What aspect of user and device security does FortiSASE ensure?

FortiSASE emphasizes the importance of continuously verifying the security posture of users and devices as they access various resources and interact with different networks. This continuous verification approach involves assessing the security status of users and devices in real time, ensuring that they meet defined security criteria before being granted access to sensitive applications or data.

This aspect is crucial because the threat landscape is continually evolving, and static security measures may not be sufficient to protect against new vulnerabilities or attacks. By regularly checking the security posture, FortiSASE can ensure that only compliant devices—those that meet the necessary security standards—are allowed to connect, thereby reducing the risk of breaches and data leaks.

In comparison, minimizing network traffic, ensuring lowest latency during access, and automatic software updates, while important in their own ways, do not directly reflect the core focus of FortiSASE on ongoing security verification. Minimizing traffic and latency are more about performance rather than security, and automatic updates primarily address vulnerabilities but do not actively monitor the security status in real-time. Thus, the continuous verification of security posture is a key feature that FortiSASE provides to maintain an effective security framework in a dynamic environment.
