Overview

Visibility is the cornerstone of zero trust

You shouldn't have to compromise between performance and security when it comes to your network. Keep your users, customers, and data safe with 100% SSL inspection that never slows you down.

The Problem

Encryption is a double-edged sword

Most of today's web traffic is encrypted—a major win for data privacy. But most of today's threats exploit encryption, too—a major win for attackers. That's why SSL inspection is a vital part of protecting against modern threats.

Unfortunately, decryption and inspection require a huge amount of compute resources. With the processing limitations of appliance-based security solutions, they can devastate your network’s performance. Rather than bring operations to a standstill, many organizations have no choice but to reduce or even bypass inspection, leaving them blind to hidden threats.

Benefits

Gain deep visibility and precise control

icon-cloud-dotted-users
Inspect 100% of your users’ TLS/SSL traffic

Protect your users on or off-network, without slowing them or your network down. The cloud native service scales to meet your demand.

icon-complexity
Simplify administration and cert. management

Stop managing certs individually across gateways. Certificates are available across 150+ PoPs worldwide, and can be rotated via API as often as needed.

icon-file-list-shield-checkmark
Enforce granular policy controls

Ensure regulatory compliance and minimize user frustration by excluding specific websites, apps, or categories (e.g., healthcare, banking) from decryption.

Enhance secure communication
Enhance secure communication

Ensure support for the latest AES/GCM and DHE codes for perfect forward secrecy (PFS). User data is never stored in the cloud.

Solution Details
Sophisticated protection against sophisticated threats

Protect your users anywhere, on any device, however they connect to the internet. Always-on, cloud-delivered ransomware protection and zero day threat prevention provide deep visibility into malware behavior.

solution-detail-advanced-threat-protection

Advanced Threat Protection

Stop advanced cyberthreats with built-in protections against botnets, command-and-control traffic, risky peer-to-peer sharing, malicious active content, cross-site scripting, fraud sites, and more.

solution-detail-ai-powered-sandbox

AI-Powered Sandbox

Stop never-before-seen malware inline with shared protections sourced from more than 400 billion daily transactions and 500 trillion signals. Suspicious files never leave quarantine until they’re confirmed clean.

solution-detail-data-protection

Data Protection

Get full visibility over all your data, wherever it may be. See all data leaving your organization inside TLS/SSL, ensuring sensitive data doesn’t leave your organization maliciously or accidentally.

Go Beyond NGFW
Proxy-based inspection, not legacy NGFW

Next-generation firewalls perform packet-level inspection, only seeing a fraction of malware. Key features like threat prevention slow NGFWs to a crawl that only a hardware upgrade will overcome.

 

Zscaler SSL Inspection, built on our unique proxy architecture, enables full end-to-end inspection that never slows you down. Sandbox, DLP, and more are natively integrated in the platform, not bolted on, ensuring seamless protection at scale.
