• C. It provides the lowest total cost of ownership by reducing the need for physical appliances.
• D. You can fine-tune its settings to provide the optimum balance between security and performance for your environment

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights the capability of an ESA in hybrid mode to provide strong protection and control over outbound messages, which is critical for maintaining security.
