To audit FortiGate firewall policies in a multi-VDOM deployment, you need to validate per-VDOM segmentation, policy sequencing, and UTM binding completeness. This involves analyzing VDOM architecture and enforcing read-only checks across per-VDOM policy tables.

UTM binding completeness checks for proper coverage of AV, IPS, web-filter, app-control, and SSL inspection profiles on a FortiGate firewall. It verifies that these security profiles are actively bound to the correct firewall policies within each VDOM.

Yes, you can assess HA synchronization and SD-WAN security posture during a FortiGate audit. The audit analyzes HA drift and SD-WAN health state alongside FortiGuard currency checks to surface actionable configuration gaps.

Yes, the firewall audit procedure works with FortiManager-managed devices. It is specifically designed to analyze FortiManager-managed environments and multi-VDOM architectures to verify segmentation and security posture.

Your FortiGate audit requires read-only access to per-VDOM policy tables to enforce safe audit procedures and prevent configuration changes. It relies on these tables alongside UTM bindings and HA state to generate comprehensive findings.

The best way to validate FortiGuard signature health and VDOM segmentation is through a structured firewall audit. This process checks FortiGuard currency and analyzes VDOM architecture to surface actionable configuration gaps and ensure security integrity.
