San Jose, California, UNITED STATES
SAN JOSE, Calif., June  21, 2023  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, today announced that Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd., a global leader in solar cell and panel manufacturing with sales operations in over 100 countries, is leveraging the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ cloud security platform to deliver seamless, secure access for its workforce and to accelerate its digital transformation initiatives. Stemming from its divestiture from SunPower Corporation, a U.S.-based leading distributed generation storage and energy services provider, Maxeon required a future-ready integrated security services edge (SSE) platform to provide secure, direct access to critical business applications for its 5,000 global employees and seamlessly add new security services as their organization scaled. “First and foremost, we had to make sure Maxeon maintained business continuity while ensuring our employees, applications and data remained secure. While we evaluated several big-name vendors, Zscaler came out as a clear winner because of its proven capabilities and position as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for 11 consecutive years,” said Stephen Gani, Chief Information Security Officer at Maxeon. “The divestiture was in progress during the pandemic, so our immediate concern was protecting our sensitive data and employees who were working from a variety of remote locations from the growing set of sophisticated threats – ransomware, zero-day malware, and other advanced attacks.”
As its initial steps in its zero trust and SSE journey, Maxeon deployed Zscaler Internet Access™ solution for fast direct-to-cloud web access, inline traffic inspection, and security that moves with users, regardless of where they work. The team also added Zscaler Cloud Data Loss Prevention™ solution into its security stack to gain visibility into data across all internet and encrypted SSL traffic and to enable data discovery across users, applications, content types, and file types. To help ensure an optimal user experience regardless of location, Maxeon also implemented Zscaler Digital Experience™ solution, an integrated service in the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, across its global offices. With Zscaler Digital Experience, Maxeon’s IT team was able to quickly diagnose and remediate quality of service issues between users and applications at speed to maintain a seamless user experience and ensure business continuity. With the portfolio of solutions on hand, Maxeon enabled safe and reliable access to the web and SaaS apps post-divestiture, eliminating the need for a high-maintenance data center and associated costs, as well as improving and securing the user experience for its global workforce of 5,000. “Balancing cybersecurity, employee experience and cost efficiencies remains a challenge for most organizations. With a growing list of products and solutions available in the market, it can be a daunting task for IT teams to decipher what they truly need and implement the right solutions to achieve this balancing act,” shared Scott Robertson, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific & Japan at Zscaler. “It becomes pertinent for organizations to choose a partner that can help them navigate and implement a robust and seamless security architecture. We are especially delighted to support a company like Maxeon in achieving its workforce modernization and security transformation goals. We look forward to our continued partnership with the team as they continue to optimize their security infrastructure.”

The innovations not only enhance the monitoring and remediation of sophisticated attacks but also deliver a fundamentally new approach to securely connecting branch offices – all while simplifying and streamlining the management process at scale for IT professionals. Large-scale cybersecurity attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and widespread. These attacks can have a devastating impact on an organization's reputation, financial stability, and day-to-day operations. To combat these threats, it's essential for businesses to have a comprehensive cloud security platform that can provide real-time threat detection, automated response, and proactive risk mitigation. Processing over 300 billion transactions per day, the Zscaler platform is a fully integrated, extensible cloud security platform that provides customers with always-on intelligence that allows organizations to take a proactive approach to security, respond to threats efficiently, and optimize their security posture.

Zscaler Risk360 - A powerful risk quantification and visualization framework
Zscaler Risk360 helps CIOs and CISOs make informed and expedited business decisions that help reduce cyber risk. By leveraging a rich set of signals from internal and external sources within the Zscaler platform, IT and security leaders gain unparalleled visibility and actionable intelligence from more than 100 data-driven factors to enable the following:
Powerful Risk Quantification - Delivers real-time risk scores for all stages of cyber breaches, as well as risk visualized across four entities, including workforce, third parties, applications, and assets. Intuitive Visualization and Reporting - Filters top drivers for cyber risk and anticipates financial exposure estimates, including financial remediation recommendations, with the ability to create concise board-level presentation materials. Actionable Remediation - Prioritizes actionable recommendations with guided workflows to investigate and remediate the most critical issues to keep an organization secure and operations running non-stop. Zero Trust Branch Connectivity - Redefining branch connectivity for superior security and simplified management
Zero Trust Branch Connectivity delivers simplicity, scale, and superior security, dramatically reducing recurring overhead costs associated with MPLS connections for branch locations. This fundamentally new approach to securely connecting branch offices helps eliminate risky site-to-site VPNs over SD-WANs resulting in improved user, application, and data security, lowered costs, and reduced operational complexity, all while being able to significantly accelerate M&A. A new plug-and-play appliance features zero touch provisioning, making installs effortless. Zero Trust Branch Connectivity enables enterprises to:
Replace Site-to-Site VPNs and Costly MPLS Connections with Zero Trust - Securely connecting users, services, and IoT/OT devices between branches and their application stack. Simplify Branch IT Operations - Providing direct-to-internet connectivity to reach cloud-based applications eliminates the need to maintain complex legacy routing and reduces infrastructure. Significantly accelerate M&A and B2B - Reducing time to productivity for organizations that are bringing people and business applications together. “Enterprises relying on site-to-site VPNs for their branch locations are experiencing increased volumes of security threats,” said Naresh Kumar, VP, Product Management, Zscaler. “Site-to-site VPNs create an entry point for lateral threat movement and lack the security benefits of a zero trust architecture. Zscaler has reimagined branch connectivity by eliminating VPNs and providing secure access via the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange for users, servers, and devices at branch sites - all you need is a broadband connection.”
