In a separate announcement, Zscaler also announced a new technology partner program with more than
20 partners that have integrated their security offerings with the Zscaler Internet security platform to
deliver unmatched value and protection to organizations seeking the most comprehensive Internet
security.

Zscaler Fall 2014 is being released at a time when cyber-security has become a board-level discussion.
Global security incidents have increased by 48 percent since 20131, demonstrating that existing hardware
appliance-based approaches to security are not providing effective protection. With a new major brand in
the news grappling with a high-profile security breach almost every week, a new approach to cybersecurity
is clearly needed.

Zscaler Fall 2014 is designed to protect organizations from today’s cyber-threat landscape. Malicious
actors now include not only teenage hackers, but also criminal gangs and nation-states. Cyber-criminals
are smart and sophisticated—focusing their attacks on end-users, hiding behind encryption, developing
advanced threats and taking full advantage of the shift to cloud computing, the ubiquity of mobile devices
and the Internet of Things.
As a fully integrated, carrier-grade, cloud-based Internet security platform, Zscaler Fall 2014 delivers
robust Internet security, Advanced Persistent Threat protection, data loss prevention, SSL decryption,
traffic shaping, policy management, security assessment and threat intelligence—all without the need for
on-premise hardware, appliances or software.

Zscaler F all 2014 Highlights

Zscaler Fall 2014 includes major new capabilities for Advanced Persistent Threat protection, guest Wifi
security, next generation global administration and reporting, instant security risk assessment and more
than 100 additional new features and upgrades.
Integrated Advanced Persistent Threat Protection
The new Zscaler Advanced Persistent Threat Protection is a complete, cloud-based solution for protecting
from, detecting and remediating zero-day and advanced threats.
Appliance-based solutions for APT protection are generally deployed in tap mode and as such can only
detect and alert about threats. Zscaler APT Protection is always deployed in-line and as such can always
block threats and stop infections from happening. Zscaler APT Protection includes automatic Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) decryption, so it can inspect encrypted traffic, and incorporates multiple layers of
security for defense in depth including automated behavioral analysis, sandboxing, detonation, forensics
and analysis of suspected zero-day and advanced threats.

Zscaler APT Protection includes two unique features to provide unmatched security. Automatic
quarantine of suspicious files ensures that even the first person in the world that attempts to download a
new zero-day threat remains safe from infection. Real-time cloud-wide updates ensure that the instant any
new zero-day attack or APT is identified as malicious, all twelve million Zscaler users are immediately
protected. This level of protection is literally thousands of times better than that provided by appliancebased
approaches to advanced Internet security.

Zscaler APT Protection also excels at detecting infections and identifying and blocking botnet command
and control traffic as well as attempt to exfiltrate information. For example, Zscaler can automatically
identify compromised point of sale devices and block them from transmitting credit card numbers to
cyber-criminals and can identify personal computers that are infected by botnets and stop the transmission
of customer information outside of the organization.

A cloud-based platform requiring no on-premise hardware or software, Zscaler APT Protection is
uniquely designed to protect the entire global enterprise—including headquarters, branch offices, remote
locations, mobile users, smart phone and tablets and even Internet-connected “things.” Zscaler APT
Protection represents a breakthrough in security against zero-day and advanced threats and is vastly easier
to manage than stacks of security appliances with much lower total cost of ownership.

Guest Wifi Protection

For many industries, providing guest Wifi access has become a cost of doing business. But guest Wifi
also introduces real risk—from legal and compliance risk arising from guests accessing pornography or
downloading copyrighted movies to reputational risk from guest devices becoming infected with malware
or exposed to cyber-threats.

Zscaler Guest Wifi Protection is a new, easy to deploy, low-cost system for managing and securing guest
Wifi. Designed for deployments from individual hotspots to tens of thousands of worldwide locations,
Zscaler Guest Wifi Protection includes easy to use web-based tools for global administration, policy
management, reporting and analytics. A simple change to DNS settings on existing access points
seamlessly routes guest Wifi traffic through the global Zscaler Internet security platform for full
inspection and threat protection. With Zscaler Guest Wifi Protection, organizations can confidently offer
guest Wifi with carrier-grade security that is fast to deploy, easy to manage and extremely cost effective.
Unified Next Generation Graphical Administration and Reporting
Traditionally, enterprises have deployed dozens to hundreds of hardware appliances, typically from
multiple vendors, across multiple locations, in an attempt to secure their organization. This creates a
massive administrative burden—policies and configuration have to be manually entered and managed for
each device—and introduces security gaps due to inconsistencies, mis-configurations and operator errors.

Furthermore, hardware appliances are widely known for poorly designed, cryptic and hard to use
administrative interfaces—hurting administrator productivity and causing even more errors.

Zscaler believes that in today’s world of cloud computing, the expectation for administrative user
experience and productivity has been set by firms like Salesforce, Workday and Google. The new webbased,
next generation graphical administrative and reporting tools included with Zscaler Fall 2014
provide a modern, attractive user experience designed to maximize administrator productivity, ease of use
and happiness.
With nothing more than an Internet connection and a Mac, PC or an iPad, an administrator can securely
manage an entire, global Zscaler deployment—from administration to policy management, reporting,
analytics and forensics. Multiple Zscaler clients worldwide are already using the new Fall 2014
administrative interface to manage massive Internet security deployments, each spanning more than a
hundred countries and hundreds of thousands of users. The benefits are unprecedented administrator
productivity, better security and complete global visibility—all from a single pane of glass.

Instant Security Risk Assessment

The new Zscaler Security Preview offers an instant risk assessment to see how effective a company’s
current security systems are at stopping threats, complying with regulations and safeguarding intellectual
property. Based on learnings and intelligence from more than 5,000 Zscaler clients, Security Preview
provides a comprehensive security analysis and makes recommendations for closing any gaps.
