Global Secure Access Health

The question it answers: Are Global Secure Access forwarding profiles enabled and branch tunnels up?

Global Secure Access routes Microsoft 365, internet and private-app traffic through Microsoft’s security edge. A disabled forwarding profile or a branch whose IPsec tunnel is down means that traffic goes around your controls.
