The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange
Network- and firewall-centric architectures cannot deliver the security or agility that our mobile and cloud era demands. A new architecture is required.
Three areas of transformation
Architecture Matters
Digital transformation requires a zero trust architecture
Network- and firewall-centric architecture
A trusted network connects users, sites, and apps, but once breached, enables attackers to move laterally and steal data. On top of being a security risk, it's complex and impedes transformation.

Zero trust architecture
Business policies determine who can access what over any network; the network is just transport. It's secure, simple, and enables transformation.

How firewall and VPN architectures increase risk
Transform your architecture from firewalls to zero trust
Organizations worldwide have spent billions on firewalls, yet breaches are increasing. The problem is simple: traditional firewall-centric architectures are no longer effective against cyberthreats.
Built on the principle of least privilege, Zscaler’s proxy architecture enables full TLS/SSL inspection at scale, with connections brokered between users and applications based on identity, context, and business policies.
The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange reduces risk across all four stages of the attack chain
Minimizes the attack surface
Hide applications behind Zscaler and make them invisible to the internet
Prevents compromise
Inspect all traffic, including encrypted traffic, and block threats
Eliminates lateral movement
Connect authorized users directly to apps, not to the network
Stops data loss
Automatically identify and protect sensitive data in motion and at rest
How It’s Done
Only Zscaler zero trust leverages the full power of AI
The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ starts with the premise that no user, workload, or device is inherently trustworthy. The platform verifies identity, determines destination, assesses risk through AI, and enforces policy before brokering a secure connection between a user, workload, or device and an application—over any network, from anywhere.
Verify identity
Verify whoever or whatever is attempting access. User, device, or workload identity is confirmed through integrations with third-party identity providers.
Determine destination
Identify where the connection is going—whether to a webpage, SaaS app, private app, or something else—and ensure the destination is known and understood.
Assess risk
Use AI to determine risk based on context, considering factors like user behavior, device posture, destination and content, third-party intel, and more than 500 trillion daily signals.
Enforce policy
Determine what action to take. This is done on a per-session basis and ultimately results in a conditional allow or block for each access request.
