What is a key benefit of using security fabric to set up Fortianalyzer?

Utilizing security fabric to configure FortiAnalyzer offers various advantages, and one prominent benefit is the automatic registration of downstream FortiGate devices. This feature streamlines the management and integration of multiple FortiGate devices into the security fabric architecture. When FortiGate devices are part of the security fabric, they can communicate effectively with FortiAnalyzer, which enables automatic registration and configuration, thereby simplifying operational processes for administrators.

This automation reduces manual intervention needed to set up each FortiGate, allowing for quicker deployment and less opportunity for errors during configuration. The seamless integration helps in maintaining a cohesive security posture across the network. Thus, this functionality significantly enhances the overall efficiency within the managed security environment, ensuring that all components work together optimally without requiring extensive manual configuration.

The other options, while they might sound appealing, do not capture the essence of how security fabric directly interacts with FortiAnalyzer in terms of automatic device registration and the resulting benefits of that integration.
