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.

Cybercriminals capitalized on generative AI breakthroughs in 2023, driving a 58% spike in phishing compared to 2022. From AI-driven deepfakes and vishing to QR CAPTCHA scams, attackers are innovating rapidly. Is your organization ready to defend against the next wave of sophisticated phishing attacks?

Watch our on-demand webinar to learn about the latest phishing attack discoveries, trends, and predictions from the Zscaler ThreatLabz 2024 Phishing Report, derived from the analysis of 2 billion phishing transactions captured in the world’s largest security cloud. ThreatLabz experts will unpack key findings and offer guidance on how to safeguard against phishing threats.

Is Your VPN Secure? Key Findings from 2024 Risk Report Revealed

With more than 175 ZB of data moving to the cloud by 2025, it’s a no-brainer that cloud data should become a security team’s top priority. However, the cloud has proven to be complex and vulnerable, leaving cloud data at risk. That’s why we’ve seen the rise of data security posture management (DSPM) which enables organizations to effectively discover, classify, and secure data in the cloud. With any emerging technology, how do you separate what’s actually needed from the glitz and glamor?

Join our panel of security experts, including Robert Bolton, Sr. Product Manager, and Kalie Radsmikham, Sr. Director, Product Marketing as they guide you through the essentials of DSPM and why it needs to be part of your data protection strategy.

 This session will cover:

Top data security challenges and trends
5 must-haves when looking for a DSPM solution
How to kick-start your DSPM journey
Whether you're new to DSPM or looking to enhance your knowledge, this session provides valuable insights, best practices, and things to avoid when choosing a DSPM solution and the right implementation approach.

Why Does DSPM Belong In Your Data Protection Strategy?

No data protection program is complete without CASB and DLP. While these technologies can help to restore control, there are still challenges that need solving.

Join this discussion to hear game-changing concepts around data protection, such as:

The best architecture for delivering CASB, DLP, and data protection
New browser isolation innovations that can enable easy, risk-free BYOD access

There’s more to securing your business than firewalls and VPNs. We live in a day when digital transformation is critical, and moving business to the cloud is both our present and our future. In the midst of this sea of change, it’s difficult to navigate through all the architecture complexities and industry jargon—particularly when it comes to diluted and misappropriated terms like zero trust.

So, let’s keep it simple! Watch this on-demand webinar to learn the basics of zero trust, including:

What exactly does zero trust mean? Does it really mean we trust nothing?
How is zero trust a superior architecture compared to traditional, perimeter-based security?
What does a journey from perimeter-based security to zero trust typically look like?

The way we work has changed. Your apps are no longer in your data centers and your users are no longer in the office. Traditional WAN architectures, with their castle-and-moat approach, introduce unnecessary latency, create performance bottlenecks, and impair digital experience for your users. At the same time, as users have moved off the corporate network, IoT and OT devices are proliferating. These devices have different requirements, and introduce new security challenges. Branch networking needs to evolve to meet these changing needs.

Join this webinar to learn how infrastructure teams can transform their branch network, reduce cost and complexity, and improve security all at the same time using Zero Trust Branch Connectivity and the SASE framework. This live session will help you:
• Understand the requirements for a cafe-like branch experience
• Dive into how legacy WAN architectures leave security gaps and create performance bottlenecks
• Learn how zero trust principles and the SASE framework can help modernize your branch connectivity and security

Modernizing Branch Connectivity with Zero Trust

Interested in extending the Zscaler platform to secure your workloads in the public cloud? Looking for best practices? Where do you start and what do you implement to enable zero trust? VMs, Serverless, VDI, Containers—struggling to secure their ingress and egress traffic? How can you transition your cloud security to a modern architecture that is based on least-privileged access? 

Zero trust presents an opportunity for IT organizations to resist the temptations to extend their WAN architecture that is used on-premises to the cloud. Existing firewall- and VPN-based approaches put enormous responsibility on IT teams to configure policies and enforce remediations locally at each trust zone. This approach creates routable networks a panacea for firewall bloat and untenable policy management. 

Join this webinar with product and technical experts from Zscaler, the industry leader in zero trust, as they discuss how you can implement zero trust in five simple steps. Topics will include product demonstrations and best practices to: 
• Implement advanced threat prevention using Zscaler zero trust 
• Enable proxy-based SSL decryption for all workloads
• Activate data protection for cloud 
• Configure workload segmentation between different public clouds based on policy profiles 
• Enable log streaming from the public cloud to your SIEM for compliance & regulatory and SecOps requirements

How to Extend the Zscaler Platform to Secure Workloads in a Public Cloud

Industry analysts have determined that the next-generation zero trust network access (ZTNA) framework is the most effective and efficient method for keeping hybrid employees safe from attackers, preventing data loss, and delivering an unhampered user experience.

This is great news for security practitioners, but the question remains—how can you help your organization turn this proven concept into a reality?

Join Mike Ruiz, Consulting Engineer at Zscaler, as he explains how next-gen ZTNA creates a more secure hybrid work ecosystem. He will also detail the robust capabilities of Zscaler Private Access (ZPA), a next-gen ZTNA platform that is part of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange.

7 Secrets of Success to Achieve Universal Zero Trust Network Access

New Zero Trust Innovations to Radically Simplify Public Cloud Workload Security

Your legacy firewall and VPN can’t handle long trips. They’re always dropping things—and worst, they make you feel so insecure. If that sounds familiar… it might be time to break up.
Legacy appliances and tools are set in their ways. They try to control access to critical apps like SAP, AWS, ADP, and others with static network-layer policies and rules based on IPs addresses and TCP port values. But the way you work has changed. You’ve changed. You want the freedom to securely access apps from anywhere, on any device, without being tied down to the network.

Ending it with your legacy firewalls and VPNs can give you a fresh start. Join Linda Park and Emily Laufer for a practical, candid webinar all about you, your legacy appliances, and the technology network administrators can adopt to get back the remote access spark you deserve.

Breaking up isn’t always easy, but we’re here to help. Secure your spot and learn:
• How VPNs expose your apps and data to the internet
• How implicit trust from legacy firewalls grants attackers unrestricted access
• Why network-centric solutions are slow and expensive to maintain
