Zscaler Extends CNAPP Capabilities with Integrated Data Loss Prevention and Threat Intelligence from the World’s Largest Security Cloud
Integration Provides Precise Understanding of Cloud Risk by Correlating
Sensitive Data Discovery and Security Signals Across an Array of Security
Products
Bengaluru, April 6, 2023 -- Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in
cloud security, today announced enhancements to Zscaler Posture Control™,
strengthening its cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP)
capabilities with data loss prevention (DLP) and ThreatLabz threat intelligence
powered by the world’s largest security cloud.
Integrating DLP and threat intelligence into Posture Control makes it
the only CNAPP that delivers an accurate cloud risk view by correlating risk
impact and likelihood using sensitive data discovery and security signals. Deep
insights into how incidents will occur, and the resulting data exposure, give DevOps
and security teams an unprecedented understanding of where to focus their
limited resources. For example, an internet-facing container with a critical
unpatched vulnerability represents a significant risk because attackers can
exploit it to gain access to personally identifiable information (PII). With
this new integration, organizations can reduce costs and resources while
staying agile and proactive in securing sensitive data and secrets in the
public cloud.
Research shows that 78% of organizations use more than 50 cybersecurity
products. Businesses were initially forced to either piece together point
tools, like CSPM, CIEM and vulnerability scanning, or rely on loosely
integrated solutions that required agent installation and did not correlate and
prioritize findings. Recent solutions shifted to a streamlined, agentless
deployment and introduced correlation, but the narrow focus on
misconfigurations and unpatched vulnerabilities was only a small piece of the
risk puzzle.
Zscaler Posture Control, combined with its data protection and threat
prevention capabilities, helps world-leading organizations more effectively
correlate and prioritize risk across their entire cloud estate, reducing the
time, effort and resources needed to piece together these risks.
Zscaler Posture Control is a CNAPP solution that helps organizations
build, deploy and run secure cloud applications. Launched in 2022, it presents
a unified approach to understanding, prioritizing and remediating security
risks in public cloud environments. With the seamless integration of Zscaler
DLP, security, IT and DevOps teams can understand whether sensitive data such
as PII, PHI and PCI are exposed as a result of cloud security weaknesses. These
new innovations mean organizations can now realize even greater benefits from
Zscaler Posture Control, including:
• Risk identification, correlation and prioritization: Integrated
DLP and threat intelligence identify attack paths and detect ongoing attacks by
automatically correlating misconfigurations or activities that seem low-risk
when viewed individually but can be great risks when viewed holistically.
• Efficiency at scale: An integrated graph-based correlation and
prioritization engine expedites remediation and reduces alert fatigue by
focusing on the risks that matter most.
• Point product consolidation: A single, easy-to-deploy agentless
platform eliminates point products by unifying CSPM, CIEM, CWPP and DLP,
continuously securing every stage of the application life cycle.
• Native, end-to-end platform without silos: Posture Control
reduces security and DevOps team silos with 360-degree, in-depth visibility of
risks across the entire multicloud footprint – including virtual machines
(VMs), containers and serverless workloads – from build to run.
“CNAPP platforms have started to gain wide popularity in recent years,
but they all suffer from the same weakness: they do not help organizations
understand sensitive data exposure,” said Willie Tejada, Senior Vice President
at Zscaler. “Zscaler Data Protection technologies offer a deep understanding of
sensitive data that we’ve built and developed over many years. By integrating
these technologies, Zscaler gives organizations a view of cloud risk that
security teams have never seen before.”
These enhancements will be made available by June 2023. For more
