Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At my company we use both ZIA(kind of like a proxy out to the public internet) and ZPA (enterprise VPN). ZPA is faster than the VPN we used to use. ZIA is good because it allows to set up policies to blacklist certain URLs. ZPA is cloud based and uses the zero-trust model so user data cannot be seen internally.

Pros

  • Zero Trust
  • Honeypots/nets etc.
  • Fast GUI

Cons

  • Cannot use internal DNS
  • Much tuning needed
  • Access typically limited to internal apps

Return on Investment

  • We haven't fully implemented Zscaler to the whole company yet due to the lack of DNS visibility.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are in the middle of a segregation program within our company and it requires zero trust with other domains and requires complete security protocols to be implemented. By using Zscalar Deception Technology we've been able to limit the cyber-attacks by blocking the proxy, making sure we get lesser number of false positives. The threat detection is wider.

Pros

  • Eliminates false positive alerts.
  • Wider Threat protection.
  • Easier to use and requires very less maintenance.

Return on Investment

  • Improved threat detection.
  • Lesser false positive alerts.

Other Software Used

Azure AD Security Governance, McAfee Endpoint Security
