The Digital Experience Monitor (DEM) feature in FortiSASE is designed to provide end-to-end network visibility by monitoring the performance and health of connections between FortiSASE security Points of Presence (PoPs) and specific SaaS applications. This ensures that administrators can identify and troubleshoot issues related to latency, jitter, packet loss, and other network performance metrics that could impact user experience when accessing cloud-based services.
Here's why the other options are incorrect:
B . It can be used to request a detailed analysis of the endpoint from the FortiGuard team: This is incorrect because DEM focuses on network performance monitoring, not endpoint analysis. Endpoint analysis would typically involve tools like FortiClient or FortiEDR, not DEM.
C . It requires a separate DEM agent to be downloaded from the FortiSASE portal and installed on the endpoint: This is incorrect because DEM operates at the network level and does not require an additional agent to be installed on endpoints.
D . It can help IT and security teams ensure consistent security monitoring for remote users: While DEM indirectly supports security by ensuring optimal network performance, its primary purpose is to monitor and improve the digital experience rather than enforce security policies.
