Zscaler for State and Local Government

Secure, simplify, and transform your state or local agency with zero trust

We support state and local government organizations in their mission to transform and modernize securely. The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ enables a cost-effective IT architecture for seamless, secure exchange of information, protecting data and enhancing the user experience.

Why It Matters

Embracing the cloud means rethinking security

To achieve IT modernization goals, improve workforce productivity and retention, and enhance citizen engagement, applications must move out of the data center and into the cloud. Users are connecting from everywhere using a variety of devices, extending the security perimeter to the internet.

This shift requires state and local governments to strategize how best to secure applications regardless of the user’s device or location. The Zero Trust Exchange provides an effective whole-of-state approach to efficiently improve security posture and online experience for all users.
