Zscaler Cloud Connector

The following are some key Cloud Connector features and benefits:

Security: Secures all inbound and outbound traffic to the internet. The security capabilities that are available through the ZIA platform for server internet access are Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Firewall, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), etc.

Connectivity: Provides seamless connectivity from private or public cloud applications to the internet.

Performance: Ensures better end-user experience and application performance by peering into relationships with SaaS providers (e.g., Microsoft Office 365, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure).

Reduces Cost: Consolidates multiple products (e.g., Squid proxies, firewalls, third-party NAT appliances, URL filtering, etc.) into a single solution. Additionally, the same policy applied to user traffic can be applied across the cloud infrastructure. Highly Scalable: Ease of implementation across 1,000 service accounts in public clouds and a single solution scales to connect 10K+ server environments in public clouds (e.g., AWS, Azure, etc.).

Ease of Deployment: Fully orchestrated deployment for AWS and Azure using Terraform, CloudFormation, and Azure Resource Manager.

Real-Time Visibility: Dashboards and Insights provide unparalleled visibility into your users and applications, and the health of your organization's applications and servers.

Mergers and Acquisitions: Securely integrates public cloud accounts/networks with the same consistent security controls and enables connectivity between merged/acquired organizations' cloud networks without having to directly connect them or worry about overlapping IP space.
