What type of policy is used to control traffic between FortiClient endpoints and FortiSASE for secure internet access?

The use of a VPN policy to control traffic between FortiClient endpoints and FortiSASE for secure internet access is correct because VPN technology specifically establishes secure and encrypted connections over the internet. This ensures that all data transmitted between the FortiClient endpoint and FortiSASE is secure from eavesdropping and other forms of interception.

In the context of FortiSASE, which is designed to provide secure access to the internet and cloud applications, a VPN policy facilitates secure connectivity, allowing the endpoints to securely access resources while protecting the confidentiality and integrity of the data being transmitted. This is essential in scenarios where sensitive information is in transit, ensuring compliance with security standards and best practices.

The other types of policies, while important in different contexts, do not specifically address the secure communication and encryption needs of the traffic between FortiClient endpoints and FortiSASE. An access control policy typically governs who can access what resources but does not inherently provide secure communication. A firewall policy focuses on filtering traffic based on predefined rules but doesn’t encapsulate traffic like a VPN would. A data encryption policy might specify how data is to be encrypted but wouldn't direct the actual traffic flow between endpoints.
