Zscaler Private Access

The Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) service enables organizations to provide access to internal applications and services while ensuring the security of their networks. ZPA is an easier to deploy, more cost-effective, and more secure alternative to VPNs. Unlike VPNs, which require users to connect to your network to access your enterprise applications, ZPA allows you to give users policy-based secure access only to the internal apps they need to get their work done. With ZPA, application access does not require network access. Additionally, ZPA decouples applications from the physical network so you can provide seamless connectivity to private internal applications and assets whether they are in the cloud, the data center, or both. It also adjusts dynamically to network changes, so you can move your resources without impacting user access.

Benefits:

  • Seamless User Experience: Policy-driven connectivity that dynamically adjusts to network changes.
  • Enhanced Security: Application-specific connectivity without ever bringing users on-net.
  • Ease and Instant Deployment and Discovery: Can automatically discover Hardware so Hardware upgrades are not required.
  • Real-Time Visibility: Dashboards provide unparalleled visibility into your users and applications, and the health of your organization's applications and servers
