Secure Private Access with ZTNA

Extend fast, secure, and reliable private app access for all users from any device or location.

Secure Private Access with ZTNA

Ensure secure private access while boosting productivity

Whether to trade off security or productivity is an impossible choice—but you don't have to choose. Adopt zero trust network access (ZTNA) that delivers fast and seamless user connectivity, minimizes risk, and mitigates lateral movement.

The Problem

Legacy network security doesn't protect your hybrid workforce or your business

Traditional firewalls and VPNs create a massive attack surface for attackers to find and exploit. They also put users directly on your network, giving them unrestricted access to your applications. If your users’ credentials are compromised, attackers have easy access to your sensitive data.

Using a VPN to enable your hybrid workforce and third-party access increases cyber risk, creates poor user experiences, and adds to administrative overhead. To provide secure access to users from any device and location, you need a more effective approach.

Product Overview
The fastest, most secure access to private apps, workloads, and OT

Zscaler Private Access™ (ZPA) offers seamless zero trust connectivity for all users, with AI-powered user-to-app segmentation and context-aware policies. The world’s most deployed ZTNA solution, ZPA can replace legacy tools like VPNs and VDI in just hours.

 

ZPA brokers direct, one-to-one connections between authorized users and specific apps. Unlike with a VPN, users never access the corporate network, and apps are never exposed to the public internet.
