Overview

Securely connect your branches and data centers without the complexity of routable networks

Don't let legacy network solutions allow cyberthreats to move freely between your branches, factories, and data centers. Embrace simple, secure connectivity between your sites, data centers, and cloud providers, built on a secure access service edge (SASE) framework, with Zero Trust SD-WAN.

The Problem

Traditional SD-WAN facilitates the spread of ransomware

Your users and devices need secure access to apps located on the internet, public cloud, and private data centers. Traditional software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solutions achieve this by extending your network everywhere. Unfortunately, they also enable attackers to move freely throughout your network.

Costs and complexity
Costs and complexity

Managing site-to-site VPNs and overlay routing is costly and work-intensive, reducing productivity.

Lateral threat movement
Lateral threat movement

Flat, internet-exposed networks let threats like ransomware move freely through your environment and infect anything.

Performance bottlenecks
Performance bottlenecks

Routing all WAN traffic through your data centers or VPN hubs for access and security slows it down, causing poor performance.

Product Overview
Benefits

Connect and protect your entire ecosystem

Improved user experience
Improve user experience and productivity

Replace complex site-to-site VPNs with a direct-to-cloud architecture that improves application traffic flow and performance.

Minimize the internet attack surface
Minimize the internet attack surface

Hide your private applications behind the Zero Trust Exchange, where they can’t be discovered or attacked from the internet.

Prevent lateral movement
Prevent lateral threat movement

Provide direct access to applications, not your network, unlike the open attack surface inherent to site-to-site VPN.

Deploy and integrate with ease
Deploy and integrate with ease

Replace multiple products (e.g., routers, firewalls, VPNs) with a plug-and-play appliance that extends zero trust to all users and devices.

Product Details
Optimize your branch without the complexity of multiple devices

Rapidly deploy Zero Trust SD-WAN with Zscaler Edge appliances, available in a physical or virtual form factor, in one-armed mode or inline gateway mode. All Zscaler Edge appliances feature:

 

  • Zero touch provisioning and automated deployment
  • App-aware path selection and ISP link management
  • Granular forwarding policy for internet, private app, and direct WAN traffic
  • URL filtering, file type control, and cloud firewall policies for internet-bound traffic
  • Zero trust policies for IoT devices and servers
  • Centralized visibility and logging
Optimize your branch without the complexity of multiple devices
Use cases

Zero Trust SD-WAN in action

Site to site vpn replacement

Eliminate complex site-to-site VPNs or hub-and-spoke networks with a direct-to-cloud architecture, improving performance.

Accelerate m&a integration

Enable branches in one IT environment to quickly connect to private apps in another, with no need to integrate networks, with zero touch provisioning.

Secure access to ot resources

Provide clientless browser-based access to SSH/RDP ports on OT assets for vendors/contractors while eliminating the attack surface by removing exposed SSH/RDP ports or VPN endpoints.

Iot device discovery and classification

Get deeper visibility and insights into IoT devices at the branch. Automatically classify devices based on traffic profiles, and easily manage policy controls for IoT traffic.

Achieve zero trust sase

Reduce business risk and network complexity with the first Zero Trust SASE, built on Zero Trust SD-WAN. Go beyond SASE architectures built on traditional SD-WAN technology that undermines zero trust.
