A company is in the process of migrating to cloud-based services. The company’s IT department has limited resources for migration and ongoing support. Which of the following best meets the company’s needs?

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is the best option because it integrates networking and security functions into a single, cloud-native service. This approach simplifies management and reduces the need for extensive on-premises infrastructure and IT resources, making it ideal for companies with limited IT staff migrating to the cloud. SASE provides security services like firewalls, intrusion prevention, and secure web gateways, along with network services like SD-WAN, all delivered from the cloud. IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is a security control that detects and prevents intrusions but doesn't encompass the broad networking and security integration needed for cloud migration with limited resources. WAF (Web Application Firewall) protects web applications from attacks but is a specialized security tool, not a comprehensive solution for cloud migration. IAM (Identity and Access Management) manages user identities and access privileges, which is crucial for security but is only one component of a broader cloud security and networking strategy.
