A firewall will not save you here.

IaaS Zscaler changes how traffic moves, how data is inspected, and how control is enforced. It sits between users, workloads, and the internet. It strips away the old model of private network perimeters and replaces them with policy-driven, cloud-delivered security at wire speed.

Infrastructure as a Service, or IaaS, is now the base layer for many organizations. Compute, storage, and networking run as elastic, location-agnostic resources. Zscaler integrates directly into this layer, inspecting every connection without dragging packets through centralized choke points. This is Zero Trust applied to cloud infrastructure.

Zscaler for IaaS gives direct-to-cloud protection. All outbound traffic is encrypted, scanned for threats, and matched against real-time policy. Inbound traffic is validated before it touches a workload. Integration with AWS, Azure, and GCP means one security model covers all deployments. No exposed IP addresses, no public attack surface.

For engineers, this means you can provision and protect VMs, containers, or serverless resources without building custom VPNs or managing ACL sprawl. APIs and Terraform providers make it possible to bake Zscaler enforcement into infrastructure code. Compliance requirements become simpler to meet because logging, DLP, and threat prevention are built in.

Zscaler’s IaaS architecture uses secure application access instead of network access. Workloads talk to workloads over authenticated, encrypted channels. Administrators define trust by identity and context, not by subnet. User traffic is steered to the nearest Zscaler service edge, cutting latency and blocking threats before they spread.

Choosing IaaS Zscaler is choosing a security posture that is dynamic, global, and consistent. It scales with your infrastructure. It reduces your blast radius. It replaces point solutions with a platform designed for the way we run infrastructure now.
