In a standard FortiSASE agent-based deployment, the FortiSASE Endpoint Management Service (EMS) acts as the central control plane for all managed FortiClient instances. When an endpoint is onboarded, the system is designed to provide " zero-touch " configuration for the core connectivity and security components.

CA Certificate (A): For SSL deep inspection to function without triggering browser certificate warnings, the endpoint must trust the FortiSASE CA. FortiSASE supports automatically installing the FortiSASE CA certificate for managed agent-based users. Once the endpoint connects to the FortiSASE EMS, the service automatically deploys the CA certificate to the trusted certificate store of the client machine.

Tunnel Profile (B): To enable Secure Internet Access (SIA), FortiClient requires a pre-configured VPN or tunnel profile that points to the FortiSASE cloud infrastructure. In a new deployment with default settings, FortiSASE automatically pushes the tunnel profile (including gateway information and auto-connect settings) to the FortiClient endpoint. This allows the user to establish a full-tunnel connection to the nearest Security PoP immediately after onboarding.

Analysis of Incorrect Options:

Real-time protection (C): While FortiSASE can manage Malware Protection and Sandbox settings, specific " Real-time protection " features often require manual activation or specific configuration within the Malware Protection profile before being pushed; they are not necessarily " automatically " active in the absolute default state without a profile assignment.

ZTNA tags (D): ZTNA tags are dynamic security posture attributes. While FortiSASE evaluates the endpoint to determine which tags apply, the tags themselves are not " pushed " to the client as a setting; rather, the ZTNA connection rules are pushed, and the tags are synchronized back to the security fabric for posture enforcement.
