What is the primary characteristic of Security Service Edge (SSE)?

It is a framework that converges networking and security in the cloud

It is a hardware appliance deployed at each branch office

It is a type of firewall that only inspects encrypted traffic

It is a set of cloud-delivered security services that protect users and data

A global manufacturing company with 50 branch offices currently uses MPLS for site-to-site connectivity and a separate cloud-based security stack for remote users. The CIO wants to reduce WAN costs and provide consistent security for all users regardless of location. Which architectural approach best aligns with the SASE framework?

Use a cloud-based CASB and keep the existing MPLS network

Deploy a traditional firewall at each branch and use a central VPN for remote users

Replace MPLS with SD-WAN and integrate cloud-delivered security services into the same cloud platform

Keep MPLS and add a cloud-based SWG for all branch traffic

Which of the following is a common use case for SSE?

Managing IP address allocation for a network

Optimizing WAN traffic between branch offices

Enforcing consistent security policies for cloud applications

Providing redundant internet connections for a data center

A healthcare organization allows employees to use personal devices to access electronic health records (EHR) from home. The security team must ensure that only authorized users can reach the EHR application, without exposing the entire network. Which SSE capability should be configured?

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Which scenario is a typical use case for SASE?

A distributed enterprise that needs to combine SD-WAN connectivity with cloud-delivered security

A data center that needs to replace its core routers

A home user who wants to secure their personal devices

A small office that only needs a firewall for its local network
