admin At the moment, many organizations are acclimatizing cloud-based platforms allowing these organizations to quickly adapt to the global transition to a digital economy. The knack to adopt new applications, quickly expedite resources, respond in real-time to end-user and consumer demands allows organizations to compete effectively in today’s digital marketplace. The result has been flabbergasting. In a few years, approximately 80% of enterprises have adopted two or more public cloud infrastructure providers, and nearly two-thirds are using three or more.
And gone are the days when businesses were all on the network and applications resided in physical data centers, it made sense to establish a secure periphery around the network.
But now, the periphery is gone, and network security is all but irrelevant. Instead, its a necessitate putting defenses and controls on the internet so that every connection is fast and secure, no matter how or where users connect or where their applications reside.
“Change may be a constant, but the transformation is a mission and we are on a mission to make the internet your new secure corporate network.”- emphasized by Jay Chaudhry CEO, Chairman, and Founder of Zscaler, global security cloud for distributed and mobile enterprises enabling the world’s leading organizations to securely transform their networks and applications for a mobile and cloud-first world.
Jay Chaudhry has a history of introducing visionary innovations to market that address the demand for securely enabling emerging technology trends. His considerable work in the security technology sector has made him a trusted advisor for many enterprise CIOs and CISOs.
He has been leveraging more than 25 years of security industry expertise, including engineering, sales, marketing and management experience with leading organizations, such as IBM, NCR, and Unisys. Prior to founding Zscaler in 2008, he founded and led AirDefense (Motorola), CipherTrust (Secure Computing), CoreHarbor (USi/AT&T). Jay founded and led his first company, SecureIT, the first pure-play Internet security service, in 1996, before it was acquired by VeriSign in 1998.
Re-engineering Enterprise Cloud Security
[mks_col][mks_one_half]No matter where you are now in your journey, the transformation has begun, and it’s enabled by Zscaler.[/mks_one_half][mks_one_half]
Today, the internet is a security perimeter behind the corporate network and the only way to provide comprehensive protection for users, no matter where users connect, it can be done by moving security and access controls to the cloud.
[/mks_one_half][/mks_col]With tens of thousands of new phishing sites arriving every day, appliances can’t keep up but the Zscaler cloud is always up to date with the latest security updates to keep everything protected from rapidly evolving malware. Zscaler minimizes costs and eliminates the complexity of patching, updating, and maintaining hardware and software.
Zscaler security controls are built into a unified platform, so they communicate with each other to give a cohesive picture of all the traffic that’s moving across the network. Through a single interface, an organization can gain insight into every request — by the user, location, and device around the world — in seconds.
3 –Elemental Zscaler Platform
Designed for resiliency, redundancy, and fast performance, the three-tiered Zscaler platform modules comprise the control plane (Zscaler Central Authority), the data plane (Zscaler Enforcement Nodes), and the logging and statistics plane(Zscaler Nanolog Servers).
The Zscaler platform because of its position between every user and the internet, provides secure access to any destination—the open internet, apps and services in the cloud, and internal apps in the data center and public and private clouds.
Zscaler’s position also makes a critical integration point for a range of services. It complements and interoperates with key technology vendors across major market segments, including SD-WAN, identity, and access management, device and endpoint management, as well as SIEM for reporting and analytics.
The global security ‘ Zscaler Cloud Architecture’
Zscaler security as a service is delivered by a next-generation security architecture built from the ground up for performance and scalability. It is distributed across more than 100 data centers on 6 continents, which means that users are always a short hop to their applications and Zscaler peers with hundreds of partners in major internet exchanges around the world for performance and reliability.
Zscaler SSL Inspection
Zscaler’s security-as-a-service enables full SSL inspection to stop more threats where they hide. The Zscaler Cloud Security platform enables “man-in-the-middle” SSL inspection at scale, without latency and capacity limitations. By pairing SSL inspection with Zscaler’s complete security stack as a cloud service, gets improved protection without the inspection limitation of appliances.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The goal of GDPR is to strengthen and unify data protection by clearly defining the responsibilities of data controllers and data processors. Zscaler helps to successfully comply with GDPR requirements through a strong partnership between Zscaler (data processor) and an organization (data controller).
