What are two reasons a customer should move to a full SASE solution? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• ATo implement data encryption at rest
• BTo conduct regular security audits
• CTo improve application performance for remote users
• DTo reduce operational complexity

• A
  9% (3)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  88% (29)

Explanation

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) combines networking and security into a unified cloud-delivered service, and its core value propositions map directly to options C and D.

C is correct because SASE routes traffic through globally distributed Points of Presence (PoPs) closer to remote users, reducing latency and improving performance for SaaS and cloud applications - a key pain point that traditional hub-and-spoke VPN architectures cannot address efficiently.

D is correct because SASE consolidates multiple point products (CASB, SWG, ZTNA, SD-WAN, FWaaS) into a single vendor/policy framework, eliminating the management overhead of running separate tools with separate consoles, licenses, and update cycles.

Why the distractors are wrong: Encryption at rest (A) is a data security feature handled at the storage layer - it's not a SASE capability, which focuses on data in transit and access control. Regular security audits (B) are a governance process, not a technology solution that SASE delivers.

Memory tip: Think of SASE as solving two business problems - speed (cloud-native routing = better performance for remote users) and simplicity (one platform = less complexity). If an answer choice sounds like a process (audits) or a storage feature (encryption at rest), it's not a SASE selling point.
