Zscaler Announces Expansion of PartnerEcosystem to Include Leading Cloud Application Security Brokers (CASB)
February 10, 2016
Zscaler, the leading cloud security company, today announced an expansion of its open partnerecosystem to include Cloud Application Security Brokers (CASB) and is pleased to announce that CipherCloud, CloudLock and Skyhigh Networks are now partners of Zscaler.
The changing IT landscape brought on by the shift of applications from the data center to the cloud and the increased access through mobile devices introduces new threats that go undetected by appliances deployed in the data center. Enterprises have to rethink their traditional appliance-centric castle-and-moat security architectures while continuing to provide their users with access to cloud applications and services. Zscaler’s cloud security platform provides full inline threat protection to guard against cyber attacks, prevent data leakage and allow safe enablement of cloud applications by employees.

"We’re pleased to join forces with Zscaler to deliver best-of-breed cloud security and analytics for our enterprise customer base,” said Dev Ghoshal, senior vice president of global alliances, CipherCloud. “The rise of shadow IT, the unending litany of breaches and tighter data privacy regulations compel organizations to extend data controls into the cloud applications in use by employees. As a pioneer in CASB, and the only player with FIPS 140-2 validation, CipherCloud is pleased to make our award-winning technologies readily available to Zscaler’s customers and resellers.”
