What type of access does Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) provide?

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) provides secure access to internal applications. This capability is crucial for organizations looking to provide users with seamless and secure connections to applications hosted in data centers or the cloud, without broadly exposing the network. ZPA operates on a zero-trust model, meaning that it verifies the identity of users before granting access, ensuring that only authorized individuals can interact with sensitive internal resources. This helps protect against data breaches and promotes greater security for corporate applications, particularly in a remote work environment where traditional network perimeters are no longer effective.

The other choices do not accurately represent the primary function of ZPA. While the solution does not provide access to all internet sites or free access to cloud services, its focus is primarily on secure access to designated internal applications rather than general web access. Access based on user location is also not the primary mechanism for ZPA; instead, it relies on user identity and policies rather than geographic location to control access.
