See how Zero Trust SD-WAN reduces security risk and simplifies your branch network.

Traditional SD-WAN enables lateral threat movement. Choose Zero Trust SD-WAN.

 

Zscaler Zero Trust SD-WAN connects sites by brokering ephemeral, least-privileged connections between users, devices, and apps.

 

  • Secure: Prevent the spread of ransomware by eliminating lateral threat movement.
  • Simple: Eliminate the need to install and maintain VPNs/firewalls at every location.
  • Integrated: Enforce security policy consistently across all users, locations, and applications.

The Problem

Traditional SD-WAN implicitly trusts all traffic, including attackers

With a mesh of site-to-site VPNs, traditional SD-WAN creates a flat routed network with implicit trust—enabling lateral threat movement.

  • A compromise at a branch can move rapidly through your entire network, resulting in a breach.
  • Network-based security policies add complexity and management overhead, yet fail to stop ransomware and other cyberattacks.
  • Multiple policies and tools across users, devices, and apps create security gaps and increase administrative burden.
