United Airlines Detects and Blocks Evolving Threats with the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange

A traditional, perimeter-based architecture reliant on data centers could not support accelerated digital transformation

Legacy firewalls and VPNs lacked the agility to scale with an increase in remote work, putting users and data at risk

Previous security point products lacked advanced threat detection capabilities, exposing a wider attack surface

1. Provided secure, direct connectivity to the internet and SaaS apps to ensure consistent protection for users anywhere
2. Replaced VPNs with least-privileged, zero trust access policies to protect private apps and data from compromise 
3. Leveraged cloud integrations and experience monitoring features to increase real-time visibility into threats

Enables 80,000 employees to work safely from any location and secures remote access for 2,000+ critical private apps

Reduces architecture complexity and cost—zero firewalls needed at airports and six security point products eliminated

Unifies the security ecosystem and dynamically enforces policies to block 40% more threats and improve security posture
