Zscalers

Zscaler is a cloud-native cybersecurity company that provides a security platform delivered via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. Their core offering is the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, a platform designed to secure access for users and devices to applications and data, regardless of their location. This approach contrasts with traditional network perimeter security, instead focusing on verifying every access request before granting entry.

The Zscaler platform integrates multiple security functions, including secure web gateways, cloud access security brokers, and firewall-as-a-service, all delivered from a global network of cloud data centers. This architecture aims to simplify security management, improve performance by inspecting traffic close to the user, and enhance threat protection by analyzing all internet and application traffic.

Key features of Zscaler's services include advanced threat protection, data loss prevention, and secure access for remote users and branch offices. Their Zero Trust model operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify," requiring strict identity verification for all users and devices attempting to access resources. This helps to reduce the attack surface and prevent lateral movement of threats within a network. The company serves a wide range of industries, from finance and healthcare to government and technology, by providing a scalable and secure cloud-based security solution.
