Zscaler Zero Trust for Branch and Cloud

What is Zscaler Zero Trust for Branch and Cloud?

Zscaler Zero Trust for Branch and Cloud is a single zero trust solution for every user, workload, and device in the branch and cloud.

Zscaler describes the solution as an agile, secure, cost-effective way to connect users, devices, and workloads within and between the branch, cloud, and data center. The solution stops the lateral movement of malware through segmentation, and delivers a "cafe-like" branch experience and enables access without extending the enterprise network to every branch.

The solution is designed to eliminate N/S and E/W firewalls, NAC switches, traditional SD-WAN, ExpressRoute, and Direct Connect.

The product works by:

Branches, campuses, and factories connecting to the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ platform.
The platform uses the organization’s policies to connect users, devices, and workloads.
All users, devices, and workloads are segmented, preventing unauthorized lateral movement.

This segment between and within branches stops lateral movement, and can also secure legacy OT systems. It secures workloads across hybrid clouds with consistent threat protection, data protection, and segmentation. And it enables secure access to cross-organization resources without the need to address underlying network complexity.
