Zscaler Resilience

Uninterrupted business continuity for customers, in all scenarios, with the industry’s most resilient security cloud

Zscaler Resilience™ is a complete set of capabilities that ensures uninterrupted business continuity during blackouts, brownouts, or even catastrophic black swan events.

why change

Business critical cloud applications require resilient services

Mass adoption of cloud services has accelerated innovation and saved organizations millions. However, increased reliance on cloud resources for mission-critical services means greater concern about possible unexpected outages.

We built the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ to be the most powerful, resilient cloud solution on the market. Zscaler leverages its advanced architecture and operational excellence to offer high availability and serviceability at all times. Our business continuity options let you stay operational, even during disasters.

Physical or virtual hardware

Robust hardware with sufficient processing capacity and redundancy provides the necessary foundation for high-performance computing.

Cloud software and architecture

Software developed on a robust architecture, purposefully designed from the ground up, provides differentiation and enables rapid innovation.

Interconnect

Carrier-neutral data centers, internet exchange peering, and sufficient bandwidth allow for uninterrupted connectivity and traffic flow. BGP controls reroute traffic to accommodate contingencies, providing additional flexibility.

Security and compliance

Best-in-class security rooted in the principle of least privilege—a key zero trust tenet—is at the core of the platform, minimizing the attack surface, reducing lateral movement, and preventing compromise and data loss.

In addition to our resilient infrastructure, Zscaler has perfected a set of equally resilient operational processes through our inline security cloud—the world’s largest—over the course of more than a decade. An operational model that complements cloud infrastructure is key to having the most resilient cloud, which is vital in everything from software development to incident management.

Minor failures

The Zscaler platform routinely handles common minor failures, such as those caused by node failure or software bugs, with little or no end user interaction required.

Blackouts

Effective failover mechanisms—autonomous or manual—can remediate local outages such as those in the data center or unexpected connectivity issues.

Brownouts

Several autonomous failover mechanisms, such as latency-based dynamic service edge selection and customer-controlled data center exclusion, can handle service degradation issues.

Catastrophic events (disasters)

During full cloud outages caused by black swan events, or cloud reachability issues, Zscaler business continuity solutions handle traffic to the internet, SaaS, and private apps, routing to private service edges for uninterrupted access and restricting access only to critical apps.
