Introduction to Zscaler Private Access
Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) offers a comprehensive and unified solution for secure access to private applications, workloads, and OT. By adopting zero trust network access (ZTNA), ZPA enables fast, secure, and reliable connectivity for all users, regardless of the device or location.
Challenges Addressed by Zscaler Private Access
Traditional network security solutions, like VPNs, are no longer sufficient in protecting hybrid workforces and modern businesses. VPNs expose organizations to the public internet, creating a significant attack surface and allowing for lateral movement. By contrast, ZPA eliminates the need for direct network access, reducing cyber risks and administrative overhead.
Key Benefits of Zscaler Private Access
Zscaler Private Access offers a range of benefits, including a secure and superior user experience, the replacement of vulnerable VPN solutions, prevention of private app compromise, empowerment of hybrid workforces through seamless access, and a reduction in cost and complexity by providing a unified ZTNA platform.
Product Details and Capabilities
ZPA leverages AI-powered app segmentation, enables workload-to-workload segmentation, supports privileged remote access, offers browser access capabilities, brings ZTNA to on-premises users through the Private Service Edge, ensures business continuity during connectivity outages, and enables zero trust access to partner applications.
Use Cases and Deployment Scenarios
Organizations can deploy ZTNA as a VPN alternative, enable ZTNA for hybrid work environments, secure BYOD and third-party access, replace legacy VDI solutions, connect securely to OT systems, simplify microsegmentation, and securely access partner network applications.
