Which element of a secure access service edge (SASE)-enabled network uses many points of presence to reduce latency with support of in-country or in-region resources and regulatory requirements?

Question

Options

• Acloud-native, cloud-based delivery
• Bconverged WAN edge and network security
• Cbroad network-edge support
• Didentity and network location

• A
  92% (23)
• B
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Cloud-native, cloud-based delivery is correct because this SASE component is built on a globally distributed network of Points of Presence (PoPs) - regional infrastructure nodes that process traffic locally, reducing round-trip latency and enabling data to stay within a country or region to meet sovereignty and compliance requirements.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (converged WAN edge and network security) describes the integration of SD-WAN and security functions into one stack - it's about eliminating separate appliances, not geographic PoP distribution.
• C (broad network-edge support) refers to supporting diverse endpoint types (branches, mobile users, IoT) at the edge, not latency optimization through regional nodes.
• D (identity and network location) describes how SASE makes access decisions based on who and what is connecting rather than just IP addresses - a policy concept, not an infrastructure distribution concept.

Memory tip: Associate "cloud-native delivery" with cloud geography - just as clouds exist everywhere in the sky, cloud-native SASE deploys PoPs everywhere on the map, putting security infrastructure close to users in every region.
