What security measure does FortiSASE primarily rely on to monitor cloud application interactions?

FortiSASE primarily relies on Inline-CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) to monitor cloud application interactions effectively. This approach enables real-time visibility and control over users' interactions with cloud applications, thereby enhancing security by identifying and mitigating potential risks associated with data exposure and unauthorized access.

By utilizing Inline-CASB, FortiSASE can enforce granular security policies and provide advanced threat protection. This includes monitoring user behavior in cloud applications, safeguarding sensitive data, and ensuring compliance with organizational policies and regulatory requirements.

In contrast, static firewall rules would not be able to adapt to the dynamic nature of cloud applications or user behavior, making them less effective for monitoring those specific interactions. VPN tunneling, while providing a secure connection, focuses more on securing data in transit rather than monitoring application interactions. Endpoint anti-virus solutions primarily protect individual devices from malware and threats, but they do not provide the same level of visibility and control over cloud application usage as Inline-CASB.
