Back in the day when your users were all on the network and your applications resided in your physical data center, it made sense to establish a secure perimeter around your network. But those days are over, the perimeter is gone, and network security is all but irrelevant.

Instead, you need to put your defenses and controls where the connections occur— the internet — so that every connection is fast and secure, no matter how or where users connect or where their applications reside.

By moving applications and infrastructure to the cloud and untethering employees from their desks, you can realize tremendous advantages in productivity, agility, and cost containment. With our 100% cloud built secure platform, Zscaler can help you make the move to the cloud, securely.

Third-party vendors, contractors, and remote IT staff require deep, privileged access to your systems—but every remote connection presents a potential breach point. Legacy solutions like VPNs and jump servers often grant excessive trust and fail to prevent lateral movement, data theft or malware injection, leaving your environment exposed and your data at risk.

Watch our webinar to discover how Zscaler Privileged Remote Access (PRA) delivers a modern Remote Privileged Access Management (RPAM) solution. Built on zero trust, PRA enables secure, agentless, browser-based privileged access without VPNs—offering granular governance controls and full isolation for every remote session.

We will cover:

1. Why VPN-based privileged access leaves your organization exposed
2. How zero trust + RPAM secures remote access for external users and third parties
3. Methods for eliminating unmanaged device risk with agentless connectivity
4. Real-world insights from enterprises enhancing security and resilience

Beyond VPNs — Secure Remote PAM for Third-Party Access

Newfound Productivity from a New Approach to Secure Browsing

Whether you’re responsible for IT strategy, network operations, or organizational cybersecurity, this session delivers critical insights to fortify security while fostering growth and innovation in the digital workforce era.

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

From Exploit to Exposure: Cisco ASA Zero-Day Vulnerabilities

Thanks to the era of AI, the Data Security market is at a critical inflection point. As organizations adopt AI to drive productivity and innovation, cloud service providers (CSPs) are accelerating this transformation with offerings like Amazon Bedrock, Azure AI Services, and Google Vertex AI.
While CSPs secure their platforms, individual organizations remain accountable for securing their AI models and associated resources. Managing and securing these AI models—often handling highly sensitive data—presents significant challenges and regulatory considerations for security leaders.

Watch us for an exclusive unveiling tailored specifically for cloud, AI, and data security experts. This webinar will introduce cutting-edge innovations designed to address AI-specific security vulnerabilities, mitigate data risks, and ensure cloud compliance with today’s rigorous regulations—all through AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM).

Launching Zscaler AI-SPM to Protect Data and AI in the Cloud

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot are transforming worker productivity—but they’re also introducing significant risks to sensitive company data. As business leaders rapidly adopt these powerful technologies, safeguarding their organizations against emerging threats is critical.

Traditional data security solutions aren't enough to keep pace.

Master GenAI Risks with a Unified Data Security Strategy

Maintaining a strong data security posture is a top priority for security leaders. Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a wide range of security controls and best practices, but organizations share responsibility for the security and compliance of sensitive data, addressing the significant risks posed by misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and targeted attacks.
