Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform: Unified Security for Users, Workloads, and Devices 

Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange™ platform stands at the heart of the Zscaler SASE solution, delivering unified security for users, workloads, and devices. As a cloud-native, globally distributed platform, it enforces least-privileged access for all users, applications, IoT/OT systems, and B2B partners. Unlike traditional perimeter security, the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform utilizes an identity-driven, dynamic model that brokers secure, one-to-one connections between authenticated users or devices and authorized applications—never placing anything directly on the network. Through real-time assessment of identity, device posture, location, and business policy, Zscaler Zero Trust eliminates lateral movement and minimizes the attack surface, ensuring robust risk management. With full inline inspection of all traffic, including encrypted sessions, the Zscaler solution detects threats and prevents data loss. WWT, as a Zscaler partner, supports enterprise adoption of the Zero Trust Exchange through the Advanced Technology Center (ATC), allowing organizations to simulate hybrid environments, validate policy enforcement, and benchmark the performance of their Zscaler SASE deployment.

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA): SASE ZTNA and Zero Trust SD-WAN for Private Applications

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is a core component of the SASE Zero Trust architecture, delivering Zscaler ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) as a cloud-based alternative to legacy VPNs. ZPA and Zero Trust SD-WAN capabilities ensure secure, identity-aware access to internal applications without expanding the network perimeter. By leveraging dynamic, policy-based access controls, ZPA evaluates identity, device posture, and context in real time, keeping applications hidden from unauthorized users and never exposed to the internet. The Zscaler solution supports multi-cloud and hybrid environments, integrating natively with identity providers and endpoint security platforms to create granular policies and enable microsegmentation—no legacy firewalls required. WWT helps organizations design, test, and deploy ZPA and Zero Trust SD-WAN architectures that drive secure remote work, operational agility, and simplified management at scale.

Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA): Zscaler Secure Web Gateway and SASE Threat Prevention

Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), the industry-leading Zscaler secure web gateway, forms the foundation of Zscaler's Security Service Edge (SSE) offering. ZIA delivers full inline inspection for all internet-bound and encrypted traffic. Its unified security stack includes secure web gateway (SWG), firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), cloud access security broker (CASB), data loss prevention (DLP), and advanced threat protection. Zscaler SASE supports deployment via lightweight endpoint agents, GRE/IPSec tunnels, and seamless SD-WAN integration—ensuring consistent security for all users and devices. With Zscaler SASE, organizations gain direct-to-cloud access while maintaining complete visibility and control over user activity and data movement. As a Zscaler partner, WWT helps enterprises consolidate legacy appliances, optimize ZIA and SASE configurations, and validate deployments through robust ATC testing environments.

Cyber Threat Protection with Zscaler SASE: AI Security, Risk Management, and SOC Integration

Zscaler's Cyber Threat Protection capabilities are deeply embedded in the Zero Trust Exchange Platform, leveraging Zscaler AI Security and global threat intelligence to provide real-time detection and response at cloud scale. Inline inspection, advanced AI-driven behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence from Zscaler ThreatLabz protect users and workloads from malware, ransomware, phishing, and zero-day attacks. Zscaler SASE continuously evaluates risk based on user activity, device status, and application context, enforcing adaptive policies and automating threat containment. The Zero Trust SASE model drastically reduces the breach impact. WWT's ATC empowers customers to simulate cyber threats, validate Zscaler technology partners' integrations, and streamline SOC workflows, accelerating time to value for Zscaler solutions.

Data Protection with Zscaler: Inline DLP, CASB, and AI-Driven Safeguards

Zscaler data protection is engineered for seamless security across SaaS, endpoints, and user interactions. The platform features powerful inline data loss prevention (DLP), CASB, and AI-driven classification to identify, secure, and manage both structured and unstructured data—including sensitive documents, source code, and PII. Context-aware policies use user roles, devices, locations, and application risk to enforce compliance. Zscaler's DLP engine enables exact data match (EDM), document fingerprinting, and OCR capabilities; its CASB ensures visibility and control over sanctioned and shadow SaaS app usage. The Zscaler SASE solution supports global regulatory compliance standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA. WWT enables customers to rigorously test and implement Zscaler data protection and SASE features in real-world environments for effective, policy-driven security outcomes.

Zero Trust SASE Architecture: Converging Zscaler SD-WAN, SASE ZTNA, and Unified Security

Zscaler's Zero Trust SASE architecture converges Zscaler SD-WAN, secure web gateway, Zscaler ZTNA, CASB, and other security layers into a unified cloud services model. This enables high-performance, secure access to applications from anywhere, supporting direct internet breakouts and improving user experience while maintaining strict security control. The Zscaler SASE solution offers centralized management, reducing the complexity of multiple point products and streamlining security operations. WWT and Zscaler, as trusted technology partners, deliver SASE solutions that seamlessly connect users, branches, and cloud services through a resilient global infrastructure. All deployments are validated in WWT's Advanced Technology Center, ensuring each Zscaler SASE and Zero Trust SD-WAN implementation meets the highest standards of security, performance, and compliance.

AI-Driven Zero Trust Security: Visibility, Automation, and Threat Intelligence

Zscaler AI Security solutions accelerate zero trust transformation by providing advanced analytics, automated policy enforcement, and contextual threat intelligence. Processing more than 5 trillion signals daily, Zscaler leverages AI for zero-day threat detection, anomaly identification, and dynamic data classification. The Zero Trust SASE platform also inspects and governs the use of generative AI platforms, applying zero trust policies to public and private AI tool usage—including ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. WWT, as a leading Zscaler partner, supports the adoption of AI-enhanced Zscaler solutions by providing architecture design, integration, and lab-based validation, ensuring that organizations operationalize Zscaler risk management with speed, accuracy, and confidence.
