Zscaler and the Accenture Cloud Innovation Center in Rome: Pioneering Cloud Innovation and Security

Since its inception in 2018, the Accenture Cloud Innovation Center (ACIC) Rome has been at the forefront of developing advanced cloud-first solutions.

At Zscaler, we are proud to collaborate with Accenture at this cutting-edge hub, working together to create innovative, highly secure, and customized cloud solutions that enable seamless digital transformation. By leveraging a robust ecosystem of leading technology partners, ACIC Rome accelerates the adoption of emerging cloud technologies that are critical to our clients' business success.

Our partnership with ACIC Rome is a testament to Zscaler's commitment to digital security. Together, we develop advanced solutions that protect applications and infrastructures through a zero-trust model. This approach ensures comprehensive security by mitigating risks through intelligent and continuous access control. Our joint efforts have already resulted in successful projects that enhance the digital security of businesses across various sectors.

Secure Workforce: Empowering Remote Work with Robust Security

Through our collaboration, we provide cloud-based access and identity solutions to secure users and devices, enabling work from anywhere. Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) is a cornerstone of this effort, safeguarding users from web-based threats by delivering security as a cloud-native service. This ensures that employees can browse the internet securely while protecting their critical data.

Secure Workplace: Simplifying Network Connectivity and Security

We simplify branch and remote office technology by offering cloud-delivered network connectivity and security. Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) plays a pivotal role in this, providing secure and fast access to private applications—whether they are in the cloud or on-premises—from any location. By applying the principles of "least privilege" and "never trust, always verify," ZPA can replace legacy VPNs and remote access tools in just a few hours, reducing operating costs and accelerating the deployment of new offices and acquisitions.

Secure Workload: Protecting Applications and Data

Our deep defense approach secures connections for APIs, virtual machines, and container-based microservices, providing seamless access across on-premises, edge, and cloud environments. ZPA ensures secure access to applications without exposing the network, eliminating the need for traditional VPNs. Administrators can control access to applications on a need-to-know basis, safeguarding corporate resources and preventing internal and external threats. Additionally, Zscaler’s centralized dashboard enhances operational efficiency by providing real-time insights into network and security activities. Administrators can monitor configurations, set security policies, analyze traffic, detect threats, and generate detailed reports.

Fostering Innovation and Security

ACIC Rome continues to establish itself as a premier hub for cloud innovation, providing businesses with flexible, cutting-edge solutions that drive seamless digital transformation. Our synergy with Accenture enables us to foster stronger collaboration and deliver enhanced, innovative solutions by integrating advanced technologies. This ensures that companies can operate within secure and resilient cloud environments.

The solutions co-designed and rigorously tested with Zscaler offer tailored, robust protection, safeguarding the integrity of critical infrastructures and applications. This collaborative approach empowers organizations to excel in a secure digital ecosystem, unlocking new levels of innovation, agility, and long-term sustainability.

At Zscaler, we are excited to be at the forefront of this journey with Accenture's Cloud Innovation Center Rome, driving the future of cloud innovation and security.
