About Zscaler Private Access
Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is a zero trust network access service that replaces VPNs and VDI for reaching internal applications in data centres and clouds. Instead of placing users on the network, it brokers one-to-one connections between verified users and specific apps, which stay hidden from the internet. Features include AI-assisted app discovery and segmentation, clientless browser access, privileged remote access for RDP, SSH and VNC, Layer 7 AppProtection inspection, an on-premises Private Service Edge and agentless access for partners.
