Zscaler SASE Primary Use Case

Thomas Pane - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant at Clear-Pane

Most people use Zscaler SASE as a replacement for VPNs. You know, with a VPN, once you establish connectivity to the network, you have unrestricted access. But with Zscaler SASE, you have strict access control. You don't get any access unless you adhere to the policies set in Zscaler. 

So, you can control who has access to specific applications at a URL level rather than granting access at the physical IP level. That's what most people appreciate about it. IPs provide access to everything on the machine, whereas Zscaler SASE provides access to specific services within the network.

We manage multiple customers using ZIA and ZPA to access internal resources and secure their own web applications. It acts like a VPN access connectivity, and ZIA is used as an internet gateway for users.

The primary use case of SASE is for secure access, whether for public internet or private applications. Post-Covid, users are connecting from everywhere and need secure access with a good user experience. We deploy this solution to our customers.

The main purpose was to use it as a zero-trust solution. Or also to have control over the inbound and outbound traffic coming and going through the end user's device.

As IT integrators, we are using the solution for application control, URL filtering, sandboxing, and antivirus. We have modules with data leak prevention and cloud browser isolation, device posture checking, related to the access because we are also using it for the ZTNA services, but it's not related to the Secure Web Gateway. We are also using it in ZIA with a firewall as a service.

Our role is as consultant, architectural, and pre-sales.

Rather than purchasing new VPNs and other architecture, our clients use Zscaler SASE to allow their workers to work from home due to COVID.
