Simply route Internet-bound traffic to Zscaler Cloud Firewall and it immediately begins inspecting all traffic - all ports and protocols - scaling to handle SSL inspection and cloud application traffic with long-lived connections. And since Zscaler is a 100 percent cloud-delivered service - part of a global multi-tenant cloud security platform - there is no hardware or software to deploy or manage. With Zscaler, policies are not tied to a physical location instead, they follow the users to provide identical protection no matter where they connect. Zscaler allows Internet traffic to be routed locally and securely for all ports and protocols.

Securing local Internet breakouts - without backhauling and without duplicating the security appliance stack at each location - is a critical component of Zscaler Cloud Firewall. Zscaler enables fast and secure local Internet breakouts and, because it’s 100 percent in the cloud, there’s no hardware to buy, deploy, or manage. Zscaler Cloud Firewall brings next-gen firewall controls and advanced security to all users in all locations - for all ports and protocols.

Performance degrades with SSL insection and cloud apps with long-lived connections.

But, these local breakouts need to be secured. Because of these challenges, organizations are increasingly turning to SD-WAN to establish local Internet breakouts. Traditional firewalls are easily overwhelmed by cloud apps, because they cannot scale to support the high volume of long-lived connections the apps create, and they cannot handle SSL-encrypted traffic or non-standard ports and protocols. But this option is simply not viable in terms of the cost and complexity of deploying and managing them all. One way to route traffic locally and secure this new world is to deploy stacks of security appliances in every branch office.

To securely embrace cloud apps and services and deliver a fast user experience, Internet traffic needs to be routed locally. These cloud applications, including Microsoft Office 365, were designed to be accessed directly via the Internet. The workforce is now distributed and mobile, and the number of applications leaving the confines of the data center for the cloud continues to grow.
