What is Zscaler?
Zscaler was founded in 2007 and delivers its security services from a cloud platform called the Zero Trust Exchange. Zscaler says the platform connects users, devices and applications in any location, and that it sits inline on every connection so each entity reaches only what it is authorized to reach.
Two services are central to the listing. Secure Internet Access (ZIA) protects users when they browse the internet or use SaaS apps. Secure Private Access (ZPA) connects users to private apps without a VPN. Zscaler also offers Zero Trust Branch for branches, campuses and factories, and Zero Trust Cloud for workload security.
Each service has its own traffic path and policy set, so buyers should map how remote users, branches and latency-sensitive applications will reach the platform. Documentation sits at help.zscaler.com, and a Trust Portal shows real-time service health, uptime status and planned maintenance. Pricing is quote-based, so scope the number of users and services before requesting a quote.
