Use Cases

Common security and networking use cases

adopt-cloud-based-web-security
Adopting cloud-based web security

On-premises secure web gateways (SWGs) are slow, complex, and leave security holes. Embracing the cloud native Zscaler SWG solves all these problems for users everywhere.

consolidate-endpoint-dlp-into-unified-data-protection
Consolidating endpoint DLP into unified data protection

Legacy endpoint DLP means another point product and another agent, fostering inconsistent security and headaches for users and admins. Comprehensive Zscaler Data Protection secures data wherever it goes.

replace-traditional-sd-wan-with-zero-trust-sd-wan
Replacing traditional SD-WAN with Zero Trust SD-WAN

Standard SD-WAN solutions enable lateral threat movement on the network. Zscaler Zero Trust SD-WAN connects sites via least-privileged connections between users, devices, and apps.

upgrade-from-vpn-to-zero-trust-network-access
Upgrading from VPN to zero trust network access (ZTNA)

VPNs are expensive, slow down user productivity, and leave your organization exposed to cyberattacks. ZTNA is a cloud-delivered, least-privileged solution that overcomes these weaknesses.

secure-access-for-byod
Securing access for BYOD (bring your own device)

Extending access to unmanaged devices usually means a trade-off between security and productivity. Zscaler secures third-party and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) access without trade-offs or agents.

choose-a-vdi-alternative
Choosing a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) alternative

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) involves expensive infrastructure, another device agent, and poor user experiences. Zscaler offers an agentless, browser-based alternative that’s faster, simpler, and more secure.

accelerate-it-integrations-during-m&a
Accelerating IT integration during mergers and acquisitions (M&A)

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) often call for complex network integrations, leading to scope creep, delays, and more costs. Zscaler offers secure, direct-to-app connectivity, circumventing network integration entirely.

stop-identity-based-threats
Stopping identity-based threats

Active Directory is difficult to secure, and manual posture assessments are costly and ineffective. Zscaler ITDR enhances visibility into identities, improves identity hygiene, and detects identity threats in real time.

deceive-and-detect-hidden-adversaries-in-your-environment
Deceiving and detecting hidden adversaries in your environment

Sophisticated threats can bypass typical detection controls and stay undetected for months. Zscaler Deception uses realistic decoys to lure attackers and generate high-fidelity alerts.

simplify-and-enhance-network-segmentation
Simplifying and enhancing network segmentation

Most network segmentation projects fail due to complexity and administrative burden. Zero trust segmentation means direct-to-app connectivity that doesn’t touch the network—and it’s easier to deploy and manage.
