The Problem

Your operations count on reliable, secure access

In-office or remote, your users need access to Microsoft 365 and potentially hundreds of other SaaS and web apps.

 

If you backhaul all that traffic through VPNs and firewalls in your data center, latency and network congestion are inevitable. In distributed environments, that means poor performance, frustrated users, and more IT support tickets.

product details

Identify and prioritize Microsoft 365 traffic

Optimize your Microsoft 365 traffic with one-click configuration. Through seamless integration with the Microsoft 365 endpoint web service, Zscaler continuously receives updates on Microsoft cloud changes. This ensures the Zscaler cloud can prioritize all Microsoft 365 traffic.

Identify

Egress network connections locally

Route all Microsoft 365 app traffic directly to the internet locally, not through central gateways. Our platform provides secure, fast Microsoft 365 access through direct internet connections. This reduces latency, enhances user experience, and ensures the fastest global connections with local DNS.

Egress

Assess bypassing proxies

Avoid inspecting Microsoft 365 traffic to prevent increased latency and hindered performance. Instead, gain full control over traffic flows, app usage, and traffic prioritization. The Zero Trust Exchange platform ensures robust security for all other internet traffic via direct connections.

Assess

Direct traffic to avoid network hairpins

Ensure your remote users connect directly to Microsoft. Hairpinning traffic through a VPN for access and security can cause high latency, leading to poor performance and user experiences. Instead, Zscaler Client Connector offers a direct path to Microsoft, optimizing both speed and app performance.

Direct

Deploy in minutes with no hardware or expert assistance

Deploy Microsoft 365 faster with a one-click solution. The Zscaler cloud auto-provisions Microsoft 365 connections and ensures fast, easy access through direct global peering with Microsoft. Quickly scale as needed, even to thousands of locations, with no hardware or IT overhead.
