Organization’s users and apps were all once on-premises, giving rise to castle-and-moat security via costly appliances that made network perimeters to protect data therein. With cloud, the web, and remote work, the castle has vanished—but many still rely on castle-and-moat architectures. Unfortunately, complex stacks of appliances can’t address modern data protection needs, and backhauling traffic breeds poor performance, limits scalability, and hinders user productivity.

Many modern data protection tools also fall short—specifically, when they focus on insider threats and neglect external threats to data. In other words, proper data protection must be complete with strong security.

Security service edge (SSE) is the solution to these challenges. It refers to complete platforms that reduce complexity and fill modern data protection gaps by integrating CASB, SWG, ZTNA, and more. Through cloud-delivered security at the edge, SSE offers maximum performance, scalability, and user experience. 

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange ™ is the world’s largest security cloud and was designed to secure any transaction long before the inception of SSE. It stops all insider and outsider risks to data. 

Read on to learn the data protection use cases that customers leverage our SSE to address.
