Cloud-Based Services: Security and Parental-Controls |
| To increase margins and reduce customer churn, Service Providers can differentiate by offering premium services such as “clean” network based security protection and parental controls that allows family-friendly email and web surfing protection as well as time-of-day curfews to limit online gaming and social network sites. To ensure customer satisfaction, these services need to go far beyond a simple list of already-known phishing sites and viruses. |

| As Easy for Users as Getting an Email Account |
| While users and families are aware of online threats, they will only sign up for services that offer value at low cost and are as easy to set up as email. Cloud based security services are set up with a few online clicks and do not require the high cost of sales and support related to offering traditional PC security software. |
| Online Threats Are Evolving and Publicity is Rapidly Increasing Consumer Awareness |
| Users need more than the standard list of already-known virus and spyware signatures offered by PC based security software. Users expect protection from zero-day viruses and spyware which are not already known as well as protection from uncontrolled user generated content at sites such as MySpace, Facebook and eBay. |
| Massive Scalability Enables Cost-Effective Platform to Support Millions of Users |
| Rather than attempt to repackage and artificially reposition traditional security server software as a cloud based platform, Zscaler has invested two years to develop a completely new technology platform that scales to support millions of users with no noticeable latency added to transactions. |
| High Margin Business Model with No CAPEX Required |
| With a simple UI that allows users to sign-up online and self-manage their settings, Service Providers can offer premium services with high-margin recurring monthly revenues without adding sales or support resources. With Zscaler, there is a revenue-share business model no equipment to buy and no software license to buy. |
| Network Deployment Models |
| Depending on the size of the Service Provider network, the Zscaler platform can be deployed in the network or traffic can be directed to the existing Zscaler global security cloud. Zscaler takes care of software management and security updates, while the Service Provider has monitoring and network management tools. |
