A multinational corporation wants to streamline its network and security by adopting a cloud-native architecture. The goal is to provide secure, policy-based access for its distributed workforce, regardless of location, by converging networking and security functions into a single service. Which of the following solutions BEST fits this requirement?
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is the correct solution because it is a cloud-native framework that converges networking capabilities (like SD-WAN) and security functions (such as FWaaS, CASB, and ZTNA) into a single, integrated cloud service. It is specifically designed to provide secure and efficient access for a distributed workforce. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is incorrect as it primarily protects web applications from application-layer attacks. A Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance is typically an on-premises, all-in-one security box and is not inherently cloud-native or designed for a distributed service model. A Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) provides advanced firewall capabilities but does not, by itself, constitute a converged networking and security service model delivered from the cloud.
