Answer options
A: With FortiNAC
B: With FortiAnalyzer
C: With a Security Fabric automation
D: With an external connector from Threat Feeds Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. With an external connector from Threat Feeds
Explanation

The best way to automate a firewall policy using a daily updated list of IP addresses is by using an external connector from Threat Feeds. This allows FortiGate to dynamically retrieve real-time threat intelligence from external sources and apply it directly to security policies. By configuring Threat Feeds, the administrator can:
● Automatically update firewall policies with the latest malicious IPs daily.
● Block traffic from those IPs in real-time without manual intervention.
● Integrate with FortiGuard, third-party threat intelligence sources, or custom feeds (CSV, STIX/TAXII, etc.).
