Zscaler private access (ZPA)
Transforming Secure Cloud Connectivity

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) addresses the shortcomings of legacy networking and security approaches, which lack the power and stability needed to support the modern, distributed workforce. The process of connecting users to private apps has subsequently shifted to the Cloud, with access gained over the public internet, on any device, from any location.

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is at the forefront of this pivot to the Cloud via its next-gen zero-trust network access (ZTNA) platform.

Embrace Cloud Connectivity

How does Zscaler private access work?

As the world’s top-rated in ZTNA platform, ZPA applies the principles of least privilege to provide users with secure, direct connectivity to private applications running on-premise or in the public Cloud,
while eradicating unauthorised access and lateral movement.

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is a Cloud-native service built on a holistic security service edge (SSE) framework. Therefore, it can be deployed rapidly to replace legacy VPNs and remote access tools – allowing it to deliver a range of compelling benefits:

Reduced attack surface
First-class user experience
Eliminate lateral movement
Reduce operational complexity
Enforce least-privileged access
Boost hybrid workforce productivity
Mitigate the risk of attacks and data breaches
Extend zero-trust across apps, workloads, and IoT

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) Capabilities

User-to-app segmentation

Connect users directly to remote apps through a private micro-tunnel created between the app and user, providing a zero-trust connection, without ever placing the user on the network to eliminate lateral movement.

Risk-based policy engine

Continuously validate access policies based on user, device, content, and application risk posture with a powerful native policy engine to ensure only valid, authenticated users can access private applications.

App discovery

Automatically discover and catalog applications and get a granular insight into your private application estate, as well as your potential attack surface.

User-to-device segmentation

Connect remote employees to IoT/OT devices, with maintenance and troubleshooting using least-privileged access, enabled through Zscaler private access strategies

App protection

Stop compromised users and insider threats with automatic protection against the most prevalent Layer 7 web attacks with complete coverage of the OWASP Top 10 attack techniques and full custom signatures support to virtually patch zero-day vulnerabilities. Inline inspection of all private app traffic provides real-time visibility into suspicious user and application behaviour.

Main Benefits of Zscaler Private Access (ZPA)

Deliver an exceptional user experience

Remote users benefit from a faster, more secure access experience via consistently fast connectivity that doesn’t require a VPN client login.
Third-party contractors, vendors, and partners benefit from frictionless access via any device and web browser.
Users enrol with their existing SSO login credentials.
Admins can proactively detect and resolve end-user performance issues caused by
private app access difficulties, network path outages, or network congestion.

Minimise the attack surface

ZPA has the power to remove vulnerable VPNs and make apps invisible to the remote client, preventing unauthorised users from finding and attacking them.
Removes inbound connectivity and only permits inside-out connections via double encrypted micro tunnels, establishing a secure segment between an authorised user and a specific private app.
Reduces the attack surface by enabling teams to automatically discover and segment malicious applications, services, and workloads via application discovery.

Eliminate lateral movement

Least-privileged connectivity ensures application access is granted on a one-to-one basis by an authorised user, eliminating lateral movement between apps or across the network.
Apps accessed via ZPA are protected by a security gateway making the company’s internal network invisible to the ZPA user while granting them access to the required applications.

Prevent compromised users, insider threats, & advanced attackers

Minimises third-party and bring your own device (BYOD) risks by providing fully isolated access to applications.
Deploys decoy apps and enables security teams to restrict active in-network threats by preventing compromised users from accessing resources.

A unified platform for secure access across apps, workloads, and devices

Extend zero trust across private apps, workloads, and OT/IoT devices. This simplifies and integrates multiple disjointed remote access tools and conflates security and access policies to prevent breaches and reduce operational complexity.
