What are Points of Presence (PoPs) in FortiSASE?

Points of Presence (PoPs) in FortiSASE refer to the strategically placed locations through which FortiSASE services are delivered to users. Each PoP acts as a gateway that enables users to connect to FortiSASE services, facilitating secure and efficient access to applications and data, regardless of their geographical location. The distribution of multiple PoPs around the globe allows for enhanced performance, lower latency, and improved user experience, as the user's connection is typically routed to the nearest PoP.

While backup locations for data storage, authentication centers, and termination points for internet connections are relevant concepts in networking and security, they do not accurately reflect the primary role of PoPs within the FortiSASE framework. PoPs are essential in ensuring reliable and secure service delivery to users, thereby playing a crucial role in the overall effectiveness of the FortiSASE solution.
