Compromising Security

SO LUTI O N B R I E FEnable Remote Workforce Accesswith Zero Trust Security
Remote work was once considered a temporary

response to an uncertain time. Today, it has evolved
into the standard operating model for businesses intheir day-to-day operations. The widespread adoptionof remote work has become a dominant force, and it
isn’t going anywhere. As the workforce shifts to ahybrid mode allowing for flexibility between remote

and in-office work, the need for seamless and secure

digital collaboration is crucial to the safety and successof all enterprises. Legacy technologies, such as VPNs,

are simply insufficient to defend against the increasing
number of cyberattacks.

PingOne and PingFederate integrate with Zscaler tostrengthen network security by adding user anddevice context to your software-defined perimeterand establishing connections only when access criteria
are met.

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) provides fast, secureaccess to private apps and OT devices, enabling zerotrust connectivity for workloads. ZPA can replace

traditional remote access tools, such as VPN and VDIand works seamlessly with Ping's powerful federationand multi-factor authentication (MFA) capabilities.
User and group provisioning occur in real-time via

SCIM to enforce access policies and ensure that only

authorized users can connect to private apps and data.

There’s a more secure way to keep employees
productive and provide them with access to resourcesfrom anywhere, and it’s found in a Zero Trust approach.
Born out of the reality that external and internal threats
always exist, Zero Trust encourages security teams torely less on the safety of a network perimeter and moreon the identity of the user.
By leveraging secure processes and technologies
that can be applied directly to corporate resources,
regardless of where they’re located, Zero Trust is
helping enterprises strike the elusive balance between

security and convenience. Centralized authentication
services including single sign-on (SSO) and strict
identity verification give you the ability to authenticate
users across any app, any data or any cloud.
Ping Identity’s integration with Zscaler goesbeyond applying SSO to applications and extends
it to protecting networks. With Ping+Zscaler, you
can provide true Zero Trust security for all of your

applications, whether on-premises or in the cloud.
You’re able to enforce access policies in real-timeacross a Zero Trust network access service, making
access easier for employees while ensuring thatcompany resources are protected.

How Ping and Zscaler Work Together
With the joint solution, Ping verifies the user's identity

via authentication policies and Zscaler provides secureaccess to applications based on the principles of leastprivileged access.
