What is the primary focus of FortiSASE in terms of security?

The primary focus of FortiSASE is to provide secure access to applications and data regardless of user location. This approach aligns with the shift towards a cloud-centric model where users are increasingly remote and need consistent security measures as they access various digital resources outside traditional network boundaries.

FortiSASE integrates security functions with network access, allowing organizations to secure their applications and data comprehensively. This is particularly important in today's hybrid work environments, where users may access resources from different locations, devices, and networks.

In contrast, monitoring user activity across all devices is an important aspect of security but it is more of a supporting function rather than the primary focus. Enforcing security policies on-premises only does not address the needs of remote or cloud-based access, thereby limiting the effectiveness of security measures in modern environments. Enhancing firewall capabilities at branch offices is also vital, but it does not encompass the comprehensive, location-independent security that FortiSASE aims to provide.
