Zscaler Workload Communications secures workload-to-internet and workload-to-workload connectivity across hybrid cloud environments for your mission-critical workloads and servers with the power of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™.

Why It Matters

Legacy architectures are inadequate

The emergence of digital transformation is driving workload deployments across a wide array of infrastructure options, encompassing on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud environments.
Your business runs on these workloads, so preventing cyberattacks, lateral movement of threats, and data loss is an imperative.

Many enterprises rely on legacy security architectures to secure their workloads. Usually, they will:

Implement multiple third-party tools (firewall, TLS/SSL inspection, DLP, etc.) for layers of protection
Backhaul traffic from public cloud to on-premises datacenter for inspection and protection
Configure native security solutions from public cloud providers

However, these legacy architectures increase operational overhead and degrade performance while also:

Providing inconsistent threat and data protection
Amplifying lateral movement and attack surface
Increasing operational complexity and cost

Benefits

How It Works

Workload Communications

Gain comprehensive zero trust security for your workloads and servers. The Zscaler platform inspects all traffic inline to protect against cyberthreats and data loss, establishes the identity and context of the access request, and applies all appropriate policies before establishing connectivity to the internet, SaaS apps, or private workloads and servers.

Workload-to-internet communications

Workloads and servers can access any internet or SaaS destination with a scalable, reliable security solution that inspects all transactions.

Workload-to-workload communications

Workloads and servers can securely communicate with other workloads and servers hosted in other cloud regions, public clouds or on-premises data centers—no need for complex bespoke cloud routing.
