The latest Zscaler solutions are built on a Zero Trust architecture that prevents ransomware attacks by blocking lateral threat movement.
Zscaler has unveiled the Zero Trust Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and announced the general availability of its Zero Trust software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solution. The new Zscaler solutions reflect an improvement over the traditional network and firewall architectures. These solutions are built on a Zero Trust architecture that prevents ransomware attacks by blocking lateral threat movement.
Naresh Kumar, VP, of product management, Zscaler, said, “Zscaler Zero Trust SD-WAN plans to connect and secure users, devices, sites, and workloads using our single-vendor SASE platform, without the cyber risks of traditional SD-WAN.”
Christopher Rodriguez, research director, security and trust, IDC, said, “With an emphasis on its Zero Trust heritage, Zscaler has made a move to introduce a solution that combines its SSE platform with a new Zero Trust SD-WAN offering that can help these enterprises on their SASE journey.”
Zscaler SD-WAN offers plug-and-play devices for customers seeking upgraded secure connectivity. This solution includes Integrated Security Service at Edge and centralised management. The Integrated Security Service at Edge brings together multiple security solutions at the network edge, creating a unified defence mechanism. It combines Firewall as a Service, Secure Web Gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker and Data Loss Prevention for comprehensive security.
Zscaler Zero Trust SASE is the industry’s first single-vendor SASE solution, which is built on the company’s Zero Trust AI. It helps organisations cut down on costs and simplify security by implementing the Zero Trust measures for users, devices and workloads.
