Zero Trust Exchange — SASE

Leaving the « trusted internal network » model behind: the user reaches an application, never a network.

Zscaler
  • Application
    not network, as the unit of access
  • TLS
    inspected at scale
  • No concentrator
    no more VPN to keep alive

The reasoning

The historic model assumes a safe inside and a hostile outside, separated by a firewall. Remote work and cloud dissolved that boundary: the user is outside, and so is the application. Hauling all traffic back to head office to inspect it is expensive and degrades the experience. The SASE architecture moves the control as close to the user as possible.

The components

  • Secure internet access

    Web filtering, TLS inspection, sandboxing and data loss prevention applied to outbound traffic, wherever the user is.

  • Zero Trust private access

    A VPN replacement. The user is connected to one specific application after verification, and never receives an address on the internal network. A compromised endpoint therefore cannot sweep the network.

  • Cloud access broker

    Visibility and control over the SaaS services in use, including those IT never approved — which today includes generative assistants.

  • Digital experience

    End-to-end measurement of the network path. Without it, every slowdown is blamed on security without evidence, and adoption collapses.

The sensitive point of the project

TLS inspection is what makes the control possible, and it is also what breaks badly built applications and raises legitimate questions about employee privacy. A successful rollout deals with that at the start, with staff representatives and an explicit exclusion list — not at the first incident.
