Zscaler + Tufin: More Secure Together

SSE is defined by Gartner as a convergence of cloud-based network security services delivered from a purpose-built cloud platform. It is considered a subset of the secure access service edge (SASE) framework. SSE architecture is dedicated entirely to delivering security services.

Zscaler Internet Access is a cloud-native security service edge (SSE) solution. It is a a SaaS solution to simplify network security and operations for cloud- and mobile-first enterprises. It boasts a seamless user experience.

All users, apps, devices, and locations get always-on threat protection based on identity and context. It provides inline inspection of all internet traffic, including SSL decryption, with a suite of “AI-powered” cloud security services. Zscaler claims to stop ransomware, zero-day malware, and advanced attacks leveraging threat intelligence from 300 trillion daily signals.

Zscaler applies the principles of least privilege to give users direct connection to private applications hidden from the Internet.while eliminating unauthorized access and lateral movement. A cloud native service, ZPA can be deployed in hours to replace legacy VPNs and remote access tools with a holistic zero trust platform.

It is a zero-trust, next-generation firewall that enables speedy, secure network connections for all internet traffic, including SSL encrypted traffic. This next-gen firewall (NGFW) and cloud security platform offers unlimited scalability and provides ongoing, consistent protection for users across your corporate network, no matter their device or location.

Zscaler Cloud Firewall allows teams to:

• Provide DNS security with local resolutions that maintain performance while protecting users from malicious sites and DNS tunneling
• Proxy everything that appears to be HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, or FTP traffic with an advanced deep packet inspection engine
• Inspect and identify advanced threats and hidden attacks, even on non-standard ports
• Maintain security with a cloud intrusion prevention system (IPS) that runs 24/7
• Gain cloud-delivered threat protection with presence on the global edge
• Enact URL filtering and configure policy rules
• Attain superior cloud security outcomes from Zscaler’s Zero-Trust Exchange, a cloud-native security service edge (SSE) platform
• Ensure quality user experience with direct-to-cloud architecture that optimizes ever user paths
• Obtain end-to-end visibility into app and endpoint performance
• Configure firewall policies and define rules for firewall filtering, NAT control, DNS control, and IPS control policies

It is Zscaler’s cloud native platform that connects workloads, devices, and users instead of putting them on the corporate network. The platform verifies the identity and profile of the user, their device (including IoT devices), for workload through third-party access management providers.

The Zero Trust Exchange helps teams to:

• Minimize attack surface, find threats hiding in encrypted traffic with SSL inspection, and protect against threats like malware
• Overcome the pitfalls of traditional firewalls, including high false positives and attacks over encrypted traffic
• Implement zero-trust software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) that harnesses connectivity to secure communications across branches, data centers, cloud services, SaaS, and public clouds
• Eliminate site-to-site VPNs and enable application and network access across branch offices over the internet

Zscaler Cloud Sandbox is a malware prevention engine that delivers inline, latency-free traffic inspection across web and file transfer protocols, including SSL/TLS.
