Control plane

Zscaler Central Authority (CA) monitors our entire security cloud and provides a central location for software and database updates, policy and configuration settings and threat intelligence. The collection of CA instances together act like the brain of the cloud, and they are geographically distributed for redundancy and performance.

Data plane

Customer traffic gets directed to the nearest Zscaler Enforcement Node (ZEN), where security, management and compliance policies are enforced. Our differentiated authentication and policy distribution mechanism that enables any user to connect to any ZEN at any time to ensure full policy enforcement. ZEN utilizes a full proxy architecture for in-line traffic inspection and is built to ensure data is not written to disk to maintain the highest level of data security. Logs are continuously created in memory and forwarded to our logging module.

Log Plane

Compressed logs are transmitted to our Nanolog Servers over secure connections and multicast to multiple servers for redundancy. Our dashboards provide visibility into our customer’s traffic to enable troubleshooting, policy changes and other administrative actions. Our analytics capabilities allow customers to interactively mine billions of transaction logs to generate reports that provide insight on network utilization and traffic. Regardless of where users are located, customers can choose to have logs stored in the US, the EU or Switzerland as well as streamed to a third-party SIEM.

Platform Extensibility with SSMA

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange employs a single-scan, multi-action (SSMA) architecture to minimize latency, improve user experience, and enable an integrated, extensible platform.

Single-Scan

Traffic is entered into memory only once

Multi-Action

Multiple security engines simultaneously inspect the packet

Extensibility

New inspection engines can be added over time, without impacting performance

Single Scan Multi-Action Flow
SSL Inspection

SSL/TLS Inspection at Scale
with Proxy Architecture

Zscaler has invested heavily into building a ‘proxy' based architecture that deeply inspects network traffic at an enormous scale, including SSL/TLS encrypted traffic. Think about it like a postal service.
