zScaler
Defining security with Zero Trust Architecture.
Services that help protect organizational data and networks from cyber threats, using cloud-based technology for security and ease of use.
Features of Zscaler Zero Trust
As organizations seek to enhance network security and data protection in the digital age, Zero Trust technology is an effective option, helping to reduce risk and increase confidence in data security.
Continuous Device Posture Verification
- Adhering to the core philosophy of “Never Trust, Always Verify,” zScaler establishes contextual barriers before granting access to corporate ecosystems. The Client Connector queries local system parameters: Is the native firewall enabled? Are recent OS security updates applied? Is a verified enterprise EDR agent running and updated? If a remote user disables their local protection or falls behind on safety patches, zScaler instantly modifies their privilege score, restricting access to internal corporate applications until remediation criteria are met.
ZIA & ZPA: Intelligent Multi-Tunnel Traffic Splitting
- The local agent intercepts outbound IP packets at the system driver level and securely segments the data into two isolated pipelines routed through zScaler’s global cloud network Routes standard public traffic (SaaS applications, general web browsing). The cloud architecture handles compute-heavy processes like Sandboxing, SSL Inspection, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP), saving local device RAM. Secures pathways to internal cloud data centers or on-premises networks. Instead of legacy VPNs, it establishes an “Inside-Out” connection. The server remains invisible to the public internet, completely neutralizing network scanning and Lateral Movement vectors.
Native EDR Partner Ecosystem Integration
- A frequent architectural inquiry from IT teams is: “Does zScaler replace our endpoint antivirus software?” The answer is no—they work in tandem. zScaler acts as the ultimate network-level enforcement point. zScaler integrates seamlessly with leading EDR agents. For example, if a third-party agent flags a malicious execution string or runtime exploit on the endpoint, it drops a telemetry payload to the zScaler connector. Upon intercepting an active compromise alert, the zScaler Client Connector instantly revokes the device’s authorization status, isolating it from internal private applications to contain potential breach spread.
ZDX (Zscaler Digital Experience)
- A significant advantage for System Admins and Helpdesk engineers managing remote workforces is the Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX) module. When remote users report connectivity lag, ZDX removes the guesswork. It calculates end-to-end performance degradation indicators, isolating whether the latency originates from the home Wi-Fi router, local ISP peering points, or the corporate destination application.
Experience the power of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange
For enterprises executing a Cloud-First or highly decentralized operational model, migrating to the zScaler Client Connector eliminates the endless cycle of maintaining vulnerable, hardware-bound VPN gateways. By offloading processing rules to a distributed Cloud Edge, the platform ensures consistent policy enforcement globally. It empowers SysAdmins to control network visibility effortlessly while perfectly complementing existing endpoint malware defenses.
