TheFortiSASE inline-CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker)component is designed to provide real-time security and visibility by beingplaced directly in the traffic path between the endpoint and cloud applications. Inline-CASB inspects traffic as it flows to and from cloud applications, enabling enforcement of security policies, detection of threats, and prevention of unauthorized access. This approach ensures that all interactions with cloud applications are monitored and controlled in real time.
Here's why the other options are incorrect:
* A. It provides visibility for unmanaged locations and devices:While inline-CASB enhances visibility, its primary function is to inspect and secure traffic in real time. Visibility for unmanaged locations and devices is typically achieved through other components like endpoint agents or API-based CASB.
* C. It uses API to connect to the cloud applications:API-based CASB is a different approach that relies on APIs provided by cloud applications to monitor and manage data. Inline-CASB operates directly in the traffic flow rather than using APIs.
* D. It detects data at rest:Detecting data at rest is typically handled by Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools or API-based CASB solutions. Inline-CASB focuses on inspecting traffic in motion, not data stored in cloud applications.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is the FortiSASE feature that ensures least-privileged user access to all applications. ZTNA operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify," providing secure access based on the identity of users and devices, regardless of their location.
* Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA):
* ZTNA ensures that only authenticated and authorized users and devices can access applications.
* It applies the principle of least privilege by granting access only to the resources required by the user, minimizing the potential for unauthorized access.
* Implementation:
* ZTNA continuously verifies user and device trustworthiness and enforces granular access control policies.
* This approach enhances security by reducing the attack surface and limiting lateral movement within the network.

FortiSASE brings the following advantages to businesses with multiple branch offices:
* Centralized Management for Simplified Administration:
* FortiSASE provides a centralized management platform that allows administrators to manage security policies, configurations, and monitoring from a single interface.
* This simplifies the administration and reduces the complexity of managing multiple branch offices.
* Eliminates the Need for On-Premises Firewalls:
* FortiSASE enables secure access to the internet and cloud applications without requiring dedicated on-premises firewalls at each branch office.
* This reduces hardware costs and simplifies network architecture, as security functions are handled by the cloud-based FortiSASE solution.
