Modern architecture for a cloud and
mobile-first world
Zscaler Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
Status quo is inhibiting digital business
For the last 30 years, networks have been connecting users to applications in the data center, which was surrounded by a secure perimeter to keep apps and data safe from the outside. But with applications moving to the cloud, IoT becoming more common, and users connecting from everywhere, network security is no longer able to solve the fundamental challenge of security and is instead adding significant complexity and cost.
The new reality
More applications live outside the data center
Sensitive data is located in several cloud services
Users are connecting from everywhere
SASE: The architecture for a cloud and mobile world
The secure access service edge (SASE) is a new security model defined by Gartner specifically to address the security challenges of the new reality organizations are facing.
“The secure access service edge is an emerging offering combining comprehensive WAN capabilities with comprehensive network security functions (such as SWG, CASB, FWaaS, and ZTNA) to support the dynamic secure access needs of digital enterprises.” - Gartner
The Zscaler Cloud Security Platform is a SASE service built from the ground up for performance and scalability. As a globally distributed platform, users are always a short hop to their applications, and through peering with hundreds of partners in major internet exchanges around the world it ensures optimal performance and reliability for your users.
What can Zscaler SASE do for you?
Reduce IT cost and complexity
Easy to deploy and manage as an automated, cloud-delivered service. Infinitely scalable and resident in the internet fabric itself, enabling digital transformation without the technical debt of the architectures of the past.
Deliver a great user experience
Brings security and policy close to the user across 150+ locations to eliminate unnecessary backhaul and provide optimal bandwidth and low latency.
Reduce risk
Security is built into the fabric of the platform, ensuring all connections are inspected and secured, no matter what user they are coming from, app being accessed, or encryption that may be used.
What makes our SASE unique?
A native, multitenant, cloud architecture that
scales dynamically with demand
Proxy-based architecture for full inspection of encrypted traffic at scale
Brings security and policy close to the user to eliminate unnecessary backhaul
Zero trust network access (ZTNA) that restricts access to provide native application segmentation
Zero attack surface that doesn't expose your source networks and identities to the internet, preventing targeted attacks
