Zscaler Web Security based in Switzerland

Zscaler Cloud Services for secure access to the web and applications

Business applications run in the cloud and can be accessed by employees on the move or working from home, turning the Internet into a corporate network.

Instead of traditional perimeter protection, companies need security solutions that protect endpoints and applications with a zero-trust approach in every network – no matter how sophisticated the cyberattacks.

Zscaler Services from the cloud for the cloud

A security service from Swisscom data centres in Switzerland, Zscaler protects access to applications via any connection and from any end device. A complex and expensive redirection of traffic via the company network is no longer necessary. Zscaler Internet Access serves as a web proxy for cloud environments and simplifies access control. Zscaler Private Access, on the other hand, replaces a conventional VPN for accessing on-premise applications and prevents attacker infiltration of the corporate network. Cost effective and quickly deployed, this service from the cloud saves you from having to install complex security hardware.

When is it the right solution?

Your cloud strategy requires an IT security solution that reliably secures access to resources and applications from anywhere and supports both hybrid and multi-cloud architectures. The solution should also offer optimum protection against unknown dangers for your IT infrastructure.

Zscaler Services combine Security-as-a-Service directly from the cloud with access control and defence mechanisms in a unified architecture. Zscaler Internet Access and Zscaler Private Access protect your endpoints and applications as a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) with a zero-trust approach. With the central cloud security platform, you also reduce the complexity of your infrastructure because there is no need for comprehensive security infrastructures for each individual cloud and local IT.

Your benefits:

  • Protection against cyber attacks when accessed via any connection
  • Lower costs thanks to simplification of infrastructure
  • Unified and simplified access control

Three specific examples

Microsoft 365 deployment

Secure and fast access to cloud services

Customer situation

The move to Microsoft 365 at a company with 650 locations led to WAN and firewall congestion when employees accessed cloud services.

Our solution

With Zscaler Internet Access, the employees can access Microsoft 365 directly and securely. In addition, usage can be prioritised over less time-critical traffic.

Schools on the Net

Safe surfing at school

Customer situation

Students should only be able to access suitable and intended websites and should be protected from explicit and unsolicited content.

Our solution

With Zscaler Internet Access, schools can create and customise rules for web browsing in self-service without requiring specific expertise.

Support for modern ways of working

Secure access to company applications

Customer situation

Employees are increasingly working outside of company premises; from home for example. Access to local applications is via VPN, which requires a complex infrastructure and does not offer optimum security.

Our solution

Zscaler Private Access simplifies access to local applications and prevents cybercriminals from progressing through a company network (lateral movement). The cloud-based approach replaces expensive and time-consuming VPN solutions and ensures Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).
