Question 1
Q1A Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) is designing a new FortiSIEM deployment for a large enterprise client. The client has three major data centers across different continents and an estimated event rate of 50,000 EPS. The key requirements are centralized management, high availability for the analytics and reporting engine, and local event collection and parsing at each data center to minimize WAN traffic. Which architectural design best meets these requirements?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
This is the standard and most effective architecture for a large, geographically distributed environment. The Supervisor/Worker cluster at the central location provides high availability for analytics, correlation, and reporting. Deploying Collectors at the client sites ensures that events are collected and parsed locally, significantly reducing the amount of raw log data sent over the WAN, as only parsed, compressed events are forwarded.
