Kill the VPN. Connect users to apps, not the network.

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) brokers direct, one-to-one connections between authorized users and specific private applications. Users never access the corporate network—apps are never exposed to the internet. ZPA's AI-powered app segmentation and context-aware policies automatically discover applications, recommend segments, and enforce least-privilege access—dramatically reducing your clients' attack surface and preventing lateral movement.

Key Capabilities

What's included in this SKU

App-Never-Exposed Architecture

Apps sit behind ZPA with no inbound internet connections. They're completely dark to attackers—invisible and unexploitable from the outside.

Identity-Based Access

Access is granted per user identity, device posture, and context—not by network location. Works with any IdP via SAML and SCIM.

AI-Powered App Segmentation

Automatically discover private applications and receive AI-generated recommendations for app segments and least-privilege access policies.

Workload-to-Workload Segmentation

Secure cloud workload communications across hybrid and multi-cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and GCP without network exposure.

AppProtection

Full inline Layer 7 inspection of private app traffic, protecting against web attacks, SQL injection, API abuse, and identity-based threats.

Private Service Edge

Bring ZTNA on-premises for users who need low-latency, direct access to private apps in the data center without cloud round-trips.

Advanced Threat Protection

Always-on ransomware protection, zero-day threat prevention, and unknown malware detection for all private application traffic.

Third-Party & Contractor Access

Enable zero trust access for vendors and contractors without installing agents, using browser-based access for clientless connectivity.

Browser Access

Provide seamless, infrastructure-agnostic access to internal web apps through a browser—no client required for supported apps.

Business Continuity

Ensure uninterrupted, policy-enforced access to mission-critical applications during connectivity outages and network disruptions.

Inline Data Loss Prevention

Prevent data loss across private app traffic with full inline DLP inspection, including file scanning and sensitive data detection.

Deception & Active Defense

Deploy decoy applications and assets to detect lateral movement and insider threats attempting to access unauthorized resources.
