TheFortiSASE inline-CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker)component is designed to provide real-time security and visibility by beingplaced directly in the traffic path between the endpoint and cloud applications. Inline-CASB inspects traffic as it flows to and from cloud applications, enabling enforcement of security policies, detection of threats, and prevention of unauthorized access. This approach ensures that all interactions with cloud applications are monitored and controlled in real time.

Here’s why the other options are incorrect:

A. It provides visibility for unmanaged locations and devices:While inline-CASB enhances visibility, its primary function is to inspect and secure traffic in real time. Visibility for unmanaged locations and devices is typically achieved through other components like endpoint agents or API-based CASB.

C. It uses API to connect to the cloud applications:API-based CASB is a different approach that relies on APIs provided by cloud applications to monitor and manage data. Inline-CASB operates directly in the traffic flow rather than using APIs.

D. It detects data at rest:Detecting data at rest is typically handled by Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools or API-based CASB solutions. Inline-CASB focuses on inspecting traffic in motion, not data stored in cloud applications.
