Zscaler Private Access

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is a cloud-delivered, zero trust network access (ZTNA) service that provides secure access to all private applications, without the need for a remote access VPN. ZPA delivers a zero trust model by using the Zscaler security cloud to deliver scalable remote and local access to enterprise apps while never placing users on the network. ZPA uses micro-encrypted TLS tunnels and cloud-enforced business policies to create a secure segment of one between an authorized user and a specific named application. ZPA’s unique service-initiated architecture, in which App Connector connects outbound to the ZPA Public Service Edge (formerly Zscaler Enforcement Node) makes both the network and applications invisible to the internet. This model creates an isolated environment around each application rather than the network. This eliminates lateral movement and opportunity for ransomware spreads.
