Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is a cloud-based, zero-trust solution designed to provide secure access to internal applications, particularly for remote users. This innovative program replaces traditional VPNs by enabling direct connections to authorized applications without exposing the underlying network. By utilizing Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles, ZPA ensures that users can only access specific applications they need, enhancing security and minimizing the risk of unauthorized access.

Key features of ZPA include secure application access, which keeps applications hidden from the internet, thus reducing the attack surface. The program also offers improved user experience with seamless access without manual VPN connections, cost savings compared to traditional VPNs, and scalability as a cloud service. Additionally, ZPA supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments and integrates with Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), delivering a comprehensive security solution for modern business needs.
