And ZPA enables faster migration of production workloads to AWS by reducing cost and complexity.

FeaturesFast, secure remote user access
Unlike traditional networks and legacy castle
and moat security (VPNs, firewalls, etc.), Zscaler
Private Access (ZPA) delivers zero trust leastprivileged access by connecting authorizedusers directly to specific AWS private apps andworkloads - never to the network. This reduces
the attack surface, prevents threats from moving
laterally, and eliminates backhauling of traffic
over slow, expensive VPNs. As a result, remoteusers enjoy fast, secure, and reliable access toprivate apps and workloads on AWS.

Accelerate app migration to AWS
Zscaler Private Access quickly discovers appsso organizations can prioritize their migration.
Zscaler provides consistent, direct access andsecurity before, during and after migration andis cloud native, which eliminates delays causedby hardware lead times, transportation, andinstallation. Zscaler utilizes business policies
for user access, eliminating complex legacy
policies based on IP addresses, ACLs, etc..
This enables organizations to quickly identify,protect, and migrate apps to AWS while
reducing costs and complexity.
