Workload Communications
Zscaler Workload Communications secures workload-to-internet, multicloud, and multi-region traffic for your mission-critical cloud workloads with the power of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™.
Legacy architectures are inadequate
Your business runs on these workloads, so preventing lateral movement, cyberattacks and data loss is an imperative.


- Multiple third-party tools (firewall, VPN, TLS/SSL inspection, DLP, etc.) for extra layers of protection
- Backhauling traffic over legacy infrastructure for inspection and protection
- Native security solutions from public cloud providers

- Amplifying lateral movement
- Increasing operational complexity and cost
- Providing inconsistent threat and data protection
Secure your cloud workloads with modern zero trust architecture
Radically simplify cloud workload security with the Zero Trust Exchange, the world's largest inline cloud security platform.



Workload Communications

Workload-to-internet communications
Cloud workloads can access any internet or SaaS destination (e.g., third-party APIs, software updates) with a scalable, reliable security solution that inspects all transactions.

Workload-to-workload communications
Workloads in one public cloud can securely communicate with any public or private cloud as well as across VPCs, zones, and regions in the same cloud—no need for VPNs or risky, complex bespoke cloud routing.
