For a customer looking to upgrade their legacy on-premises proxy to a cloud-based proxy for a hybrid network, the combination of Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and Inline Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) features in FortiSASE will provide the necessary capabilities.

Secure Web Gateway (SWG):

SWG provides comprehensive web security by inspecting and filtering web traffic to protect against web-based threats.

It ensures that all web traffic, whether originating from on-premises or remote locations, is inspected and secured by the cloud-based proxy.

Inline Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB):

CASB enhances security by providing visibility and control over cloud applications and services.

Inline CASB integrates with SWG to enforce security policies for cloud application usage, preventing unauthorized access and data leakage.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) private access use cases focus on providing secure and controlled access to private applications without exposing them to the public internet. The following two statements accurately describe ZTNA private access use cases:

The security posture of the device is secure (Option A):ZTNA enforces strict access controls based on the principle of least privilege. Before granting access to private applications, ZTNA evaluates the security posture of the device (e.g., whether it is patched, compliant, and free of malware). Only devices that meet the required security standards are granted access, ensuring that the device is secure before allowing private access.

All TCP-based applications are supported (Option C):ZTNA supports all TCP-based applications, enabling secure access to a wide range of private applications, including legacy systems and custom-built applications. This flexibility makes ZTNA suitable for organizations with diverse application environments.

Here’s why the other options are incorrect:

B. All FortiSASE user-based deployments are supported:While FortiSASE supports various deployment scenarios, not all user-based deployments are automatically compatible with ZTNA. Specific configurations and requirements must be met to enable ZTNA functionality.

D. Data center redundancy is offered:Data center redundancy is unrelated to ZTNA private access use cases. Redundancy typically pertains to infrastructure design and failover mechanisms, not access control methodologies like ZTNA.

FortiSASE provides several features to ensure secure access for remote workers. The following three ways are particularly relevant:

It secures traffic from endpoints to cloud applications (Option B):FortiSASE secures all traffic between remote endpoints and cloud applications by inspecting it in real time. This includes applying security policies, threat detection, and data protection measures to ensure that traffic is safe and compliant.

It offers zero trust network access (ZTNA) capabilities (Option D):ZTNA ensures that remote workers are granted access to resources based on strict verification of their identity and device posture. By treating all users and devices as untrusted by default, ZTNA minimizes the risk of unauthorized access and lateral movement within the network.

It enforces granular access policies based on user identities (Option E):FortiSASE allows administrators to define and enforce fine-grained access policies based on user identities, roles, and other attributes. This ensures that remote workers only have access to the resources they need, reducing the attack surface.

Here’s why the other options are incorrect:

A. It enforces multi-factor authentication (MFA) to validate remote users:While MFA is a critical security measure, it is typically implemented through identity providers (e.g., FortiAuthenticator or third-party solutions) rather than directly through FortiSASE.

C. It uses the identity & access management (IAM) portal to validate the identities of remote workers:FortiSASE integrates with IAM systems but does not use the IAM portal itself to validate identities. Identity validation is handled through authentication mechanisms like SAML, LDAP, or OAuth.

Onboarding a Secure Web Gateway (SWG) endpoint involves several components to ensure secure and effective integration with FortiSASE. Two key components are the FortiSASE CA certificate and the proxy auto-configuration (PAC) file.

FortiSASE CA Certificate:

The FortiSASE CA certificate is essential for establishing trust between the endpoint and the FortiSASE infrastructure.

It ensures that the endpoint can securely communicate with FortiSASE services and inspect SSL/TLS traffic.

Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) File:

The PAC file is used to configure the endpoint to direct web traffic through the FortiSASE proxy.

It provides instructions on how to route traffic, ensuring that all web requests are properly inspected and filtered by FortiSASE.

There are two deployment methods used to connect a FortiExtender as a FortiSASE LAN extension:

Connect FortiExtender to FortiSASE using FortiZTP:

FortiZero Touch Provisioning (FortiZTP) simplifies the deployment process by allowing FortiExtender to automatically connect and configure itself with FortiSASE.

This method requires minimal manual configuration, making it efficient for large-scale deployments.

Enter the FortiSASE domain name in the FortiExtender GUI as a static discovery server:

Manually configuring the FortiSASE domain name in the FortiExtender GUI allows the extender to discover and connect to the FortiSASE infrastructure.

This static discovery method ensures that FortiExtender can establish a connection with FortiSASE using the provided domain name.
