MODERN ARCHITECTURE FOR A CLOUD AND
MOBILE-FIRST WORLD
Zscaler SASE (Secure Access Service Edge)
THE NEW REALITY
Status quo is inhibiting digital business
For decades, networks have connected users to applications in on-premises data centers, set behind perimeter firewalls and VPNs to keep apps and data safe from outside threats. Today, with apps moving to cloud services, IoT devices proliferating, and remote users connecting from everywhere, traditional enterprise network security solutions can't solve the fundamental challenge of cybersecurity anymore. Instead, they’re piling on complexity and costs.
More applications live outside the data center
Sensitive data is located in multiple cloud apps
Users are connecting from everywhere
“The secure access service edge is an emerging offering combining comprehensive WAN capabilities with comprehensive network security functions (such as SWG, CASB, FWaaS, and ZTNA) to support the dynamic secure access needs of digital enterprises.”
Gartner, The Future of Network Security Is in the Cloud, 2019
SASE: The architecture for a cloud and mobile
The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ is a cloud native SASE platform built for performance and scalability. As a globally distributed platform, it ensures users are always a short hop from their applications. Through peering with hundreds of partners in major internet exchanges worldwide, it offers optimal routing, performance, and reliability for your users.
What can Zscaler SASE do for you?
Reduce IT costs and complexity
Our platform is easy to deploy and manage as an automated, cloud-delivered SASE service. Infinitely scalable and resident in the internet fabric itself, it enables secure digital transformation without the technical debt of legacy architectures or VPNs.
Deliver a great user experience
The Zero Trust Exchange brings security policy enforcement as close as possible to users across 150+ points of presence worldwide, eliminating unnecessary backhauling while providing optimal bandwidth and low latency.
Reduce risk
Security is built into the core of the platform. From secure web gateway (SWG) to cloud access security broker (CASB) and zero trust network access (ZTNA), all connections are inspected regardless of user, endpoint, app, or encryption.
What makes Zscaler SASE solution unique?
Our native multitenant cloud architecture scales dynamically with demand
Proxy-based architecture offers full inspection of encrypted traffic across SWG, CASB and a suite of security services at scale
Security and policy brought close to users eliminates unnecessary backhauling while augmenting existing SD-WAN solutions
ZTNA restricts access to provide native app segmentation, not network segmentation
Zero attack surface means no targeted attacks because your source networks and identities aren't exposed to the internet
