Analyze organizational security, reduce risk, and minimize operational disruption

Security vulnerabilities in your private web applications and APIs leave you exposed to ransomware and other malware. Prevent compromises with inline protection against web- and identity-based threats.

Reduce web-based threats and prevent zero-day attacks with inline inspection

Identify and detect Active Directory (AD) attacks

Detect and report suspicious browser-based activity

The Problem

Private apps are vulnerable to web, API, and AD attacks

Misconfigurations, insecure designs, and unpatched components sharply increase enterprise risk. Organizations need to mitigate these risks—particularly web app and API risks as highlighted in the OWASP Top 10—before they turn into breaches.

At the same time, vulnerabilities in core network services like Kerberos, LDAP, and SMB are driving the need for advanced monitoring, enhanced encryption, and strict access controls. To defend against critical CVEs and zero-day attacks, organizations need to prioritize real-time threat detection and proactive security strategies.

Solution Overview

Shield private apps from sophisticated web and identity-based threats

Zscaler AppProtection, an integral component of Zscaler Private Access™ (ZPA), guards against web and identity-based threats with comprehensive inline inspection of app traffic (Layer 7). This advanced solution strengthens security measures, enhances threat detection, and aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

Block malicious traffic

Identify and block traffic aimed at exploiting vulnerabilities or changing application logic.

Guard against CVEs

Protect against the latest CVEs with timely signatures and virtual patching from Zscaler ThreatLabz.

Unify point solutions

Consolidate multiple solutions into one, reducing misconfiguration and incompatibility risks.

Align with MITRE ATT&CK

Evaluate your security posture and assess cyber risks based on known attacker behaviors.

Benefits

Improve security posture through simplicity

Get layered protection

Minimize the attack surface and inspect each web request to block malicious users.

Reduce risk

Stop web-based threats and CVEs with timely signatures and virtual patching.

Simplify compliance

Align with MITRE ATT&CK and get audit details as well as real-time threat detection.

Streamline policy

Eliminate misconfigurations and unify management through a single console.

Solution Details

Inline Traffic Inspection

CVE Detection and Response

Browser Session Protection

Effortless Deployment

Reduce threats with inline traffic inspection

Analyze every HTTP/S, Kerberos, LDAP, and SMB transaction between users and private apps, providing visibility into app traffic (Layer 7) and blocking malicious activity—impossible with traditional network security controls at Layer 4.

Reduce web-based threats with inline traffic inspection

Detect and respond to the latest CVEs with virtual patching

Protect against the latest zero-day threats using predefined signatures from the Zscaler ThreatLabz security research team.

Detect and report suspicious browser-based activity

Identify high-risk users by examining unique fingerprints generated by browser activity and flagging users with anomalous access patterns.

Integrated for effortless deployment

Easily deploy and scale with centralized management from the ZPA console, with no new components to install in your environment.

Use Cases

Deliver safe access for users anywhere

Protect private apps from third-party web threats

Ensure robust security for private apps with a comprehensive approach, including OWASP Top 10 protection and reporting of suspicious browser-based activities. Aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, protect against third-party web threats such as browser session hijacking.

Get detailed visibility into user logging paths during VPN replacement

Understand domain and path access for all users of web applications and APIs. Monitor the logging details of every user accessing a private application. Detailed visibility into every user transaction and response code can help detect malicious activity.

Stop web and identity threats and stay compliant during M&A

Inspect and monitor all users accessing apps for web threats, including the OWASP Top 10 risks. Protect against Active Directory attacks such as kerberoasting, LDAP, and SMB enumeration while stopping malicious insiders. This is crucial when integrating networks and apps with different credentials and authentication systems.
