What is the impact of network latency on Zscaler's service delivery?

Network latency can significantly impact the performance of Zscaler's service delivery. When latency is high, it can lead to delays in the communication between a user's device and Zscaler's cloud platform. This, in turn, can result in slower response times for applications, prolonged loading times for web pages, and generally degraded user experience.

Zscaler, being a cloud security service, relies heavily on real-time data processing to provide effective threat protection and policy enforcement. Any latency can interrupt this process, causing delays in threat detection or potentially leading to a slower implementation of security policies. Therefore, managing latency is crucial for ensuring optimal service performance and maintaining a seamless user experience.

While there may be effects on specific conditions, such as mobile app usage, the broader impact of latency affects all service delivery through Zscaler, making it vital to address in any network strategy.
