Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) is the world’s leading Secure Web Gateway (SWG), delivering cloud–native, AI–powered cyberthreat protection and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to the Internet and SaaS apps. Zscaler’s proxy architecture enables full TLS/SSL inspection at scale, with connections brokered between users and applications based on identity, context, and business policies. ZIA is part of the Zero Trust Exchange (ZTE), and all Internet–bound traffic is be sent through the ZTE.

Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) Sits inline between your company and the Internet, protecting your enterprise from cyberthreats, stopping intellectual property leaks, and ensuring compliance with corporate content and access policies.

ZIA monitors your network and user activity, secures roaming users and mobile devices, and manages all of this globally from a single management console. There is no hardware to buy, no appliances to manage and policy changes can be effected globally across your organization from a single console in minutes.

Zscaler can protect your employees from malware (including Ransomware), viruses and other Internet threats, blocking attacks in real time. Zscaler security services scan and filter every byte of your network traffic, including SSL-encrypted sessions , as it passes to and from the Internet.

Zscaler provides a Secure Service Edge (SSE), which when combined with an SD–WAN product such as Aruba EdgeConnect can provide a complete SASE architecture. It allows secure local breakout for your branch network. SD–WAN makes local breakouts easy. Zscaler makes them secure. Learn more: Network Transformation

One advantage of a cloud–delivered security gateway is that it can be delivered very quickly. See Rapid Internet Protection for a discussion on how protection can be enabled very rapidly. One major airline in the United States, responding to an urgent cyber–event deployed Zscaler to the majority of its users (over 60,000 users) over one weekend, and that included planning time!

The Zero Trust Exchange (ZTE) is the core component of the Zscaler Secure Web Gateway. All traffic, including encrypted traffic can be routed through the ZTE for inspection and control

Zscaler can also help protect IoT (Internet of Things) and OT (Operational Technology) environments, and help to enable Industry 4.0 in industrial environments. Zscaler can allow for secure data exchange in IoT environments such as Smart City and power generation, and help protect legacy OT environments by providing a Zero Trust Exchange between OT and IT systems.

ZTNA, or Zero Trust Network Access, provides secure, identity-based access to private applications and data for users and devices by verifying their identity and device health before granting temporary, granular access to only the necessary resources, rather than broad network access. It replaces traditional VPNs by creating a "software-defined perimeter" (SDP) for each user and application, significantly reducing the attack surface and improving security for modern, cloud-first organizations.

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is a next-generation, non-VPN based solution for secure remote access. The patented Zscaler Private Access solution works by abstracting the private, internal application from the network on which it resides, providing access from authorized users to specific applications via encrypted, per–session microtunnels that are created upon demand.

The end user is never directly connected to the application, nor is the user connected to the network on which the application resides. ZPA instead delivers functionality similar to a forward and a reverse proxy acting together. This ensure that networks and applications cannot be infected or exploited by open network tunnels.

Redefining Private Application Access

• Access to private applications, whether they are in your Data Center or a private segment of a Cloud Provider, no longer requires access to a public network, or use of a VPN. By hiding the public attack surface, the risk of cyber attack is dramatically decreased, and the possibility of DDOS attacks against private applications is removed.
• Inside–out connections ensure applications are invisible to unauthorized users and are never exposed to the Internet, preventing DDOS attacks
• Application segmentation, without network segmentation, connects users to specific applications and limits lateral movement
• The Internet becomes the new secure network via end–to–end encrypted TLS tunnels

Zero Trust Network Access is one component of a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture.

Using AWS Cloud for Disaster Recovery

Hararei provides a range of cloud-based Disaster Recovery solutions to suit every budget and recovery objective. From simple Backup/Restore solutions to full-scale Active/Active solutions that operate across multiple sites or Clouds, Hararei can help you implement a Disaster Recovery solution that meets your requirements.

Hararei is an AWS Consulting Partner and has the commercial IT experience to properly architect and implement a robust Disaster Recovery strategy

Many companies provide a Disaster Recovery environment to ensure continued operation during natural disasters, political strife, epidemics or other potential disruptions to business. The IT Disaster Recovery Plan is typically part of a wider Business Continuity Programme, and it can be a major expense for any company.

