Zscaler is committed to helping our customers maximize security and user experience with minimal cost and complexity. We are constantly working to improve our platform to further deliver on this brand promise – and a series of powerful new advancements to Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) that have launched this Spring do just that. These innovations enhance ZIA’s revolutionary approach to delivering robust security at scale while enabling enterprises to achieve greater performance, simplified management, and deeper cross-functional collaboration.Unifying SecOps and NetOps for Better Collaboration In most enterprises, there is an inherent friction between networking and security teams due to their conflicting goals of productivity and security. Zscaler has long helped organizations bridge this gap with tools that reduce this friction, including a cloud-native, single-scan-multi-action architecture that enables full SSL inspection and deep security analysis without performance degradation; our zero trust browser that lets users safely access suspicious files and web content; and centralized management and visibility shared across IT and security teams.Five of our latest innovations further strengthen collaboration between networking and security teams with new levels of shared visibility and accountability:Full-packet visibility and NDR integrations: You can now take forensically complete packet captures every time a policy hits and send this information straight to your SOC. Robust integrations with top NDR and SIEM tools enable precise threat detection while improving incident response workflows for SecOps and NetOps alike.Endpoint-level application visibility: In addition to our deep integrations with top endpoint security providers, the Zscaler agent alone can now provide insights into endpoint applications, including MD5 hashes, to drill down into potential threats quickly.Cloud custom IPS policies and granular DNS/firewall logging: SecOps teams can quickly deploy tailored threat signatures using Cloud Custom IPS to detect and stop targeted attacks, while NetOps teams maintain visibility into how these controls impact traffic and performance. Granular DNS/Firewall logging gives SOC teams deep context across web and non-web traffic, helping identify threats like command-and-control, data exfiltration, lateral movement for faster investigation and response.Customizable HTTP Headers: Admins can now adjust HTTP headers to include additional context and metadata that can be used for better tracking and security purposes.Advanced Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC): Network and security teams can now ensure that each member has right-sized permissions to control and view critical functions within the Zscaler platform to prevent conflicts and improve governance.By enabling cross-team collaboration, ZIA delivers improved operational efficiency while maintaining zero-trust standards for a more secure enterprise. Achieve Total Content and Data Sovereignty While Improving Control and PerformanceWhen users access the internet through Zscaler, their individual device IP addresses are hidden. Instead, requests are routed through shared Zscaler public IP addresses. This setup provides anonymity and prevents websites, advertisers, trackers, and potentially malicious entities from directly identifying users based on their true IP addresses.However, there are corner cases where this has undesired effects. Certain applications and websites will only accept certain IP ranges, causing access issues. Further, in rare cases, users routed through a datacenter in another country might receive geolocalized content in the wrong language due to the associated geography of the public IP address.Zscaler has solved these issues with new capabilities that provide complete control over IP addresses for egress traffic. This enables IT teams to enforce compliance, control content, and optimize user productivity:Zscaler- or Customer-Managed Dedicated IP: Administrators can choose when to use a public IP or a dedicated IP address to provide secure, seamless access to IP-controlled applications and websites. IT can manage connections to restricted resources with precision and ease.Industry-leading granular control over geolocalized content: Organizations can tailor content and language delivery to specific users or regions with unprecedented granularity—ensuring employees are more productive while retaining IT oversight.In-country data logging: Many countries and industries have data residency requirements. Zscaler now offers options for data residency to satisfy the need for data sovereignty.This capability suite gives IT leaders enhanced control over regulatory compliance, content workflows, and operational optimization, making ZIA a critical enabler of secure cloud-first strategies.Embrace AI For Better Productivity and SecurityZscaler thinks about AI from a number of angles: from protecting customers from bad actors leveraging AI, to helping enterprises safely embrace it, and leveraging AI inside our platform to deliver better security outcomes.All three of these areas are heavy areas of innovation across the Zscaler platform, which we will cover in-depth at our upcoming Zenith Live conferences in Las Vegas and Prague. Our latest capabilities within ZIA enable safer use of popular AI tools:WebSockets inspection for AI applications: Inspect and control generative AI traffic within tools like Microsoft Copilot, both in applications and on the web. Along with our DLP capabilities that control sensitive data in these applications, WebSockets inspection can block prompts that would result in policy violations. This allows users to safely benefit from generative AI while ensuring compliance with privacy and security regulations.With integrated protections for AI-powered tools, ZIA enables enterprises to responsibly embrace new technologies, driving innovation while maintaining security confidence.Protect Developer Workflows Without Slowing InnovationModern innovation demands constant iteration, speed, and scale. To secure this rapid pace of development, ZIA introduces features to secure developer workflows without slowing them down:Automated deployment of SSL/TLS inspection for 30+ developer tools: Many developer tools require custom certificates in order to enable SSL inspection. These certificates and policies can now be automated with Zscaler, enabling fast and seamless deployment of inspection of top developer platforms like GitHub, Docker, and Curl.Sandboxing for developer scripts: Zscaler has built libraries in our sandbox for popular developer languages including Python and JavaScript. When these files are downloaded, they can be isolated and rapidly inspected to ensure that they are free of malicious content.These capabilities combine advanced security with scalability, helping enterprises maintain agility and securely drive innovation.The Zscaler Internet Access platform already sets the standard for delivering world-class security, processing over 500 billion daily transactions, blocking more than 9 billion threats per day, and providing unmatched reliability and performance. The newest enhancements build on this legacy by removing operational complexities, speeding security outcomes, and enabling technologies such as AI—all while maintaining precision and compliance for enterprises.Please join us on April 24th as we discuss all of these features and what they mean for your organization. Save your spot!
