Why each option

Duo Network Gateway provides secure access to CI/CD pipelines by enforcing granular access policies and multi-factor authentication for applications, including those not directly accessible from the internet.

ADuo Network GatewayCorrect

Duo Network Gateway is specifically designed to provide secure, zero-trust access to internal applications and resources without requiring a full VPN, enforcing MFA and device trust for each access request, making it suitable for sensitive CI/CD pipelines.

Bremote access client

A generic 'remote access client' is too broad; while it enables remote access, it doesn't specify the granular security controls (like MFA, device trust, zero trust principles) that are paramount for CI/CD pipelines.

CSSL WebVPN

SSL WebVPN provides web-based remote access, but Duo Network Gateway offers a more modern, zero-trust approach with deeper integration for application-level access and strong MFA.

DCisco FTD network gateway

A Cisco FTD (Firepower Threat Defense) network gateway is a firewall and intrusion prevention system that secures network borders but doesn't specifically provide the application-centric, user- and device-contextual secure access mechanism needed for CI/CD pipelines in the same way Duo does.
