Cloud security provider Zscaler is launching what it says are three industry-first zero trust network access innovations designed to replace legacy firewalls and VPNs delivered as part of the company’s Zero Trust Exchange.

According to the company, the offerings — private app protection, integrated deception and privileged remote access for industrial IoT and OT systems — establish a new standard for zero trust network access (ZTNA) to minimize attack surface and prevent lateral movement.

The company bills these new offerings as a solution to organizations moving critical applications to the cloud, no longer protected inside the secure perimeter of a corporate network.

The offerings advance Zscaler’s security service edge (SSE) framework and strengthen the company’s cloud security platform to help solve modern business and security requirements via a holistic zero trust architecture to replace legacy VPNs and give employees advanced remote access solutions, the company says.

The company is now offering private app protection that leverages over a decade of inline inspection expertise in securing internet traffic and SaaS apps. The platform now offers new preventive and proactive security controls to stop compromised users and adversaries from exploiting vulnerable applications and services.

Another new solution is integrated deception, which the company calls an industry-first offering that evolves lateral movement detection or advanced attacks with built-in private app decoys. This enables the platform to reduce alert fatigue with high-confidence alerts generated by decoys that instantly identify and contain compromised user and insider threats within the company’s platforms.

Lastly, Zscaler is also launching privileged remote access for industrial IoT and OT systems, a new offering that builds on the company’s existing browser-based capabilities and enhances it with RDP and SSH support from unmanaged devices and private apps. This is designed to enable secure, direct remote access for third-party users.

These new capabilities are available now for customers as part of Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) or as a standalone purchase, depending on the ZPA Edition they are likened for.

In a statement, Tony Paterra, senior vice president of emerging products at Zscaler, said the increase in cyberattacks and data breaches, coupled with the ongoing shift to the cloud, are necessitating a zero trust architecture.

“Our next-gen ZTNA approach is the simplest, most comprehensive approach to securely access private applications and transform legacy network security to minimize the attack surface and shutdown the most advanced attacks,” Paterra said
