Preface

Almost everyone in today's modern world knows about the internet and its role in everyday life, from email to live video calls. But at the same time, we have seen the rise of bad actors misusing and abusing the same internet for malicious purposes.

It is in this context that we need a secure way to browse the internet, especially from an enterprise perspective. Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) is one such product that provides employees of the enterprise with a safe internet experience.

Many organizations have not yet embraced the concept of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). Most of them are still in a legacy security mindset. Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) provides ZTNA private application access to end users of the enterprise.
