Zscaler Private Access (ZPA)
The Cloud-First, Zero Trust Security Platform.
Overview
Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is a cloud-native Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution that provides secure access to private applications running in the data center or public cloud. Unlike traditional VPNs that grant broad network access, ZPA creates secure, user- and application-specific connections. Device trust is a key component, as ZPA can assess the security posture of a device before granting access, ensuring that only compliant and healthy devices can connect to private applications.
