Zscaler, a cloud security specialist, says it has “broadened its partner ecosystem” to include new SD-WAN and security partners. It also now has a closed-loop integration with Microsoft Cloud App Security.
At its Zenith Live user conference in Las Vegas it announced the addition of HPE’s Aruba, CloudGenix, LANCOM Systems, and 128 Technology to its SD-WAN partnerships with Aryaka, Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela), Citrix, FatPipe Networks, InfoVista, Nuage Networks from Nokia, Talari Networks, and VeloCloud, now part of VMware (NSX SD-WAN).
Zscaler’s security ecosystem aims to improve the effectiveness of threat mitigation techniques through interoperability, it says. “As enterprises adopt cloud-enabled architectures and deploy cloud applications and services, routing and securing internet traffic presents a significant challenge. Since hub-and-spoke architectures cannot meet the unique demands of the cloud, many enterprises are turning to SD-WAN to optimise branch-traffic routing, reduce backhauling, and establish local internet breakouts.”
