ZPA

Secure Private Access

Fast, secure, and reliable private app access for all users from any device or location

Zscaler Private Access™ (ZPA) gives users the fastest, most secure access to private apps and OT devices while enabling zero trust connectivity for workloads.

As the world’s most deployed zero trust network access (ZTNA) solution, ZPA offers zero trust connectivity, minimizes security risks, and mitigates lateral threat movement through advanced segmentation and AI-powered, context-aware policies.

Why It Matters

Legacy network security is incompatible with today’s hybrid workforce

Traditional firewalls and VPNs create a massive attack surface that lets attackers see and exploit exposed resources.

By putting users on the network and letting them access any application it hosts, these legacy approaches give attackers easy access to sensitive data. They make it challenging and time-consuming to safely provide access or share resources with third-party vendors, contractors, and agencies. Beyond that, they drive up costs and complexity, and are too slow to serve today's hybrid workforce.

Private Service Edge

Bring the power of ZTNA for your on-premises users with least-privileged access to private apps, connecting users directly to applications.

Digital Experience Monitoring

Optimize your digital experiences to keep users productive by rapidly detecting and resolving app, network, and device issues.

Cyberthreat Protection

Advanced cyber protection capabilities protect users, workloads, and devices as they access private applications. 

Cyberthreat Protection
Key Capabilities

AppProtection

Stop the most prevalent application attacks and emerging zero-day vulnerabilities with inline security inspection.

Deception

Lure, detect, and intercept attackers with decoy applications, limiting their ability to find targets or move laterally.

Data Protection

Holistic zero configuration data protection across all channels eliminates the need for point data protection solutions.

Data Protection
Key capabilities

Web DLP

Protect data in motion with full inline inspection including Exact Data Match (EDM), Indexed Data Match (IDM), and machine learning.

Endpoint DLP

Secure endpoint data, control removable media, and prevent BYOD data loss.

Browser Isolation

Eliminate the risk of sensitive data loss through vulnerable users and infected endpoints by allowing secure access to private applications through browser isolation.

Use Cases

What Zscaler Private Access can deliver

Secure remote access (VPN alternative)

Modernize and secure remote access for your data center/cloud applications and OT systems by replacing your legacy VPN with the world’s most deployed ZTNA solution.

On-premises ZTNA and disaster recovery

Bring users back to the office securely with consistent access and experience for remote and in-office users, along with business continuity even during a black swan event.

Secure third-party access

Extend secure private app access to third-party vendors, contractors, and suppliers with superior support for BYOD and unmanaged devices without an endpoint agent.

VDI replacement

Give your users a faster, smoother experience than slow, expensive legacy VDI while protecting data on BYOD and unmanaged devices.

OT connectivity

Provide fast, reliable, and secure remote access to industrial IoT/OT devices for easier remote maintenance and troubleshooting of systems.

Multicloud connectivity

Help your organization thrive in a hybrid and multicloud environment with superior workload-to-workload communications.

Eliminate lateral threat movement

Minimize the attack surface and prevent lateral movement with user-to-app and app-to-app segmentation, connecting users directly to private apps with identity-based authentication and access policies.

M&A integration

Accelerate mergers and acquisitions by enabling fast, secure app access without integrating the networks.
