Zscaler is purpose-built for the needs of today’s businesses, which rely heavily on cloud-based applications and mobile networks. Backed by the world’s largest security cloud, the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ platform present locally in the UAE is built on a native, multitenant, cloud architecture that can grow dynamically with demand, to deliver unprecedented scalability and performance. Featuring a proxy-based architecture for full inspection of encrypted traffic at scale, it brings security and policies close to the user to eliminate unnecessary backhaul. Considering Zscaler is delivered as a service from the cloud, there is no hardware to buy or manage, and it is always up to date.
Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange
Zscaler’s cybersecurity platform is based on the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, a zero trust architecture built for accelerating secure digital transformation. The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange is a modern approach that enables fast and secure connections which allow users to work from anywhere using the internet as the corporate network. Based on the zero trust principle of least-privileged access, it provides comprehensive security using context-based identity and policy enforcement.
By ensuring that the service is always close to the users and co-located with the cloud providers and applications they are accessing, such as Microsoft 365 and AWS, it guarantees the shortest path between users and their destinations, providing comprehensive security and an unmatched user experience.
