By enabling you to understand the experience of every employee for every application, zero trust allows you to consistently deliver a great user experience. - Prevent cyberthreats
Enable full SSL decryption and cyberthreat protection, not just for users, but also for cloud workloads, servers, and SaaS applications. - Simplify user and branch connectivity
Transform legacy hub-and-spoke networks by allowing branches that rely on expensive MPLS links or connecting users over VPN links to enable secure direct connectivity over the internet to any destination, regardless of where the user connects. - Zero attack surface
Adversaries can’t attack what they can’t see, which is why the Zscaler architecture hides source identities by obfuscating their IP addresses. Because Zscaler removes an attack vector that traditional offerings expose, it helps to prevent targeting.
