What is Zscaler Zero Trust Cloud?

Zscaler Workload Communications (replacing the former Zscaler Cloud Protection) delivers an approach that aims to take the operational complexity and headaches out of cloud workload security. The Zscaler zero trust architecture reduces business risk by automatically remediating security gaps, minimizing the attack surface, and eliminating lateral threat movement.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zscaler Zero Trust Cloud primarily to secure access for employees working across corporate networks and cloud environments. It actually works as a cloud-based security layer; it enforces access policies based on the user identity and applied factors. We use it to securely access the private applications and controlling the saas traffic. Zscaler is a trustworthy software which make the secure access convenient as well as seamless. A great use experience can be expected, I would rate it better than citrix workspace. The connection is faster and reliable.

Pros

Secure Remote Access
Data Protection
Saas Protection
Centralized policy

Cons

Sometimes, it asks to re-log in through the creds to verify a secure connection, which can be frustrating
I would like to have a user id and password connection rather than authenticating every time with MFA

Return on Investment

Reduced security risk
reduced operation overhead
faster secure access

Usability

Alternatives Considered

Citrix Workspace (discontinued)
