Zscaler Sharpens Zero-Trust Approach As Ransomware Threats Escalate
Zscaler, Friday, August 8th, 2025
As ransomware attacks evolve from encrypting data to stealing it, a zero-trust framework becomes increasingly critical. This approach replaces traditional security models with a 'never trust, always verify' posture that treats every access request as a potential threat.
Zscaler Cloud implements its zero-trust framework by replacing outdated perimeter defenses with identity- and context-based access controls. These controls verify every user, device and application request as though it originates from an untrusted network, according to Deepen Desai (pictured), chief security officer of Zscaler Inc.
