An organization is struggling with scaling issues on its VPN concentrator and internet circuit due to remote work. The organization is looking for a software solution that will allow it to reduce traffic on the VPN and internet circuit, while still providing encrypted tunnel access to the data center and monitoring of remote employee internet traffic. Which of the following will help achieve these objectives?

A SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solution integrates networking and security functions into a single cloud-delivered service. This allows remote users to connect directly to cloud resources and the internet securely, bypassing the corporate VPN for most traffic. This reduces the load on the VPN concentrator and internet circuit, as only traffic destined for the data center needs to traverse the traditional VPN tunnel. SASE also provides encrypted access and centralized monitoring of all internet traffic. Building a load-balanced VPN or using a cloud provider for additional VPN concentrators would address scaling but not reduce overall traffic on the internet circuit. A low-cost SD-WAN might optimize traffic but wouldn't inherently reduce the volume or provide the integrated security and monitoring capabilities of SASE for remote users.
