Zscaler Review from Retail Perspective
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
At my company we use both ZIA(kind of like a proxy out to the public internet) and ZPA (enterprise VPN). ZPA is faster than the VPN we used to use. ZIA is good because it allows to set up policies to blacklist certain URLs. ZPA is cloud based and uses the zero-trust model so user data cannot be seen internally.
Pros
- Zero Trust
- Honeypots/nets etc.
- Fast GUI
Cons
- Cannot use internal DNS
- Much tuning needed
- Access typically limited to internal apps
Likelihood to Recommend
Zscaler Deception Technology is well suited for companies that want to provide private access to their internal apps without using a VPN. Zscaler integrates zero trust into their honey tools that is good for detecting lateral movement. With Zscaler you allow only your employees to be able to access internal apps so detecting a bad actor is much easier.
