Customer Case Study
Is your network ready for
application from the cloud?
Sebastian Grabski
2 Securing your cloud transformation
„Many companies look at „cloud first” without assessing
the network changes this entails. When we started to
adopt cloud-delivered applications, we had to
understand how our network architecture would be
impacted by the cloud . There’s a pretty significant
network transformation required”
Herve Coureil, Chief Digital Officer, Schneider Electric

11 Securing your cloud transformation
ZPA: Fast and secure access to private apps
Best approach for Web and non-Web apps in multi-cloud environments
A modern approach:
Remote users never brought
on the corporate network
App access with out network access
Native app segmentation
microtunnels that connect an
authenticated user to an name app
Apps are invisible
not exposed to the internet
Multi-Cloud: Public / Private
EmployeesPartners
Zscaler AppTraffic Forwarding: Browser
Internet Only Branch
How it works….
A user requests
access to an app

Policies determine if the
user has access to the app
2
If allowed, the cloud
establishes inside out
