What is your primary use case for Zscaler Internet Access?

In the past, I prepared a comparative stable between Zscaler and other concurrent or alternative solutions. I saw that Zscaler has a good mark in many criteria. We use Zscaler for centralized data loss prevention (DLP) for web, endpoint, and email. It also has the capacity for SD-WAN integration, threat installation, and is easy to deploy compared to other solutions.

We use the tool to manage all end-user traffic. It's mainly for web filtering on every device, not for backend server traffic.

Zscaler Internet Access is useful for role-based access control. In our company, we have different profiles for users, and based on the profiles, there are types of accesses that are allowed. For example, some are allowed to access social media, while some are not. It is based on their job titles, what their profiles are, and their job functions.

Zscaler Internet Access provides customers with the internet. We can easily integrate policies.

Primarily, it was to replace our existing on-premises box infrastructure. That's what it started with. And lately, we've been using it more for secure web gateway purposes.

Our customer already had the product, which they got from another vendor. They were facing some issues with their existing policies. Our role was to optimize the policy. So we optimized Threat Protection, DLP, and CASB policies per the customer’s requirements. In their environment, G Suite was completely allowed for some users, but they wanted only to allow a specific corporate domain. As per the recommendation, CASB policy must have been in place, but it wasn’t. So we optimized the tool as per their requirement and delivered it.

We use ZIA for outbound internet connectivity. The internet traffic of on-prem users will be directed to the ZIA cloud for security checks and web filtering.

The use cases of the solution are vast. CASB is a part of the product.

The main use cases that our clients typically have and why we propose and implement the solution is for a proxy solution. It's designed to create a proxy site-to-site tunnel between the computer trying to access any resources on the Internet or within the offices. Most organizations have a significant number of remote workers - around 30 to 40 percent of their workforce is remote - and they log in from different locations globally, such as Japan, the US, Europe, and Asia. So they need one solution to cover these remote locations and provide a proxy solution. In addition, we need to have minimum bandwidth latency, and Zscaler is the most suitable product we see. Whenever a customer comes to us with a large geographical spread in terms of their workforce, we propose and implement this solution across the cloud, as required.

We use the solution for web security services such as DLP, VPN, BPA, ZIA, and CASB.

We use the solution for internet access, web-based policies, and application-based policies. It has a device posture profile, which is new. DNS security is in progress now. I have done the test cases in my lab, however, now we are deploying it for 30,000 users. I'm working on that project as well. Apart from that, I have worked in ZIA's firewall and DLP.

Basically, they usually are the endpoint VPN connection to secure the end-user device. They also integrate with the SD One solution to form a secure endpoint assessment for the SD One, with security from the endpoints to the network. It serves as protection for the endpoint, especially laptops, to secure any internet access. Even when you assess the wireless itself, they also make sure that the traffic from the laptop is encrypted.

The product is an Internet proxy solution. We use it to manage our users' Internet access, making sure that they don't go to the wrong site. We also use it for data loss prevention.

It's primarily for end-user access to the public internet. We use the proxy functionality and the URL Filtering. We have a global policy for all our users. While there are a few categories of URLs that we are not allowed to do SSL inspection on, the primary function for us is to do SSL inspection so that we can make use of the built-in anti-malware and antivirus—the advanced-threat features—within the platform. We do SSL inspection of some 80 percent of all the traffic and we can evaluate if it's malicious or not. It is a cloud solution where pretty much everything is handled by Zscaler.

You can have mobile employees who forward traffic into a Zscaler client, or you could use a PAC file. So, if users connect at the beach, a hotel, coffee shop or something outside their actual office, it will give them protection. You can use it with a secured Internet using a web gateway to deliver to the cloud.

We use Zscaler for VPN connections and for internet security.

The product is an endpoint solution for private and internet security. I use it myself in my home office. I'm in sales. I use it as an endpoint solution for my laptop, for my device, in order to get access to some internal service applications, such as pricing and time management tools.

We primarily use the solution for a secure web gateway and secure internet access. We wanted something for an overall internet access solution, an in-office, and out-of-office solution. We chose Zscaler Internet Access.

We primarily use the product for proxy services. We are using that to manage services with a third party, so we are not directly exposed to Zscaler.

The solution is used to manage and protect end users' access to internet resources, websites, and web applications while checking for malicious or bad content in order to grant or block access to certain sites.

We are using the solution for internet security. It's mostly web-based filtering. We are into this modern world, meaning, we are working from home in hybrid scenario. Due to the pandemic, we have seen a lot of shifts towards a hybrid model of work. That provides lots of challenges in terms of security including, how to protect the users' machines and other devices. That is one of the core use cases. Wherever you are, you need to be protected. However, the traditional approaches such as a legacy-based proxy system won't work. If we have some kind of critical systems, we need to figure out how we can provide the access to all these users, all these remote or roaming users, access to these critical areas, and we need to eliminate those legacy-based VPNs. Zscaler is doing it best. Zscaler offers the best service since you are protected wherever you are.

It's a proxy solution, and we use it for reverse proxy, DNS security, and storage security.

One of the use cases is VPN replacement. Zscaler Private Access replaces the VPN solution.

I used Zscaler Internet Access for our proxy web traffic.

I use Zscaler Internet Access as an internet proxy for security.

Zscaler Internet Access is used for internet access, security related to internet access, and in some cases, connecting to online applications.

The solution is primarily used as a secure web gateway.

Because some of our employees need to work remotely, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were looking for a solution that would keep them safe. We have a Cisco ASA firewall in our company, but when people work remotely they can't be protected by that solution. That's why we decided to go for a WAF.

The primary use for the solution is to provide better more mature security for our client's networks.

The primary use case is to secure internet traffic. Users want to make sure that the site doesn't have DDoS attacks or any malware. Zscaler is able to protect data for individual organizations and for the country as well.

We use it for security. We installed it on our work computers and also for other traffic from the office. We are using it for perimeter security and that is useful for us.

Our primary use case of this solution is for the protection from malware and malicious attacks. We also use it for bandwidth control to compare business and individual use. We use it in conjunction with Palo Alto.

We primarily use this web security solution to protect our users in remote locations or branches from internet threats. It is very important for our organization to protect our users, even if they are not connected to our network.

We leverage it for web proxy and web security.

The primary use case is for organizations that have a lot of road warriors or very highly distributed small offices. It provides protection anywhere you are...whether you are in a hotel somewhere, or in Africa, it does not matter. You will get the Zscaler protection presence anywhere.
