In what way does Zscaler enhance security measures for users?

Zscaler enhances security measures for users by applying context-aware security based on user data. This approach allows Zscaler to analyze various factors such as user identity, device type, and the specific context in which access is requested. By leveraging this information, Zscaler can enforce appropriate security policies dynamically, adapting to the risk level associated with a particular request. This level of granularity in security measures helps organizations to better protect their sensitive data and resources, ensuring that only legitimate users have access based on their context.

The other options do not contribute effectively to enhancing security. Outdated authentication protocols would not be able to provide the necessary level of security required in today’s threat landscape. Limiting security to local networks would neglect the need for secure access to cloud applications and resources that are increasingly being utilized. Merely protecting against external threats fails to account for the risks posed by internal threats or compromised accounts. Hence, the context-aware approach is crucial for robust and dynamic user security in a modern, cloud-centric environment.
