the documentation:​

The messages sent to syslog are:

Permanently recorded on the syslog server

Timestamped automatically by Forescout and/or the syslog server

Available for audit trails and compliance reports

Can be forwarded to SIEM systems like Splunk or EventTracker for further analysis

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B. Increase the "Purge Inactivity Timeout" setting - This relates to device timeout, not event recording or custom messages

C. Customize the message in the Reports Portal - The Reports Portal displays reports but does not customize messages for syslog events

D. Configure a custom SNMP trap - SNMP traps are for network device management, not for recording Forescout events

E. Customize the message in the syslog configuration in Options > Core Ext > Syslog - While syslog configuration is done here, the actual custom messages are configured in the "Send Message to Syslog" action within policies

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract of Forescout Platform Administration and Deployment:

According to the Forescout Administration Guide, one policy can be set to run first by categorizing the Policy as a classifier. Classifier policies run before other policy types.​

Policy Categorization and Execution Order:

According to the Forescout Administration Guide:​

Forescout supports different policy categories, and these categories determine execution order:

Classifier Policies - Run FIRST

Used for initial device classification

Establish basic device properties (OS, Function, Network Function)

Must complete before other policies can evaluate classification properties

Assessment Policies - Run AFTER classifiers

Assess compliance based on classified properties

Depend on classifier output

Control/Action Policies - Run LAST

Apply remediation actions

Depend on assessment results

How Classifier Policies Run First:

According to the documentation:​

"When you categorize a policy as a classifier, it runs before assessment and action policies. This allows the classified properties to be established before other policies attempt to evaluate them."

Reason for Classifier Priority:

According to the policy execution guidelines:​

Classifier policies must run first because:

Dependency Resolution - Other policies depend on classification properties

Property Population - Classifiers populate device properties used by other policies

Execution Efficiency - Classifiers determine what type of device is being evaluated

Logical Flow - You must know what a device is before assessing or controlling it

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. There is no way to cause one policy to run first - Incorrect; categorization determines execution order

B. Setting Main Rule condition to utilize primary classification - While main rule conditions can reference classification, this doesn't change policy execution order

C. Categorizing the Policy as an assessment policy - Assessment policies run AFTER classifier policies, not first

E. Using Irresolvable criteria - Irresolvable criteria handling doesn't affect policy execution order

Policy Categorization Example:

According to the documentation:​

text

Policy Execution Order:

1. CLASSIFIER Policies (Run First)

- "Device Classification Policy" (categorized as Classifier)

- Resolves: OS, Function, Network Function

2. ASSESSMENT Policies (Run Second)

- "Windows Compliance Policy" (categorized as Assessment)

- Depends on classification from step 1

3. ACTION Policies (Run Last)

- "Remediate Non-Compliant Devices" (categorized as Control)

- Depends on assessment from step 2

In this workflow, because "Device Classification Policy" is categorized as a Classifier, it executes first, populating device properties that the subsequent Assessment and Action policies need.
