How to Use Zero Trust to Secure Workloads in the Public Cloud
This SANS product review evaluates Zscaler’s Zero Trust platform for securing cloud workloads across multicloud environments. It explains how traditional cloud networking exposes workloads to unnecessary attack surfaces, lateral movement, complex architectures, and limited visibility, while Zero Trust eliminates these risks through workload segmentation, least-privilege access, and centralized policy enforcement. The review demonstrates deployment using Infrastructure as Code, Cloud Connector, traffic forwarding, workload analytics, resilient cloud connectivity, TLS inspection, malware blocking, intrusion prevention, URL filtering, and data loss prevention. Testing confirmed that Zscaler effectively blocked malicious files, insecure traffic, unauthorized uploads, and unsanctioned websites
