Traditional firewalls, VPNs, and public point solutions for data security are failing in the AI era, because they expand your attack surface and allow lateral threat movement. The Zero Trust Exchange delivers a new approach that eliminates the concept of implicit trust, operating on the principle: Never trust, always verify. It delivers zero trust architecture as a service from a resilient, cloud-native AI cybersecurity platform. Acting as an intelligent switchboard to enable Zero Trust Everywhere, it provides secure, any-to-any, zero trust communication that uses business policies, not networks, for all of your workforces, branches, and clouds. The platform, built upon the Zero Trust Architecture and AI foundation, provides five integrated solutions: Cyberthreat Protection, Data Security, Zero Trust Branch and Cloud, and Security Operations.

Looking to deliver faster issue resolutions or reduce troubleshooting times by 99.7%?

The Zero Trust Blueprint for Securing Workforces Everywhere

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an emergency directive regarding a security breach to F5. According to the directive, nation-state threat actors broke into F5 systems and stole sensitive data including source code and information about undisclosed vulnerabilities in their BIG-IP products.

This is the latest in a string of attacks on exposed IT and security infrastructure, and the breached data threatens to lead to future attacks on these tools. This trend underscores the need for a Zero Trust architecture that reduces the attack surface and enforces least-privilege access.

Join Zscaler leaders for a security webinar to:

1. Understand the scope of the F5 breach and ongoing threats
2. Know how to assess and remediate any exposure
3. Learn best practices for protecting your organization using zero trust

Zero Trust with AI-enabled Threat Detection

With over 50,000 ASA devices still sitting exposed globally– and growing threat actor interest – defenders must move quickly to understand the technical implications, attack surface, and remediation options.

Last year, the Ivanti VPN vulnerabilities showcased the damage exposed services and credential-based access can cause. This time, the risk is heightened. Cisco ASA is a multifunctional perimeter device, combining VPN, firewall, IPS, and routing. That expands the attack surface and potential blast radius.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an emergency directive, adding the ASA flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, now totaling 22 firewall and 34 VPN CVEs. This underscores the urgent need for swift, coordinated action and imperative to move beyond legacy infrastructure.

Join us for a technical deep dive to:

1. Unpack the latest threat intelligence
2. Understand why this zero-day presents elevated risk
3. Get actionable guidance on what to do in the next 48 hours, two weeks, and beyond

Learn how Zero Trust can contain and ultimately eliminate these risks by removing reliance on vulnerable perimeter technologies including firewalls and VPNs
