What is the main advantage of using FortiSASE for secure internet access?

The main advantage of using FortiSASE for secure internet access lies in its ability to provide consistent protection without the reliance on endpoint-specific software. FortiSASE operates as a cloud-native solution, integrating security directly into the fabric of the internet rather than depending on traditional on-premises solutions or specific software on individual devices. This means that security policies can be applied uniformly across all users and devices, regardless of their location. It allows organizations to maintain a strong security posture as users connect from various networks, including remote or hybrid environments.

With FortiSASE, security controls await users in the cloud, ensuring they are always enforced, making it easier to manage security across distributed environments and reducing the need for constant updates or variations based on the endpoints being used. This approach not only streamlines security management but also enhances the user experience by minimizing potential vulnerabilities associated with endpoint-specific solutions.

In contrast, using FortiSASE does not directly address offline access, ease of installation, or significant enhancements to local network performance, which are aspects that are unrelated to its core value of providing cohesive, consistent security across diverse operational contexts.
