Interoperability between Zscaler and Microsoft Cloud App Security
solutions enable secure and seamless adoption of SaaS services for
enterprise customers
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 26, 2018--
Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, today
announced at the Zenith Live user conference in Las Vegas the first
closed-loop integration with Microsoft Cloud App Security. The Zscaler™
platform-Microsoft Cloud App Security integration feature set delivers
the security of the Zscaler security cloud coupled with the
functionality of the Microsoft Cloud App Security solution, providing a
streamlined service that allows enterprises to securely embrace the
cloud.
Customers typically utilize cloud access security brokerage (CASB)
functionality for a range of use cases, such as identifying and blocking
restricted applications, gaining granular visibility, assessing
application risk scores, applying controls, implementing data leakage
prevention (DLP), and threat protection for permitted applications.
Zscaler’s inline CASB functionality protects all users on and off the
network, providing visibility, risk scoring, control, DLP, and threat
protection for all traffic coming and going. Zscaler has partnered with
Microsoft to integrate with cloud application security discovery
capabilities, sharing risk assessment and log data to assist customers
control access to sanctioned applications including field level
controls, unauthorized third-party file sharing, user behavioral
analysis and configuration audits.
With this new Zscaler closed-loop integration, joint customers can now
leverage the power of Microsoft Cloud App Security within Microsoft
Enterprise Mobility + Security and the Zscaler platform to discover and
control cloud applications regardless of location or connection. The new
integration helps customers perform comprehensive risk assessments of
all their cloud services, enforce application control policies, and
define risk profiles around key initiatives like GDPR compliance and
data protection.
“With the rapid migration of apps from the data center to the cloud and
users connecting from everywhere, the notion of securing the traditional
corporate network is becoming increasingly irrelevant,” said Punit
Minocha, Zscaler Senior Vice President of Business and Corporate
Development. “The Zscaler security platform’s integration with Microsoft
Cloud App Security automates discoverability and policy enforcement,
thus saving time and resources while providing improved security.”
Microsoft Cloud App Security is a comprehensive, cloud-delivered CASB
built for IT and security teams to help gain deeper visibility, stronger
controls, and enhanced protection for cloud apps. The solution provides
a set of capabilities to help companies design and enforce a process for
securing cloud usage, from discovery and investigation capabilities, to
granular control and protection. Microsoft Cloud App Security is easy to
deploy and provides rich tutorials for unlocking advanced capabilities.
“The Microsoft Cloud App Security integration with the Zscaler security
platform is the type of interoperability solution needed to help
customers discover and control cloud applications as they are introduced
to the enterprise,” said Adam Hall, Director of Security Product
Marketing at Microsoft. “Because anyone can sign up and start using new
apps in the cloud very quickly, it’s essential for companies to be able
to enforce policies in real time to maintain security.”
Microsoft Cloud App Security is available as part of Microsoft
Enterprise Mobility + Security E5 or as a standalone service.
