Zscaler + HashiCorp
Accelerating digital transformation by securing cloud native applications
Optimize the DevOps experience with security and automation
Zscaler and HashiCorp have partnered together to deliver a secure, consistent DevOps workflow on any cloud native environment. By leveraging a repeatable, reliable workflow delivered through this partnership, you can increase efficiency, enable rapid application configuration and development, and foster seamless collaboration between security and development teams.
Challenges
Everything is accelerating
Security is an afterthought
Rapid application development is often aligned with business goals, and as a result, liberties are taken with regard to security.
Infrastructure complexity
Ad-hoc changes to manage multicloud infrastructure often introduce misconfigurations, which lead to security vulnerabilities.
Widening skill gaps
Varied experience and skill levels of DevSecOps professionals can lead to the use of multiple tools and processes that can weaken an infrastructure’s security posture.
ZSCALER AND HASHICORP
Securely configure and automate cloud native application development
Zscaler Posture Control improves cloud security posture by identifying misconfigurations and recommending corrective measures for the HashiCorp Terraform templates. Zscaler Terraform providers ensure rapid and uniform methods to interact with Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Zscaler Private Access (ZPA), while the Consul-Terraform-Sync modules enforce zero trust change management of ZIA and ZPA.
Securing the CI/CD pipeline for an enriched DevOps experience
Prevent misconfigurations, code leaks, environmental drift, and other cloud security issues in the Terraform Cloud with Posture Control, our integrated platform.
Gain crucial visibility and insights
All teams get uniform visibility of each commit and pull request being scanned for changes that may lead to issues related to hardcoded secrets, access changes that may cause misconfigurations, storage that’s shared widely beyond the scope of the content, and more.
Respond quickly and seamlessly
Near-to-real-time alerts and guided response are critical for expedited and informed remediation.
Achieving zero trust with seamless orchestration
Leveraging Consul-Terraform-Sync integration with ZIA and ZPA, network and security teams can initiate infrastructure changes with precise security guardrails.
Manage server and application segments
With ZPA, you can automate application segment and server creation based on access requirements from the Consul services catalog.
Orchestrate firewall management
Dynamically automate IP source group changes in the ZIA Cloud Firewall with the CTS module for ZIA to ensure strict adherence to security and compliance policies.
Consistent infrastructure management
Create and maintain deployment and configuration of your Zscaler product portfolio with easy-to-use Terraform providers.
Managing ZIA
The Zscaler Internet Access provider interacts with the ZIA API to automate provisioning of new locations, IPSec and GRE tunnels, URL filtering policies, Cloud Firewall policies, DLP Dictionaries, local accounts, etc.
Managing ZPA
The Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) provider is used to interact with the ZPA platform to onboard new application segments, segment groups, and server groups, and create zero trust access policies.
