Endpoint-to-Cloud Context
Endpoint Context combines identity, endpoint, network, and cloud signals for comprehensive visibility and adaptive risk-based policy enforcement to stop trojanized installers, malicious apps, and “living off the land” (LOTL) attacks—even inside encrypted traffic—with real-time endpoint-to-cloud correlation. Built into the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, our solution eliminates SecOps and NetOps blind spots, and accelerates detection and dynamic threat mitigation at scale.
Unified endpoint-to-cloud threat defense built on a zero trust foundation
Zscaler closes critical visibility and detection gaps with unified endpoint and cloud telemetry, inline inspection of encrypted traffic, and dynamic risk-based control—all within the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange. By delivering comprehensive visibility and deep context, Zscaler empowers security and network teams to eliminate blind spots, detect and mitigate attacks faster, and enforce Zero Trust without disrupting operations or user experience.

Real-world scenarios powered by endpoint visibility

Catch “Living Off the Land” techniques, unauthorized tools, and tampered installers early using real-time process telemetry and binary validation.

Expose shadow IT and known-vulnerable apps by combining app classification with CVE intelligence for better risk control.

Scan files from USB, Airdrop, or Bluetooth using AI Instant Verdict and Cloud Sandbox to block threats before they run.

Apply real-time policies that automatically block, isolate, or allow apps and processes based on behavioral risk.

Use endpoint insights to drive Firewall, DNS, and SSL/TLS decryption decisions—enabling smarter, zero trust-aligned controls.

Frequently Asked Questions
User identity and network signals alone don’t always capture device trust and risk. Endpoint Context helps answer questions like:
- “Is this the user’s managed device?”
- “Is the device healthy/compliant?”
- “Is this a sanctioned app running on an endpoint?”
- “Is this access request coming from a risky endpoint state?”
The data that answers all these questions can be used as policy criteria that results in more adaptive and precise security controls.
Common signals include:
- Device identity
- OS/platform
- Management state (managed vs unmanaged)
- Posture/compliance results
- Security controls status
- Agent presence/health
- Application status (sanctioned/unsanctioned/unpatched/unsigned)
- Other endpoint attributes required for policy evaluation
Endpoint Context is optimized to minimize user impact. Any perceived delay typically comes from posture checks or signal freshness requirements. Policies should be tuned to balance security with usability. Learn more about Endpoint Context in our documentation portal.
