Explanation

Protecting mobile users and campus and branch locations represents where cloud app security is deployed as a solution - it secures users in these environments as they access cloud applications, acting as a gateway or proxy to inspect and control traffic. This positions mobile and campus/branch as the attack surfaces (user access points) that cloud app security is specifically designed to cover.

Why the others are wrong:

• B (cloud apps) - Cloud apps are the destination being secured, not an attack vector that cloud app security itself defends against; they are the subject of protection, not a deployment scenario.
• C (voicemail) - Voicemail threats fall under unified communications or email/collaboration security, a separate product category.
• D (email) - Email is a major attack vector but is protected by a dedicated email security solution (e.g., secure email gateway), not cloud app security.

Memory tip: Think of cloud app security as protecting where users connect from - Mobile users and Campus/Branch offices are the two physical/logical locations that need a cloud security umbrella over their outbound cloud traffic. If you remember "where are the users?" you'll land on A and E.
