Zscaler is responsible for securing more than 400 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies. They provide security as a service delivered through a purpose-built, globally distributed platform. The focus of this lab is zero trust access utilizing a solution known as Zscaler Private Access (ZPA). ZPA is a cloud service that provides seamless, zero trust access to private applications running on public cloud or within the data center. With ZPA, applications don't need to be exposed to the internet, making them completely invisible to unauthorized users. This service enables the applications to connect to users via inside-out connectivity versus extending the network to them. It disrupts legacy approaches to remote access such as traditional VPN, establishing per-service dynamic encryption and trust evaluation.

This lab exists to provide hands-on experience with the integration between ZIA, CrowdStrike Falcon, and Okta through relevant use cases. First, this lab can be used to see how the integration between CrowdStrike Falcon and ZIA can ensure administrators have end-to-end insight into the threat landscape to minimize attack surface and deliver rapid threat detection and response. On top of this, the lab allows users to see how Okta can integrate with both CrowdStrike and Zscaler to strengthen a company's Zero Trust profile, enhance threat detection during authentication and monitor the intersection of security and access management.

WWT's ATC CrowdStrike and Zscaler Integrated lab exists to showcase the integration between CrowdStrike's Falcon Platform, Zscaler Private Access and Zscaler Client Connector through relevant use cases.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), coined by Gartner in 2019, is a solution that blends networking and security into cloud-scale architecture that optimizes end user performance and improves security for an organization. Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) is a secure Internet and web gateway cloud-delivered SASE service that sits between the users and the internet. ZIA will inspect every byte of traffic inline across multiple security techniques providing full protection from web and internet threats. The SASE Lab Series will look to explore the capabilities of the solution to provide you with a "rubber meets road" understanding of these technologies and how SASE can be applied in your company.
