What is the purpose of the FortiSASE solution?

The purpose of the FortiSASE solution is primarily to reduce hardware costs and simplify network architecture by handling security functions in the cloud. FortiSASE integrates secure access services with security features directly in the cloud, which helps organizations minimize their reliance on on-premises security appliances and infrastructure. This not only saves costs associated with purchasing and maintaining physical security devices but also streamlines the overall network management process by leveraging cloud-native capabilities.

By moving security to the cloud, FortiSASE allows for a more flexible and scalable architecture that can adapt to the needs of a modern, distributed workforce. This also enhances the ability to provide security for remote users and devices seamlessly, thereby improving operational efficiency and user experience.

In contrast, eliminating user authentication does not align with the comprehensive security posture that FortiSASE aims to achieve. Ensuring robust authentication mechanisms is crucial for maintaining a secure environment. Enhancing the performance of on-premises servers and improving the physical security of network infrastructure are not primary objectives of the FortiSASE solution, which focuses more on cloud-based security management rather than physical server performance or on-site security measures.
