Zscaler Unveils Pioneering Zero Trust SASE Powered by Zero Trust AI

Zscaler, a leader in cloud security, has introduced the industry’s first Zero Trust SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), utilizing Zero Trust AI. This single-vendor SASE solution aims to reduce costs and complexity for organizations while implementing Zero Trust security across users, devices, and workloads. Zscaler has also made its Zero Trust SD-WAN solution and plug-and-play appliances generally available, providing secure connectivity for branch offices and eliminating the need for traditional firewalls and VPNs.

Built on a Zero Trust architecture, these solutions use business policies to determine user and device access, reducing security risks and network complexity associated with legacy network and firewall architectures. Zero Trust SD-WAN ensures secure inbound and outbound connectivity, extending zero trust beyond users to protect device and server traffic at various locations. Zscaler incorporates its adaptive AI engine to continuously assess risk for users, devices, destinations, and content.

Zscaler aims to deliver a comprehensive Zero Trust SASE by combining its AI-powered SSE platform with the new Zero Trust SD-WAN solution. This approach simplifies connectivity and security for a hybrid workforce, with no overlay routing complexity, additional firewalls, or separate policies for sites and users.

Organizations adopting Zscaler’s Zero Trust SASE can connect users and devices to applications through a proxy, benefiting from integrated AI-powered cyberthreat and data protection capabilities. This eliminates the need for multiple point products, reduces costs and complexity, and provides centralized visibility and management for IT teams. Zscaler’s Zero Trust SD-WAN solution features plug-and-play appliances for zero-touch provisioning, integrated SSE capabilities, and a cloud-based management console for centralized policy management.
