Zscaler’s Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform enables organizations to unify networking and security into a seamless, cloud-delivered, zero trust framework. Built on the world’s largest security cloud, Zscaler Zero Trust SASE provides organizations with the fastest, most secure, and most reliable approach to connecting users, devices, and locations to applications and information—anytime, anywhere.
Redefining Networking and Security on a Zero Trust Foundation:
Traditional networking solutions, like SD-WAN, struggle to meet today’s complex challenges, often increasing attack surfaces, enabling lateral threat movement, and adding unnecessary complexity to IT environments. Zscaler SASE addresses these challenges by integrating advanced networking capabilities with industry-leading security services. At its core, the framework enforces zero trust principles to adaptively secure connectivity for users, IoT/OT systems, workloads, and business partners—without the overhead of legacy hardware-based models.
Key Capabilities of Zscaler SASE:
• Zero Trust SD-WAN: Delivers secure and high-performance connectivity by auto-selecting optimal traffic routes to cloud applications, the internet, or data centers, eliminating unnecessary backhauling.
• Secure Web Gateway (SWG): Protects users by inspecting and securing all web traffic, blocking malware, phishing, malicious downloads, and other incoming threats.
• Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB): Extends control over SaaS and cloud apps, ensuring the safe and compliant use of cloud services.
• Firewall as a Service (FWaaS): A scalable, cloud-delivered next-gen firewall that replaces legacy perimeter solutions to effectively block threats across all network layers.
• Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Provides secure, least-privileged application access without granting excessive trust or network visibility to users.
• Digital Experience Management (DEM): Delivers AI-powered insights into application and network performance, enabling IT teams to optimize user experience proactively.
The Advantages of Zero Trust SASE:
• Unified Infrastructure for Simpler IT Management: Consolidate networking and security into a single-vendor SASE solution, reducing complexity and improving operational efficiency.
• Enhanced Cyberthreat Protection: Apply inline protections such as data loss prevention (DLP), threat detection, and ransomware mitigation across all points of access.
• Seamless User Experience: Enforce high-speed security policies closer to the user, eliminating latency and ensuring uninterrupted cloud access.
• Reduction in Operational Costs: Eliminate the need for multiple point products and reduce reliance on expensive hardware solutions through a fully cloud-delivered framework.
Use Cases Supported by Zscaler Zero Trust SASE:
• Enable Secure Hybrid Workforces: Extend secure, zero trust connectivity to employees whether they are remote, on-site, or traveling.
• Optimize Connectivity: Simplify network configurations by routing traffic directly to the most efficient path while ensuring uncompromised security.
• Improve Threat Posture: Secure all traffic, ensure encrypted data inspection, and adapt defenses in real time to address evolving cyber threats.
• Reduce Risk Across IoT/OT and Partner Ecosystems: Safeguard workforce, IoT/OT systems, and business partners across distributed environments with a unified, secure connectivity framework.
