Zscaler
Overview
The world of IT security is changing radically. Traditional threats such as viruses, spyware and botnets are becoming more sophisticated. Web 2.0 is opening a whole new source of attack vectors. Schools are faced with having to defend themselves against these attacks, while also having to find ways to reduce IT cost, boost productivity and simplify their networks.
iSNet URL filtering, powered by Zscaler, provides policy-based secure internet access for any student or employee, on any device, anywhere. Through pioneering innovations in its massively scalable cloud architecture, the Zscaler Security Cloud provides an ultra-low latency SaaS security solution that requires neither hardware nor software.
Utilising unique technologies like NanoLog, PageRisk, ByteScan and a true multi-tenant architecture, Zscaler’s comprehensive cloud service offers anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam, URL filtering, Web 2.0 control, bandwidth control, mail flow control, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP). Large and small schools can take advantage of the cloud to secure their users at much lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than traditional solutions.
iSNet has deployed the Zscaler Web Filtering Suite to complement its range of hosted protection and security services. Zscaler offers iSNet customers secure, granular control and detailed reporting of their internet traffic.
Secure Users
Organisations are able to effectively secure their users against today’s dynamic email and web threats with iSNet services. Browser control and dynamic inspection of content is necessary to protect against more complex threats.
Protect Data
Users may accidentally or maliciously leak sensitive corporate data using a number of methods including email, webmail, social networks, blogs, or instant messaging. Zscaler can prevent organizations from incurring liabilities due to data loss by scanning all outbound traffic against predefined engines.
Centralise Policy and Reporting
Traditional log consolidation from multiple locations and correlation of data is cumbersome. Zscaler’s centralized policy and reporting simplifies administration and reduces IT operational costs for organizations.
Zscaler Infrastructure
Zscaler’s fundamental innovation is in functionally distributing components of a standard proxy to create a giant global network that acts as a single virtual proxy so that any user can go to any gateway at any time for policy-based, secure internet access. Zscaler infrastructure comprises three key components; Zscaler Enforcement Nodes (ZEN), Central Authority (CA) and Nanolog™ (Transaction Log) Servers.
Forwarding Traffic to Zscaler
Zscaler is unique in its Security-as-a-Service offering by allowing administrators to enforce user level policies without requiring any software or hardware deployment. It supports a diverse set of traffic forwarding mechanisms that include GRE tunnels, firewall port forwarding, proxy chaining, or PAC files.
