To benefit from cloud apps, break free from network security appliances and go direct
Securely embracing the cloud and delivering a fast user experience requires local internet breakouts. But, securing internet traffic with traditional UTM and NGFW appliances requires deploying stacks of security appliances in all locations, which is cost prohibitive and extremely difficult to manage.
UTM/NGFW appliance sprawl
- Cost prohibitive to deploy
- Creates appliance sprawl
- Untenable to manage
- Compromises branch security
- Performance degrades with SSL inspection and cloud apps with long-lived connections

Explore how Zscaler Cloud Firewall capabilities surpass those of NGFWs or virtualized appliances.
