Overall Satisfaction with Zscaler Data Security

We utilize this for DLP and to manage our data security posture. It provides a unified, single-pane DLP experience across our organization, making DLP policy management convenient. The tool is potent and offers many features. The future direction is also auspicious, as Zscaler moves away from legacy regex-based detection to leveraging large language models (LLMs) for more accurate, context-based detections.

Pros

  • DLP visibility, management, and response.
  • Visibility and Management of internal sensitive and/or dark data.
  • Automation workflow.

Cons

  • The DLP dictionary functions need to be expanded upon, such as matching all regex patterns with any phrases and vice versa. The only way to do this today is to create two dictionaries and then use an engine to combine them; however, this approach loses the ability to utilize proximity.
  • Regex does not support lookaheads.
  • It's a comprehensive data posture management solution.
A great product that offers high visibility, is feature-rich, and is continually being developed.
Zscaler's feature, roadmap, and LLM incorporation to bring about contextual intelligence for detections are why we selected Zscaler over Varonis.

For a large company with lots of data it is a fantastic solution and much needed. This is probably not suited for very small organizations as it might be overkill. Organizations with lots of sensitive data such as PII, federal agencies or health care will greatly benefit from this product.
