Modernize Privileged Access with Zero Trust
Enable secure, clientless, least-privileged access to enterprise IT and OT systems while replacing VPNs, improving operational efficiencies, and reducing cyber risk.
Redefine privileged access for employees, contractors, and third parties
Secure access to IT and OT for all internal and external users. Easily enforce granular zero trust policies, simplify credential management, and adhere to compliance standards.
Eliminate legacy VPNs, agents, and VDI farms
Drastically reduce cyber risk with zero trust
Improve uptime and plant safety
The Problem
Legacy PAM exposes you to ransomware, governance gaps, and third-party risk
VPNs and traditional PAM solutions grant broad network access, often connecting untrusted administrator and third-party devices to critical IT/OT systems. This “all or nothing” model undermines least-privileged access and creates opportunities for ransomware attacks, credential abuse, and lateral movement.
To reduce third-party risk and improve productivity, your organization needs a solution that provides precise, task-based access without implicit trust.

FAQ
Zscaler Privileged Remote Access reduces risk by making applications invisible to unauthorized users. It enforces a zero trust, least-privileged access model and eliminates the need for inbound connections to data centers or operational technology (OT) environments. This solution secures privileged sessions through isolated browser connections that include monitoring, recording, and controlled access. These features ensure oversight, accountability, and protection against data leakage and malware. Learn more.
CISOs can simplify and automate privileged access governance for their organization with Zscaler PRA by implementing just-in-time access, centralized credential vaulting, and user-initiated approval workflows. These approaches enforce the principle of least privilege, automatically rotate or inject credentials, and capture session activity for audit and compliance purposes. This reduces manual administration, minimizes risks, and ensures consistent enforcement across IT, OT, and cloud environments.
IT security protects IT systems, data, and networks from unauthorized access and threats. OT security does the same for industrial and critical infrastructure systems, but they face many unique ones. IT-OT convergence—combining the strengths of IT and OT—can make organizations more efficient, agile, resilient, and secure. Learn more.
Yes, Zscaler Privileged Remote Access provides full visibility and auditability of all privileged activities across IT, OT, and cloud environments through session recording, monitoring, and centralized logging for compliance and security oversight.
