Remote workers at a law firm send Microsoft 365 through a cloud security provider before it reaches Microsoft. They do not use the office internet gateway. Which SaaS model is this?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The office gateway is not in the picture, and Microsoft is not the first stop. You send the remote workers through the cloud security provider, which is indirect access. A dedicated circuit from each home was not ordered, and direct access would skip the provider.
Full Explanation
Indirect SaaS access inserts a cloud security provider between the user and the application. The remote workers go there first and do not use the office internet gateway, so this is not the centralized office model and it is not an uninspected direct breakout. Direct internet access would send them to Microsoft with no security provider in the path. The stem puts the provider first. A dedicated private circuit from each home to Microsoft is not described and is not how these workers are attached. Exam caveat: the provider's path onward to Microsoft may still use the internet. Indirect names the inspection hop. It does not promise a private last mile from the home. Operational check: a remote session should hit the cloud security provider's address before Microsoft, and the office firewall should not see that session.
