Realize the full benefits of SD-WAN
Zscaler provides everything you need to deliver SD-WAN security
Are you deploying cloud applications and services like Microsoft 365?
If so, the traditional approaches to routing and securing internet traffic are no longer relevant. Delivering a fast user experience and properly supporting cloud apps, requires direct-to-internet connections.
Hub-and-spoke architectures challenges:
- Backhauling over MPLS is expensive
- Introduces latency
- Negatively impacts user experience
UTM/NGFW appliance sprawl
Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) makes it easy to establish local internet breakouts. But, the traditional approach to secure branch locations with UTM or NGFW appliances or their VNFs creates challenges:
UTM/Firewall Appliance Sprawl
- Dramatically raises deployment costs
- Creates unmanageable appliance sprawl
- Compromises branch security
- SSL inspection significantly impacts performance
- Inflexible to changing capacity needs
SD-WAN reduces complexity and optimizes branch traffic routing
SD-WAN uses software-defined policies to select the best path to route traffic to the internet, cloud applications, and the data center.
But, these local breakouts need to be secured without complicating your network.
Makes it easy to establish local internet breakouts
Simplifies how traffic is routed in the branch
Enables rapid deployment of new applications and services
Empowers organizations to manage policies across a large number of locations
Reduce Cost and Complexity
Zscaler secures direct-to-internet connections and delivers a fast user experience — without backhauling and without the cost and complexity of duplicating the appliance security stack at each location. With Zscaler and SD-WAN you can reduce MPLS costs and provide a fast and secure user experience.
Cloud-based to simplify branch operations and improve control
Zscaler enables you to define and immediately enforce security and access policy changes across all locations from a single console. Activate security services across all locations in minutes, with just a few clicks. And with Zscaler, prioritize your critical business applications, like Office 365, over YouTube and streaming media.
