In FortiSASE, which configuration is crucial for allowing specific site access while blocking others?

Application override actions are essential in FortiSASE for controlling site access based on specific applications or services. By configuring these actions, administrators can define how certain applications are handled within the network, allowing them to prioritize or restrict access to particular sites based on the application traffic.

This feature is particularly useful when there are multiple services or sites that you want to manage differently based on their importance or security considerations. For example, if a company needs to allow access to a cloud-based application while blocking access to potentially harmful sites, configuring application override actions enables this tailored approach.

While routing policies manage the paths that traffic takes and can influence access, they do not provide the granular control over specific application traffic that application override actions do. Similarly, authentication settings and network segmentation focus on user verification and their access boundaries, respectively, but do not specifically deal with the prioritization or blocking of site access based on application types. This makes application override actions the most suitable choice for the required configuration in FortiSASE.
