What role does application visibility play in Zscaler’s offerings?

Application visibility is a crucial feature in Zscaler's offerings because it enables better security policy enforcement. By providing detailed insights into the applications being used within an organization, Zscaler allows administrators to create more effective and tailored security policies based on actual usage patterns. This visibility helps in identifying potentially risky applications and enables the implementation of policies that can mitigate threats while ensuring that legitimate business applications remain accessible.

With application visibility, organizations can monitor traffic patterns and behavior, facilitating real-time decision-making regarding security measures. This insight fosters a proactive approach, as it allows for the dynamic adjustment of policies based on usage trends, thereby enhancing overall security posture without unnecessarily restricting access to productive applications. This feature ultimately supports a more secure, efficient, and user-friendly network environment.
