Findings and Policy Relationship

Introduction

Findings are alerts triggered by FortiCNP security policies such as User Activity, Network, Data Scan, etc. The FortiCNP security policies determine the benchmark of the cloud security postures. When the policies are enabled, at any time when any policy is violated by user activity, configuration change, etc. , findings will be generated to alarm the cloud administrator to mitigate the security risk finding.

Prerequisite

The prerequisite to generate findings is to enable the security policies in POLICIES. For more details on enabling and configuring policies, please refer to Predefined Policy Configuration.
