ZPA is built based on the zero trust concept that all users/clients, including partners and other third-party users, must be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated for security posture before being granted access through the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange. Unlike a VPN, users do not connect to the network; they are only provided access to an allowed application per security policy. AI-powered App Segmentation, at the core of ZPA, plays an important role in this.
In the SSE framework, the software-defined perimeter ensures that only authorized users can access private applications via dedicated tunnels, eliminating the need for a traditional network perimeter. Zscaler AI-powered App Segmentation leverages AI/ML algorithms to:
With its AI/ML engine, ZPA uses this data to enhance security policies, significantly reducing the attack surface. It dynamically adjusts access policies based on user requests, authentication, and device integrity, creating a secure tunnel directly to the specified application. This continuous monitoring and adaptive access make ZPA a leading solution for ZTNA-based private application access.
With ZPA, deploying user-to-app segmentation is straightforward and scalable. Simply define your application segments, implement policies, and then visualize the results of the segmentation.
