The document discusses the increasing adoption of public cloud services and the need for secure access models, highlighting the role of Software-Defined Perimeters (SDPs) in achieving zero trust security. It emphasizes that modern organizations are transitioning away from traditional VPNs to SDPs for improved security, visibility, and application segmentation. Real-world use cases showcase the effectiveness of Zscaler's SDP solutions in enhancing security and simplifying access for remote users across various industries.

Application access must change
• Extra burden for users
• Costly and complex networks
• Insecure against modern threats
• Lack of granular visibility into network traffic

Top Enterprise SDP Use Cases
• VPN replacement
• Third-party access
• Privileged account management
• Cloud application access
• Application discovery

15. 14
SDPs are key to achieving a zero trust security model
• Never automatically trust any user or network
• Reduce the attack surface by reducing # of users able to access an application
• Provide access on a strict “need to know” basis
• Verify before granting any level of access to an application
• Create a segment of one between a named user and a named application

The 4 security tenets in action
Data Center
EMPLOYEESPARTNERS
Remote users are never
placed on-net
• Application access,
not network access
1
Applications are invisible
to unauthorized users
• Users can’t access
what they can’t see
• Outbound
connections only
2
App segmentation not
network segmentation
• Define which users
access which apps
3
The internet is the new
secure network
• Double-tunneling for
secure access

Use Case:
• VPN retirement
• Secure cloud adoption
• Zero-trust adoption
The challenge
Benefits of SDP
• MAN Energy Solutions was undertaking a
massive cloud (AWS) adoption, and needed a
better way to provide remote access to internal
applications.
• Needed more visibility into their network and to
ensure true zero trust access to their internal
applications
• ZPA secures access for over 5,000 MAN ES employees.
Enabled zero trust security through application
segmentation and enforcing granular policies via the
Zscaler Security Cloud.
• Users and devices are never allowed on the network,
which increases security and decreasing risk. Creating a
Zero-trust network.

User Count: 21,000 employees
Zscaler Products: ZPA, ZIA
Use Case:
• VPN retirement
• Secure partner access
The challenge
Benefits of Zscaler Platform
• Was having issues with their legacy VPN solution. Wanted a
remote access solution that provided reliable and secure
access to SAP
• Leveraging Google Chromebooks and VPN services lack
compatibility with these devices. In future will need a
security service for secure partner access to internal apps
• Needed a solution that supported a spectrum of different
operating systems for employees and partners.
• Provides a reliable solution for remote users to gain access to internal
applications, all while enabling a zero-trust model by never placing users
on the network.
• Google Chromebooks have policy-based access to SAP and other
sensitive internal applications
• Uses ZPA’s browser access feature which requires no client on the
endpoint device
• Avoid lock-in
