CASE STUDY most with the CGCs own strategy . We sought a solution that provided a comprehensive cloud first security model that complied with Commonwealth government ISM requirements , had been IRAP assessed and a far more cost-effective solution .
How much confidence do you have in the solution ’ s level of security ?
Zscaler has been in constant communication with the CGC , particularly when global incidents have raised the threat level for potential compromise to our network . This , combined with their Microsoft partnership and recently achieved Protected IRAP status , has given us a significant degree of confidence in their capability .
A number of high-profile Commonwealth entities have also since adopted Zscaler , with their security assessments providing us the assurance we made the right choice .
What are the main benefits the solution has brought to the CGC ’ s staff ?
As a cloud-native service itself , Zscaler has allowed us to easily implement a virtual firewall that is capable of consistently supporting our user base anywhere , anytime . Simplified management , with detailed supporting analytics , provides the visibility and transparency of activity on , and threats to , the network that were simply not available to us before .
Staff now have a solution that truly enables flexible working arrangements , in a secure manner that does not impose any restrictions on how they work .
Can you explain how ZScaler will be a valuable component of the CGC ’ s IT infrastructure for years to come ?
The innovation we see coming from Zscaler and their deep integration with Microsoft services has enabled the CGC to simplify its ICT topology and significantly improve our cybersecurity posture . The cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving and the need to stay ahead of the curve is a pressure that small organizations need help with .
With less moving parts , comprehensive end-to-end coverage and extensive partner network , we are far more comfortable that as we look to replace our fleet of end-user devices and relocation to new office space , our ICT capability has leveraged some of the best technology available in the marketplace . p
