Which component is most responsible for real-time threat detection in FortiSASE?

The component most responsible for real-time threat detection in FortiSASE is the Inline-CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker). The Inline-CASB acts as a security layer that monitors and controls user access to cloud services, enabling it to detect threats and anomalies as they occur. It provides real-time visibility into cloud activity, enforcing security policies and identifying potential risks associated with user behavior and data exchanges.

The Inline-CASB can analyze traffic patterns, user activities, and data flow in real-time. This capability is crucial for identifying suspicious behavior, such as unauthorized access attempts or anomalous data transfers, thereby facilitating immediate threat detection and response.

In contrast, other components like content filters, SD-WAN configurations, and proxy server settings all play important roles in enhancing overall network security and performance but do not specifically focus on real-time threat detection in the same way as the Inline-CASB. Content filters may manage types of content but lack the dynamic threat detection capabilities that the Inline-CASB offers. SD-WAN configurations optimize network traffic but do not analyze it for real-time threats, while proxy server settings help manage web traffic but are not primarily designed for threat detection.
