Secure Workload Ingress and Egress Traffic in the Cloud
Transform your architecture from cloud firewalls to zero trust
Stay ahead of evolving threats by proactively and automatically preventing cyberattacks. To effectively secure ingress and egress workload traffic, a zero trust service helps you:
Inspect 100% of egress traffic
Deliver inline advanced threat and data security
Support on-premises, private, and public clouds
The Problem
Legacy approaches degrade your security and increase operational overhead, leading to:
- Inefficient architectures that can't inspect traffic at cloud scale
- Inconsistent threat and data protection for the multi-cloud
- Added complexity when securing a multi-cloud environment

FAQ
Enterprise applications hosted in public clouds often need to interact with third-party services over the internet—whether it’s downloading patches from GitHub, making API calls to SaaS providers, or sending usage analytics to platforms like Google Analytics. These interactions can expose applications to cyberthreats. Securing both ingress and egress traffic ensures that inbound and outbound communications are protected, safeguarding workloads against external risks and potential data loss.
Traditional architectures that rely on firewalls and VPNs cannot deliver a true zero trust security model because these solutions multiply the attack surface and allow lateral movement of threats. They also lack the advanced capabilities of cloud-scale TLS inspection, making it difficult to prevent sophisticated cyberattacks and data loss.
A zero trust model never assumes any application to be trustworthy by default. Zscaler Zero Trust Cloud provides cloud scale TLS inspection for workload traffic, enforcing advanced threat protection inline. This proactive approach prevents malicious attacks, blocks phishing, stops data leaks, and ensures compliance. By eliminating implicit trust and applying least privilege principles, organizations can simplify operations while boosting security across multi-cloud environments.
