What is the purpose of Inline-CASB in FortiSASE?

The purpose of Inline-CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) in FortiSASE is to enforce policies through real-time visibility and control over cloud application usage. Inline-CASB acts as an intermediary between users and cloud services, allowing organizations to monitor and manage the actions occurring within these applications. This capability is crucial for maintaining security, compliance, and governance over sensitive data in the cloud.

Using Inline-CASB, organizations can implement security policies that dictate how data is accessed and shared across various cloud applications. By providing insights into user behavior and cloud application usage, it helps detect and mitigate potential risks such as data leaks or unauthorized access. This real-time enforcement of security policies enhances the organization's ability to control its cloud environment effectively, ensuring that all users comply with established protocols.

In contrast, other options do not align with the core functionality of Inline-CASB. Training users on applications, managing credentials, and data backups focus on different aspects of IT security and management but do not address the primary function of Inline-CASB in providing visibility and control over cloud applications.
