Zscaler Deception

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.

Zscaler Deception Technology is well suited for companies that want to provide private access to their internal apps without using a VPN. Zscaler integrates zero trust into their honey tools that is good for detecting lateral movement. With Zscaler you allow only your employees to be able to access internal apps so detecting a bad actor is much easier.

It effectively and efficiently detects threats in real-time by creating decoys deployed in the network alongside real assets. It also identifies privilege escalation. It has given our team the ability to think strategically about security. It is easy to create decoys that really blended in with our network. It also helps us in threat hunting.

The most important consideration in deception technology is the accuracy of alerts so that we can investigate further. Zscaler deception technology has very low false positives. A great customer support team. Zscaler team provides regular software updates with improved security and new features. Initially, this tool has a limitation of appliance dependence but with the launch of the SAAS version, this limitation has been removed.

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.

The application is well suited to maintain zero trust within the networks, it provides imported threat detection, and eliminates false positive alerts.
