Secure East-West Traffic Using Zero Trust Cloud

Arash Shahed introduces a new capability in Zero Trust cloud, focusing on micro segmentation to enhance security for east-west traffic. Zscaler's solution enforces security between VPCs and intra VPC, minimizing exposure to threats and preventing attacker movement. By using metadata for precise resource identification, Zscaler reduces the attack surface while maintaining efficiency, enabling enterprises to thrive in a cloud-first world. The presentation includes an example of a centralized VPC network and explains the packet flow process, detailing how traffic is inspected by the Zero Trust Gateway based on policy.
