Zscaler Private Access offers secure, seamless access to internal applications without VPNs.
1. Automated user access management ensures that employees gain instant access to necessary applications upon onboarding and lose access immediately upon offboarding, enhancing security and operational efficiency.
2. Real-time threat response workflows can dynamically adjust access policies in response to detected threats, ensuring immediate mitigation and protection of critical internal resources.
3. Compliance automation ensures that access policies are continuously aligned with regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of non-compliance and associated penalties.
4. Automated incident response enables rapid isolation of compromised accounts or devices, preventing lateral movement and minimizing the impact of security breaches.
What is Zscaler Private Access?
Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) operates by creating secure and direct connections between the user and the application they need to access. This is achieved through Zscaler's global cloud infrastructure, which ensures the service is always close to the user, minimizing latency and improving performance.
Value Proposition of Zscaler Private Access
The primary value proposition of ZPA lies in its ability to provide seamless and secure access to internal applications without the need for a traditional VPN. This enhances security by adhering to zero trust principles and improves user experience by eliminating the need for complex VPN setups.
Who Uses Zscaler Private Access?
The primary users of ZPA are organizations that have embraced cloud transformation and require a secure method to access their internal applications from anywhere in the world. IT and security teams within these organizations benefit significantly from ZPA's simplified access control and enhanced security.
How Zscaler Private Access Works?
ZPA connects users to applications, not networks, significantly reducing the attack surface. When a user attempts to access an application, ZPA verifies their identity and enforces access policies based on the application they're trying to reach, their role, location, and other context. This process ensures that users get fast, secure access to the applications they are authorized to use without exposing them to the internet.
