Zscaler™ - SASE at a Glance
Last Updated: March 04, 2022
Modern digital business models are allowing new levels of customer and employee engagement by delivering globally available access to applications and services that is consistent, no matter where employees and customers connect or what devices they are using. The notion of network security when your users and applications are distributed is no longer viable in a digital world. Gartner developed a new model of networking and security that matches the requirements of the digital enterprise. They’re calling it the secure access service edge (SASE). The Zscaler Cloud Security Platform is a SASE service built from the ground up for performance and scalability. As a globally distributed platform, Zscaler ensures that users are always a short hop to their applications, and through peering with hundreds of partners in major internet exchanges around the world, Zscaler provides optimal performance and reliability for your users.
