Zscaler + Cisco
SD-WAN
Combining the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange with Cisco SD-WAN delivers a complete SAS solution that simplifies how traffic is routed from branch offices.
Performance and security impact on cloud migration
To support cloud transitions and deliver a fast user experience, network architects are redesigning their WAN architectures to route internet traffic locally and leverage inexpensive broadband services, often with software-defined WAN. However, connecting all branch locations directly to the internet introduces significant security risks that can quickly overtax limited IT resources.

Protect your users with policies that follow them wherever they go, ensuring identical security anywhere they connect. Define and enforce security and access policies across all locations from a single console, and deploy new security services with just a few clicks.
Simple and secure internet and application access: Zscaler + Cisco SD-WAN
![Cloud security for SD-WAN cloud-security-for-sd-wan](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.zscaler.com%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2FuseCaseCard%2Fcloud-security-for-sd-wan_3.jpg&w=1920&q=75)
SD-WAN transforms branch office networking, reducing MPLS costs and optimizing performance. However, reliable SD-WAN security is critical for broad adoption, especially for cloud and internet applications. With Zscaler and Cisco SD-WAN, you can secure all internet traffic without backhauling over MPLS to centralized data centers. Cisco SD-WAN and Zscaler are transforming SD-WAN together.

Cisco SD-WAN with Zscaler supports API integration for creating IPsec tunnels. Configure up to four active HA pairs to connect to a primary and secondary Zscaler point of presence. Automated Layer 7 health checks ensure 99.9% uptime and availability and will automatically select a new secondary backup if an outage occurs.
