• B
  17% (10)
• C
  71% (42)
• D
  8% (5)

Explanation

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is the correct answer because it is a cloud-delivered architecture that combines SD-WAN, VPN, and integrated security services - including a software-defined firewall - into a single, globally redundant solution purpose-built for remote workforces connecting from anywhere.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is a point solution that inspects and blocks malicious traffic; it does not provide VPN connectivity or serve as a broad network architecture.
• B. SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) aggregates and correlates logs/events for threat detection and alerting - it is a monitoring tool, not a connectivity or firewall solution.
• D. CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) enforces security policies between users and cloud services, but it does not provide VPN access or act as a full network security architecture.

Memory tip: Think of SASE as "Security As a Service at the Edge" - it bundles VPN + firewall + cloud security into one service delivered from the edge, which is exactly what a fully remote company needs.
