Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) Administrator Introduction
ZIA is a cloud-native security service edge (SSE) solution. Offered as a scalable
software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform from the world’s largest security cloud, it
replaces legacy network security solutions to stop advanced attacks and prevent
data loss with a comprehensive zero trust approach.
What does ZIA do?
ZIA provides a full security stack to protect your end users and road warriors
from internet-based threats.
Below points to understand how ZIA offers internet and web security.:-
• In the past, the focus of businesses was on their network where the
applications lived. They used the hub-and-spoke architecture to connect
their users with their applications. With data center as the center of
gravity, all their traffic flowed there.
• As internet traffic increased, organizations created an outbound gateway
to protect their network and as threat complexity increased, they invested
in more appliances to work safe. However, all these appliances are costly
and backhauling traffic makes the user experience terrible.
• Zscaler replaces appliances with a cloud platform to transform your
organization’s approach to security.
• ZIA, built as a complete security stack-as-a service, provides full inline
content inspection (including hard to inspect SSL traffic).
• With ZIA, users get a fast, secure experience regardless of location and
identical protection no matter where they connect from. ZIA blocks threats
in seconds, making it safer than appliances.
• Zscaler removes the cost, complexity, and performance concerns that
organization get with appliances, and transforms the way organization
protect their users.
