ABSTRACT
Zero Trust (Cloud) architectures have now evolved from a touted “nice to have add-on” to an imperative for both CIOs and CISOs looking to improve both operational resilience and security controls. As a unified policy enforcement, the Zero Trust policy intercepts the request, and explicitly verifies signals from all seven foundational elements based on policy configuration and enforces least privileged access. Signals include the role of the user, location, device compliance, data sensitivity, application sensitivity, and much more. The telemetry and analytics feeds into the Threat Protection system. Large amounts of telemetry and analytics enriched by threat intelligence generate high-quality risk assessments that can either be manually investigated or automated. Zscaler internet access provides security that enables direct internet access. Security’s origins began in the network. Over time, numerous tools jockeyed for position in data centers and competed for attention from administrators.
