With this update, Zscaler’s Digital Experience solution supports remote packet capture for complex network troubleshooting, at times when the user device is not on the corporate network. The platform additionally supports deep tracing and adaptive traceroute visibility into applications protected by ZPA with web caching. This approach reduces the load on applications without impacting the process of monitoring.

Zscaler is benefiting from the rising demand for cyber-security solutions due to the slew of data breaches in the ongoing online and remote work wave across the globe. In March, the company integrated its cloud native application protection platform, Zscaler Posture Control, with data loss prevention (DLP) and ThreatLabz threat intelligence solution. It will deliver an accurate understanding of cloud risk by correlating risk impact and likelihood utilizing sensitive data discovery and security signals across multiple security products.

In December, the company joined the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC), established by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, to enhance the collective cybersecurity posture of the United States and strategic international partners.

Being a JCDC member, Zscaler’s ThreatLabz actively tracks various threat actor groups behind the scenes keeping up with the tools, techniques and procedures, as well as command and control infrastructure, to develop effective countermeasures. This enables JCDC and its partners to increase situational awareness and understanding of cyber defense against some of the most advanced global threats.

In October, Zscaler revealed innovations to accelerate enterprise data protection programs from months to hours with zero configuration for DLP. With the enterprise DLP solution natively integrated into the Zscaler ZTE, a complete security service edge is made available to the security teams, which provides equal protection irrespective of users and data locations.
