Zscaler Channel Partners Get Their Market Advantage Q. Why should organizations focus on zero trust security compared to other offerings? A. First, it’s important to realize that zero trust is being misused by many as a marketing term. Vendors are applying the term “zero trust” to market everything in security, creating significant marketing confusion. Firewalls protect only the perimeter of a network, leaving organizations vulnerable to cyber threats in today’s cloud and mobile-first world. SD-WAN provides visibility and control over network traffic, but it does not provide comprehensive security. Zero trust security, on the other hand, assumes all network traffic is potentially malicious and requires verification before granting access. This proactive approach helps organizations better protect against cyber threats. Zscaler is the only cybersecurity vendor that offers a true zero trust platform born in the cloud and designed for cloud organizations. Q. How does Zscaler’s leadership in zero trust security factor into the channel in the coming months? A. Zscaler started in 2007 with an idea: transform cloud security in ways we never thought possible. Sixteen years later, with numerous industry firsts, notable technology triumphs and significant company milestones, Zscaler’s leadership in zero trust security is unparalleled in the industry, giving our channel partners a significant advantage in the coming months.

Q. What does receiving the CRN Tech Innovator recognition mean for Zscaler partners? A.
