Zscaler Posture Control is a comprehensive Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP designed to secure cloud-native applications across multi-cloud environments. It provides organizations with unified visibility and control over their cloud security posture, enabling efficient identification, prioritization, and remediation of risks throughout the application lifecycle. By integrating seamlessly into development and DevOps workflows, Posture Control ensures that security measures are enforced without disrupting innovation and deployment processes. Key Features and Functionality: - Agentless Architecture: Utilizes an API-based approach to scan virtual machines (VMs, containers, and serverless workloads without the need for agents, ensuring comprehensive coverage and reducing operational complexity. - Advanced Threat and Risk Correlation: Identifies and assesses combinations of security issues that may appear low-risk individually but pose significant threats when combined, providing a holistic view of potential attack vectors. - Full Lifecycle Security: Implements security measures early in the development phase ("shift-left" strategy to detect and resolve issues before they reach production, enhancing overall security posture. - Integration with Development Tools: Seamlessly integrates with popular development platforms and DevOps tools, such as VS Code, GitHub, and Jenkins, facilitating continuous automated risk assessment and security enforcement from build to runtime. - Compliance Monitoring: Offers continuous monitoring for compliance with frameworks like CIS, NIST, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2, providing detailed reporting and dashboards for visibility and audit readiness. Primary Value and Problem Solved: Zscaler Posture Control addresses the challenges of securing dynamic, cloud-native environments where traditional security tools often fall short. By consolidating multiple point solutions into a single, agentless platform, it reduces complexity and operational overhead. The solution enhances collaboration between security, IT, and DevOps teams by providing a unified view of risks and integrating security directly into development workflows. This approach enables organizations to proactively identify and remediate security issues, ensuring robust protection for cloud applications without hindering development speed or agility.
