Zscaler achieves AWS Security Competency Status

Zscaler has announced that Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is the first zero trust architecture to achieve Amazon Web Service (AWS) Security Competency status.

The ZPA zero trust architecture securely connects authorized users and devices to be named, internally managed applications without exposing the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to the internet. With ZPA, applications connect to users via inside-out connections, making them invisible to unauthorized users and reducing the risk of internet-based attacks. Enterprises using ZPA can create micro-segmented architectures without virtualizing the security stack and creating complex firewall policies.

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify Consulting and Technology Partners in the Amazon Partner Network (APN) with deep industry experience and expertise.

Punit Minocha, Senior Vice-President _ Corporate and Business Development, Zscaler, says, “ZPA enables customers to not only secure application access, but also to transform their network architecture in order to achieve strategic improvements in their security posture with their apps that have migrated to cloud services, such as AWS. We’re excited to have achieved AWS Security Competency status, as it provides our customers and partners with additional confidence in the solution and in our ability to deliver secure connectivity for AWS customers.”
