Zscaler Inc. is expanding the application of zero trust principles to enhance security for users, workloads, and third parties amidst evolving cybersecurity threats. Founder and CEO Jay Chaudhry reflects on the advent of zero trust security, underscoring the need for limited access to applications rather than network-wide access. As remote work spreads, traditional network methods are becoming inadequate, prompting Zscaler to advocate for a structure where each branch operates independently, akin to secure mobile devices, facilitating better security and connectivity.
Zero trust has emerged as cybersecurity's essential principle due to escalating threats, urging a redefinition of security methods for users, workloads, and third-party relations.
Jay Chaudhry emphasizes that Zscaler originated from the principle of limiting user access. Zero trust was not a known term then, but the market has embraced it.
Chaudhry describes their Zero Trust Exchange as a smart network aimed at connecting 50 million users securely without trusting their presence on the network.
The pandemic's push for remote work necessitated a change in security methodology, leading Zscaler to propose treating each branch as an independent café with secure connections.
