Will there be the ability to select the regions that we can assign to users? I have a lot of customers with staff in Philippines the need to provide a node/gateway there for SSE [since hopping via Singapore adds significant latency to their connection]

MicrosoftThat's great feedback, thank you for sharing. We are looking into these capabilities for future updates. Are you looking mainly towards private access based apps or internet based apps for these controls?
- The organizations I am thinking of are mainly using internet based [SaaS apps] including M365 and 3rd party SaaS As you may be aware there is a massive and growing workforce based in Philippines that is working for overseas companies and they primarily use applications that are not based in Philippines. [Since the companies are not based there]. They also tend to use a lot of latency sensitive tools like Teams and VoIP So having a local node is key for low latency access into Microsofts global WAN network.
- tdetznerUnderstood and makes perfect sense. We have published our list of PoP globally at: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/global-secure-access/reference-points-of-presence We will continue to add more PoP's in the future and the traffic can also ingress to the Microsoft network our global peering partners.
