Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
D is correct: They can run multiple actions at the same time.
Explanation:
Automation stitches in Fortinet allow administrators to create automated responses based on network events. A stitch consists of:
One or more triggers – Events that initiate the automation (e.g., security logs, threat detections).
One or more actions – The response executed when the trigger condition is met.
Why D is Correct?
Automation stitches can execute multiple actions in parallel, meaning FortiGate can run different automated responses simultaneously instead of sequentially.
For example, if a malicious IP is detected, a single stitch could:
Block the IP address
Send an alert email
Log the event
All these actions can happen at the same time.
Why Not the Other Options?
A. They can be run only on devices in the Security Fabric.
Incorrect. Automation stitches can run on standalone FortiGate devices as well as in a Security Fabric.
B. They can be created only on downstream devices in the fabric.
Incorrect. Stitches can be created on any device in the Security Fabric, not just downstream ones.
C. They can have one or more triggers.
Partially true, but D is more correct because the key characteristic asked is about executing multiple actions at the same time.