Expenses involved in providing a Disaster Recovery capability can often approach (or even exceed, due to data replication requirements) the cost of the primary IT Production costs, which leads some comapnies to try to save money by reducing the capabilities in the Disaster Recovery environment.

The good news is that Amazon Web Services (AWS) can be used as part of a strategic IT Disaster Recovery Plan and will usually be lower in cost than existing capabilities, and most likely provide a better time to recovery. We outline 4 different strategies here that can form the basis of an effecient and cost-effective Disaster Recovery plan:

• Backup/Restore - backup critical data and applications to the Cloud and Restore when there is an event
• Pilot Light - backup/restore, plus some critical infrastructure already alive in the Cloud
• Warm Standby - backup/restore, plus a pre-configured infrastructure, but with minimal active infrastructure
• Multisite - Active/Active infrastructure across traditional Data Centers and Cloud Regions

The actual strategies used depends on RTO/RPO requirements and budgets, and will be different for every company

More and more companies are embracing the Public Cloud for IaaS/PaaS.

Cloud migrations can range from simple provisioning of a couple of AWS virtual servers, to entire applications with stringent data protection requirements, or to entire enterprises with complicated global privacy and regulatory requirements. Consider the following solutions for your Cloud Journey:

• Cloud Disaster Recovery can be used as part of an IT Disaster Recovery Plan and will usually be lower in cost than existing capabilities, and most likely provide a better time to recovery.

Leveraging AWS best practices, Hararei partners with you to define a multi–phased roadmap for your Cloud Journey:

Hey IT, don't fight it! Embrace it! Adopt a Cloud First strategy to support your business’s digital transformation.

Remember, at the end of the day, every CEO (yes, EVERY CEO!!!) only cares about three things:

1. Top line growth (revenue growth)
2. Bottom line growth (margin growth)
3. Reduce/Manage Risk

IT started to embrace public SaaS years ago (SalesForce.com, WebEx, HR/Payroll services, etc.). And now, more and more companies are leveraging IaaS and PaaS in the public cloud too. Why? Simple - their IT leaders realized that the benefits associated with public cloud (time to market, speed, agility, no CapEx, low OpEx, feature rich, flexibility, scalability, elasticity, security, etc.) will help to achieve some if not all of things CEO's care about.

Patch management is the process of remediating software vulnerabilities by sourcing, distributing and applying software updates and is the most important part of a vulnerability management program.

Patching helps to fix security vulnerabilities in operating systems and applications before they are exploited by threat actors. Operating System and Application patching is a vital layer of defense against malware and ransomware attacks.

Action/1 is a highly rated, easy to use SaaS application that helps manage patching across a range of endpoints, and is suitable for enterprises large and small.

Expanding use of Cloud applications, relentless cyber attacks, increased bandwidth requirements, mobile workforces and the growth of newer technologies like IoT all add up to greater security challenges facing organizations. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architectures address the need for improved agility and performance, and increased network security.

What Is SASE?

SASE is the combination of an advanced SDWAN edge deployed at the branch and comprehensive cloud–delivered Security Service Edge (SSE)

By transforming both WAN and security architectures with SASE, enterprises can help ensure direct, secure access to applications and services across on–premise and multi–cloud environments, regardless of the users and devices used to access them.

At Hararei, we recognize that it is a journey for any mature organization to adopt a new infrastructure architecture, and can help guide your adoption of these Cloud Generation technologies

Single–vendor SASE offers organizations the many benefits of SASE, while making adoption simpler and more cost–effective. Look for a solution that is integrated, unified, flexible, and easy to use

SASE adoption is rising and deployment preferences are mixed. Research conducted by Ponemon Institute shows nearly two–thirds of organizations have deployed, or plan to deploy SASE in 2025. At Hararei, we have been deploying and managin SASE for our customers for over 8 years

Hararei provides a Managed Backup service for backups to the Cloud with limitless point in time restore capabilities, ensuring that even if you are hit with a ransomware attack, you can roll back your user devices to a point prior to the attack
