What is the purpose of syncing ZTNA tags from FortiSASE to FortiGate?

The purpose of syncing Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) tags from FortiSASE to FortiGate primarily focuses on ensuring consistent security policy enforcement across both platforms. By syncing these tags, organizations can maintain a unified security posture that adheres to their security policies, regardless of whether users are accessing resources through FortiSASE or FortiGate. This synchronization allows for seamless integration and coordination between the two systems, facilitating a holistic approach to managing access controls and maintaining security across multiple environments.

When ZTNA tags are synced, they guide the decision-making process for access policies, ensuring that only authorized users have access to resources based on their specific security contexts and risk profiles. This contributes to a stronger security framework by allowing organizations to apply the same criteria for access and policy enforcement whether users are on-premises or remote.

The other choices, while relevant to network security and performance, do not specifically align with the primary role of ZTNA tag synchronization. Faster data encryption, optimizing bandwidth usage, and enhancing visibility of user activity are important aspects of network management but are more about network efficiency and monitoring rather than the core reason for syncing ZTNA tags, which is fundamentally about consistent policy enforcement.
