What is the FortiSASE inline-CASB component designed to do?

The inline-CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) component of FortiSASE is specifically designed to provide real-time security and visibility by operating directly in the traffic path between the user's endpoint and the cloud applications they are accessing. This positioning allows the inline-CASB to monitor and manage data traffic effectively, enabling it to enforce security policies, detect unusual behavior, and protect against threats, such as data breaches or unauthorized access to sensitive information.

This functionality is crucial in today’s environment where many organizations utilize cloud services, as it helps ensure that cloud activities align with organizational security and compliance protocols. By being inline, it can inspect and control traffic in real-time, rather than relying on post-incident analysis, which enhances the organization's ability to respond swiftly to security incidents.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately describe the primary role of FortiSASE's inline-CASB. While educational resources, management of physical servers, or a complete replacement of other security devices may be relevant to the wider scope of information security or cloud management, they do not capture the specific real-time protective capabilities central to the inline-CASB's function in FortiSASE.
