| “Following the successful adoption of email security in-the-cloud, we are seeing increased interest from large and small organizations to leverage SaaS security to protect their HTTP/HTTPS channel. SaaS is ideal for large corporations with dozens of Internet gateways, where deploying traditional point products is very expensive. It is a good fit for small businesses, which do not have enough IT staff. Zscaler’s well-designed in-the-cloud service with integrated functionality provides high security and granular control at low TCO.” |

| "[SaaS] alleviates a lot of the problems of buying equipment, dealing with capital budgets, and dealing with the hassles of managing and maintaining equipment. I think this is the kind of thing people are generally wiling to outsource…[Chaudhry] has had a great track record of anticipating the market.“ |

“Wipro helps its global customers deploy robust risk management and governance solutions based on industry best practices. We are seeing growing interest from our customers for the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model as it provides a more cost-effective alternative solution for enterprises to achieve regulatory compliance rather than implementing traditional packaged applications. We are glad to partner with Zscaler to provide comprehensive functionality using their SaaS model to deliver higher value and greater ROI.”

“The return on investment model of Zscaler pretty much makes it a "no- brainer" compared to first buying and installing a raft of security products and then hiring people to manage them.“

“The single biggest issue most companies have with security today is what it costs to be secure.
Every where you go there has been an explosion of security devices that all purport to deal with some specific issue or another. That's all fine for as far as it goes, but then you have to hire all the people required to manage those devices. Of course, those people are in short supply so they tend to command a premium salary….This is why it is with great interest that IT organizations are now watching the emergence of security in the cloud services. One of the first offerings using this model is a new provider called Zscaler, which has been launched by Jay Chaudhry.” |

| “Zscaler, a Santa Clara start-up created by serial security entrepreneur Jay Chaudhry, is publicly unveiling itself…[He’s] like the Brett Favre of security entrepreneurs –- he keeps coming back…Zscaler’s idea is to relieve companies of the tiresome and costly burden of managing Web filtering and security on their own servers. Instead, the cloud-based service, which is rented to companies by the month, acts like a Web proxy, intercepting all incoming and outbound HTTP traffic from employees and scrubbing it for malware and online activity that violates company policy.” |
 |
| Brad Stone, The New York Times |
| |
| “Zscaler…includes a high-performance proxy engine, a software architecture that allows a single instance of security applications that can handle multiple users' traffic, compression technology that reduces logs by 50-fold and a global network.” |
 |
| Tim Greene, Network World |
| |
| The service, which eliminates the need for multiple single-function devices at the edge of corporate networks, also logs security activity for reporting and forensic analysis by customers; provides antivirus and antispyware; blocks bots, peer-to-peer networks, malicious content and phishing; and controls access to social networking sites, streaming content and Web mail. |
 |
| |
| “As customers begin to realize that the protection being offered by Security-as-a-Service is just as competent as traditional security applications, they will also realize that it will reduce their costs -- not to mention that some products can provide end-to-end security instead of simply focusing on a single security vulnerability like email. “ |
 |
| Brian Kraemer, ChannelWeb |
| |
| “Web-borne malware rivals surpass email as an attack vector. Criminals use phishing and other ploys to lure users to websites that download Trojans and other nasty stuff. The problem is exacerbated as legitimate websites are often compromised, and traditional signature-based antimalware doesn't detect script-based attacks. Web 2.0 introduced a whole new vector.” |
 |
| Neil Roiter, Senior Technology Editor, Information Security magazine |
| |
“The [Zscaler] globally-based infrastructure screens all HTTP traffic incoming and outgoing, looking for malicious software. It can also scan for activity that could run counter to a company's stated policies.” |
