Scalable and Resilient Security Cloud for Mission-Critical Requirements

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange is the world’s largest security cloud that delivers comprehensive security for users, devices, workloads and applications. The platform is built on the principle of least-privileged access to establish trust based on user identity and context—including location, device, application, and content—and then creates secure, direct user-to-app, app-to-app, and machine-to-machine connections. Zscaler services 8,600+ customers and 47+ million users, processing over half a trillion daily transactions and health performance and security metrics. Building a cloud of this magnitude and capacity takes deep experience and investment across four key areas: Scale, Resilience, Performance, and Zero Trust Connectivity. 

• Scale: Enterprises need enough scale and capacity to dynamically and effortlessly handle large-scale events. Zscaler’s ability to effortlessly scale with the exponential rise in customer security transactions reinforces its strength to handle evolving and escalating enterprise demands. 
• Resilience: It is critical to maintain the highest availability and interconnections between users and devices to critical cloud-based applications. Zscaler’s architecture helps ensure business continuity by helping customers prepare for and quickly recover from black swan events that could otherwise disrupt or stop business operations by automatically finding the optimal path from users and devices to application.
• Zero Trust Connectivity: Zscaler’s proxy-based cloud native Zero Trust platform securely connects users, applications, and devices—using business policies—over any network, in any location. By only granting access to the resources they need to perform their tasks, customers greatly reduce the risk of data breaches while simplifying operations for security and IT teams.
• Performance: An exceptional customer user experience—the ultimate measure of performance—is achieved by Zscaler’s platform scalability with over 160 hosted Zero Trust Exchange edges close to population centers around the world. This ensures that modern digital-first enterprises can operate effectively, around the globe, without trading off speed for unmatched security.
