Zscaler announces innovations for Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform
Security innovations , resources for CxOs and IT practitioners and zero trust deployment programs overcome security barriers to accelerate Digital Transformation .
Zscaler , a leader in cloud security , has announced innovations for the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform and new programs designed to secure digital businesses .
New security solutions , resources for IT execs and practitioners and deployment guides to expedite zero trust adoption are redefining the rules of IT security for the modern Internet-driven , cloud-first businesses . The combination of these offerings provides digital businesses with a holistic approach to securing modern organizations and the pragmatic skills and blueprints needed to be competitive .
Digital Transformation has fundamentally changed the way modern businesses innovate and operate . This seismic shift has been accelerated by enterprises ’ move to cloud-based SaaS models and the Internet becoming the new corporate network – shattering 30 years of IT networking and security principles .
While direct-to-Internet connectivity for access to cloud applications and workloads has democratized information flow and improved business agility , it has also destroyed the castle-and-moat security architecture exposing businesses to new threat vectors resulting in more large-scale security breaches .
Zero trust starts with validating user identity combined with business policy enforcement based on contextual data from user , device , app and content to deliver authorized direct access to applications and resources .
“ The accelerated adoption of Digital Transformation compounded with more employees working from anywhere has opened the floodgates to targeted cyberattacks . Security teams face challenges everyday posed by managed and unmanaged endpoints and identities , streams of unfiltered data and the complexity of managing user access to critical business applications ,” said Amol Kulkarni , Chief Product Officer at CrowdStrike .
“ CrowdStrike ’ s Zero Trust Assessment provides continuous , real-time security device posture assessments and Zscaler ’ s frictionless integration with ZTA provides an identity and data-centric approach for dynamic conditional access to applications . The integration delivers customers a holistic zero trust solution that encompasses data , people , devices , workloads and networks .”
Sendur Sellakumar , CPO and SVP of Cloud , Splunk , said : “ As enterprises continue to adopt a cloud-first strategy , a cloud-native zero trust security model has become a necessity ,” said Sendur Sellakumar , CPO and SVP of Cloud , Splunk . “ Splunk and Zscaler have jointly developed design guides and robust product integrations to help IT security teams prevent and detect attacks , dynamically control policy and risk and accelerate threat response in alignment with zero trust best practices .” p
